(T40 2373 w/ 14" 1024x768 on Radeon 7500 16mb | Ubuntu Breezy)
i've got a similar dillema...
When i use the laptop, it is either with the dock & moniter, or on its own =
-
never hotplugging, and only one screen at once. I also would like to get
1280x1024 when docked, but 1024x768 when undocked... and i'm a bit confused
with what has been said here. It seems that i can reconfigure Xorg when
docked to get full res, but would i have to reconfigure every time i turned
on my computer?
Help would be appreciated,
-Ben
