Resolution Problems on a Lenovo L191 LCD Monitor.

Hi all,
I am running Debian "Lenny" on an IBM Thinkpad X60 with a docking 
station, which is attached to a 19" Lenovo L191 screen. I have an Intel 
Mobile 945GM graphics card and I'm using the "intel" driver. The native 
resolution of my laptop screen is 1024x768, while the native resolution 
of my LCD screen is 1280x1024.

My problem is that the resolution on my external LCD screen is is always 
detected at 1024x768?
When I use "Etch" the monitor is always detected properly (1280x1024).

I can get xorg to switch the resolution to 1280x1024 by running this 
command "xrandr --output VGA --auto" after I login. But then I need to 
logout and back in again so the fonts look right.

I couldn' find anything that gave me a clue in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
file..... I've got three ziped up logs, one after a fresh boot and one 
after I changed the resolution and one is the diff between the two.
I can attach them for anyone that can help with this, I didn't want to 
sent it to the entire list.  

Here's a snip of my xorg.conf if it will help:
