Public bug reported: Usually when I plug in an external monitor (when awake, or before waking from suspend), my external display is rendered with 1024x768 resolution, and this is the highest resolution displayed by xrandr:
DP-2 connected 1024x768+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.00* 800x600 60.32 56.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 But in fact if I reboot I get the full set of options back (1680x) for that monitor.
