Bug Description
Binary package hint: xrandr
I have a DELL Latitude D630 notebook with a d/port docking station and a DELL 2007wfp display which is connected to the docking station with a DVI plug. The notebook has a resolution of 1440x900. The external 2007wfp Display has a resolution of 1680x1050. When I start the notebook only the resolution of the notebook panel is detected correctly. But if the notebook is docked into the docking station GDM and GNOME are starting with 1280x1024 instead of 1680x1050. I can change the resolution manually but after the next boot the resolution is 1280x1024 again. (The behaviour of Gutsy is completely different but not really better ;-)

Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Sounds like you have the intel driver which doesn't support more than 2048x2048 sized screen.
