My previous laptop had a similar issue with Fedora 21, I solved it like
this... I created a script named 99-xrandr.sh, placed it
in/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d and made it executable by all (owned by
root), the script looked like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
/bin/xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900
903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
/bin/xrandr --addmode eDP1 1600x900_60.00
/bin/xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1600x900_60.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You would want to set it up to force VGA1 to be 1920x1080 like so:
-- run cvt to get the needed string
# cvt 1920 1080
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088
1120 -hsync +vsync
Then create your script:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576
1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
/bin/xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080_60.00
/bin/xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900_60.00
Not sure if this will work since your external monitor may not be
connected at boot time, but worth a shot
