Kind of a specialized question here, I can't find anything on the

which matches my problem.
I have this new Dell D600 laptop which I have installed FC2 on. It
has a SXVGA+ (ie, 1400x1050) display. X will display at this
resolution (at 24-bit depth) on the LCD display, no problem.
However, when I plug the laptop into a docking station which has an
Acer 77e 17" monitor attached to it, the Acer displays the 1400x1050
desktop, as viewed through a panning 640x480 window.
It may be related to this bug.

My monitor is not DDC compliant, it will work at 1600*1200 with this
laptop (is capable of much more but lappy isn't).
However I can not get it to run beyond 1024*768, inital tries had me
stuck at 800*600.
I have run my laptop with a DDC capable monitor and get sizes I expect.
I have got linux running with this monitor fine, I beleive the problem
is related to xorg trying to dynamicly configure itself.
