I think I'm hitting the same bug. Up until a week ago or so, my external display was working fine at native res of 1680x1050. I would use the following command to activate it: xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto
Then I updated to version 6.9.0 and the next time I started X I only had a resolution of 1280x800 (the native res of my laptop panel) and no amount of xrandr trickery would fix it. The external display just cloned the LVDS no matter what. Even when I did something like: xrandr --output LVDS --off it would shut off the external display as well. The laptop is a Compaq Presario R4025CA, with a ATI Radeon XPress 200m. External monitor is a 22" widescreen LCD from Dell. I dumped my xorg.conf and let dpkg-reconfigure make me a new one. Now xrandr thinks that its outputting 1680x1050, but it's really only 1280x800. My external monitor reports it is getting 1280x800 input. However, since xrandr reports 1680x1050, my desktop is that size, and extends past the physical screen. xrandr output: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1200 VGA-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 473mm x 296mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 60.0 60.0* 1600x1024 60.0 1400x1050 74.8 70.0 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 59.9 60.0 1440x900 60.2 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 60.0 1152x864 75.0 74.8 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 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 75.0 60.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 330mm x 210mm 1280x800 60.1*+ 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) I'm going to try and downgrade if I can find a package to see if that fixes it.
