s-c-d is mostly deprecated (we really ought to get around to removing
it). In GNOME, use gnome-display-properties. In KDE, use krandrtray. If
the displays don't both come up at the right resolution by default,
though, then either that's a driver bug you should report, or you still
have a buglet in your configuration somewhere. The native drivers should
always bring up all connected displays at their native resolutions on
boot unless configured otherwise, that's the intended behaviour.
