Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Thanks to the great new Intel driver my external widescreen monitor Samsung 215tw with the native resolution 1680x1050 works fine out of the box after system start.
But if I start my laptop without the external monitor connected and plug it afterwards it is recognized but the maximum resolution is 1280x1024 and the default refresh rate 75 which is to high for my monitor. It is possible to enable the monitor with 1280x1024@59.9 but it looks awful.
