Bug#551666: Same problem here, with bigger trouble
Hello,
I've installed Debian Squeeze (testing) on my Eeepc 1002HA, with KMS
enabled, and tried to work in my current configuration, with an
external monitor plugged. When the GDM portal arises, I get a screen
with the common resolution of the both screens, integrated and
external, which is only 640x480 ! Going to a console and trying to
change this with xrandr doesn't work : I tried :
# env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/lib/gdm/\:0.Xauth xrandr --output VGA1 -- auto
gives an X error and resolution doesn't change on external monitor.
Moreover, if I start only with integrated monitor (in 1024x600), login on my account and then plug my external monitor, I usually have a X freezed (with mouse cursor also frozen) ! The system is always running, but X is unkillable... Perhaps that the fact I'm using compiz has an impact on that.
I don't know how to workaround this, so for the moment, I've return to my previous Lenny install…
FYI, the xrandr -q (on my current Lenny system) gives :
