Hi,

I have an external screen adapted to my X61s. If I boot the machine
connected to the screen, everything is fine. But booting without
connection does not allow me to use it. I try it with xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 2048 x 768
VGA connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1024x768       60.0 +   75.1     75.0     70.1     60.0
   832x624        74.6
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
   640x480        75.0     72.8     72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0
59.9
   720x400        70.1
LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
246mm x 185mm
   1024x768       50.0*+   60.0     40.0
   800x600        60.3     56.2
   640x480        60.0     59.9

This I get with the monitor plugged in /after/ booting. I get the same
if the monitor power is on or off =E2=80=93 but unplugging it, I get

VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

So is there any chance to get it working without restarting the machine
or X?

Thanks for any help,
