wouter@celtic:~$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy linux-image-$(uname -r)
linux-image-2.6.31-1-amd64:
  Installed: 2.6.31-2
  Candidate: 2.6.31-2
  Version table:

That's today, after an 'apt-get update'. I don't think so.

When I run 'xrandr' without arguments, it still only shows the supported
resolutions of the original monitor, rather than those of the monitor
that I'm connected to at that point.
