Resolution Problems on a Lenovo L191 LCD Monitor.

Hi all,
I am running Debian "Lenny" on an IBM Thinkpad X60 with a docking
station, which is attached to a 19" Lenovo L191 screen. I have an Intel
Mobile 945GM graphics card and I'm using the "intel" driver. The native
resolution of my laptop screen is 1024x768, while the native resolution
of my LCD screen is 1280x1024.

My problem is that the resolution on my external LCD screen is is always
detected at 1024x768?
When I use "Etch" the monitor is always detected properly (1280x1024).

I can get xorg to switch the resolution to 1280x1024 by running this
command "xrandr --output VGA --auto" after I login. But then I need to
logout and back in again so the fonts look right.

I couldn' find anything that gave me a clue in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
file..... I've got three ziped up logs, one after a fresh boot and one
after I changed the resolution and one is the diff between the two.
I can attach them for anyone that can help with this, I didn't want to
sent it to the entire list.

Here's a snip of my xorg.conf if it will help:

----------------------------Snip---------------------------

Can some one help me with this?

Thanks

Your problem would be more on-topic on the main xorg list,

Thanks,
