The upstream bug report for the lid issue is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11455 . From what I remember the reason that this is not trivial to fix is that the methods they have used to detect the lid status is unreliable on some computers. This could result in the internal LVDS display being disabled even when it shouldn't be.

Since the lid issue is being worked on upstream already, I suggest we focus on the issue that the resolution is set to the lowest common denominator (and sometimes even lower, see bug 404919) here. That is why I have changed the title of this bug report and set the priority to Wishlist; this is more likely a feature that we want to change than a real bug.
