Bug Description
I'm running hardy on a Samsung Q45 laptop with Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics (https:/
Xrandr works perfectly with this card. However the maximum resolution is fixed at X startup. So if you later plug in a larger monitor or if you want a multi-head setup where you plug in the second monitor after boot, it just won't work.
The "solution" is to specify a larger maximum resolution in the xorg.conf config file:
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2048 2048
EndSubSection
This should not be necessary. X should automatically detect that a new maximum resolution is needed.
