[Impact]

 * Booting laptop in docking station with lid closed results in low resolution 
(1024x768) on external monitor
 * Machine uses Mirror-Mode when booting even when laptop lid is closed
 * Low resolution desktop (1024x768) when user logs in, must be manually set to 
optimal resolution for external montior
 * Customer is preparing rollout to many non-technical users. Manually setting 
resolution should not be required.

[Test Case]
Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Boot system in docking station with lid closed
  2. Login screen is shown at 1024x768

After login, user desktop is still 1024x768
Manually setting resolution to optimal is successful

[Regression Potential]

 * I dont see any regression potential here, except for the user to end up auto 
configured optimal setup as seen in upstream code.
 * This may break display setup on really broken display drivers ( worst 
case/lid closed detection fails), in which we need to fix the bug with 
kernel/xorg .
