Sorry if I didn't make myself all that clear - but that is exactly what I have tried and it doesn't work. During startup X detects the built in display and sets the maximal resolution to 1024x768. It simply go above if X is started with the built in display active [1]. If I disable the built in display and _then_ start X it still doesn't work. [1] My laptop has three settings: build in only; external only; both built in and external. Can be switched between with Fn-F7 I tried adding the monitor and screen sections below to my XF86Config-4 and then making it the only screen sections mentioned in my ServerLayout. After restaring X (with the build in display disabled) the external display works just fine in 1280x1024.
