If I start with LVDS open and VGA plugged in, I get 800x600 on both
screens (and the /dev/tty1 console is 1024x600).
If I start with LVDS *closed* (before KMS loads) and VGA plugged in, I
get 1920x1200 on VGA, nothing on LVDS even if I open it afterwards, and
the system console is 1920x1200 too (that's pretty great, so that's what
I usually do after I press the "power on" button: I immediately close
the lid).
