If you unplug VGA before startup, does LVDS come with 1280x800? If you
stop LVDS with xrandr and pass --auto to the VGA output, does it choose
1280x1024?
If so, this behavior is just caused by the server trying to find a mode
that works for both monitors, so that we are sure that the login window
will appear on both centers.
