We can't set turn_on_external_monitors_at_startup to True again. We
already had that, and it causes external monitors to get powered off.
This means that you can't use a docked laptop with an external monitor
any more, since we don't have any cleverness to detect whether the lid
is closed at startup and the internal screen should be powered off (this
is because of too many buggy BIOSes, not because we couldn't implement
it).
So it seems that both settings cause problems. Can't we just entirely
disable this xrandr messing by default? On normal single-screen
settings, KMS and X should already care about the resolution, and any
mode change that we introduce will not only be prone to misconfigure
your screens, but also introduce major startup latencies and thus slow
down boot.
** Summary changed:
- Forces low refresh rate on CRT monitor
+ automatic xrandr module misconfigures monitors
** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Maverick)
