[Bug 310366] [NEW] [intel GM965/X3100] available resolutions missing on external monitor when plugged after X server startup

[mlx]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hardware: Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200 laptop (for more see
lspci output below) and Philps 200W6 monitor.

> 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or
System -> About Ubuntu.

Happens on Hardy, I beleive Interpid too and just tried Jaunty alpha2.


>2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.

An up-to date package of xserver-xorg-video-intel in each version, as of
December 22nd 2008.


3) What you expected to happen

I expect XRandR to automagically detect available resolutions on my
external monitor and offer them as options. The Display utility in KDE's
SystemSettings doesn't work so I'm using xrandr CLI tility instead. See
attached outputs below.


>4) What happened instead

Only resolutions up to 1280x1024 are offered. This only happens when I
connect the monitor after the Xserver starts up. When I have the monitor
connected before Xserver start (reboot, restart X, etc..), the
resolutions are detected and listed as expected. See attached outputs
below.
