I solved this now and just wanted to contribute something to this list. Thi=
s=20
is a /etc/X11/XF86config file for Thinkpads with Radeon Mobile graphiccards=
=2E=20
The main trick is that is enables you to use a higher resolution on the=20
external monitor than on the laptop panel.=20
Whenever the xserver is (re)started (via: KDE login, reboot, startx ) with=
=20
this config file it will first try to use the "extern"-layout with only the=
=20
external monitor at 1280x... .=20
If there is no external monitor connected, it will start with the 1024x...=
=20
"intern"-layout.
So if i plug in the external monitor into the laptop i just have to log out=
=20
and back into kde =3D> resolution changed!
The "intern" or the "extern" layout can also explicitly started with
startx -- -layout layoutname
This file is just meant to be a help for someone. Modify it for your needs.
!!! Of course you have to modify the settings for the external monitor=20
(modelines). Otherwise you might hurt you monitor!
PS: This XF86config - file is expecting the synaptics driver to be installe=
d.=20
a link in German is attached in the file.
So, good luck!
