Bug#551666: xserver-xorg-video-intel: KMS enabled driver sets wrong resolution at boot if external monitor plugged in
Sorry for the delay. I just ran another test with 2.6.32-5 (latest
version from testing) and it looks like the situation is still the same.
Actually, I just figured out that 1024x600 was not on the list of
supported modes for the external VGA, which might explain why the
resolution is downgraded to the lowest common denominator, in this case,
800x600. I'm not sure what is the right thing to do in that situation
anyway...
