Comment 11 for bug 137234

I now have attached an LCD panel to my vga out. In the new resolution tool, after clicking on "detect displays", it does NOT show the second display, however when I click in the preview area showing the monitors layout, the new screen suddenly is drawn.

There, I enabled it selecting its native resolution (1280x1024) and clicked on "apply". The external monitor was not turned on, and the laptop lcd disappeared from the preview in the resolution tool. My panels have changed their position (they are reflecting a 1280x1024 display) but the desktop remained at its original resolution, 1400x1050. I attach a screenshot of the resolution applet after clicking "apply", and of my desktop (however, the top panel was not captured - I don't know why) after setting 1280x1024.

Then, I logged out and in, and tried to put my resolution back. I attach the result, which is a desktop with a rectangle (i suspect of the old size) working, and the rest black. However notice that the black area has been captured by the gnome screenshot tool.

If I press my vga-out switch, the panels resize and move to match the resolution of the second display. However, the desktop and the windows are NOT resized. If I press it again, everything comes back to normal. I attach a screenshot of this too.

 I also attach my xserver configuration, out-of-the-box with hardy, and my x server log. The external LCD was never turned on, and it does not turn on with xrandr --output --auto.
