           Summary: nv driver does not automagically adjust screen
                    resolution when docked/undocked
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/nVidia
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: cgbookho at ncsu.edu


I have a Dell laptop capable of 1920x1200 resolution and a docking station
connected to a CRT capable of 1600x1200.  When docked the display is redirected
to the CRT.  The resolution should automatically be changed to 1600x1200.  The
display is redirected, but the CRT resolution remains 1920x1200.  

The nvidia binary driver automagically makes this change, but not in the nv
driver.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
- xorg-x11-6.7.0-5

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC2 on laptop with non-standard display capability
2. modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding 1920x1200 to front of Screen
modes list
3. Reboot undocked.  X11 will properly display 1920x1200 on laptop LCD
4. Reboot docked.  X11 will improperly display 1920x1200 on external CRT
  
Actual results:
When docked, resolution remains at 1920x1200

Expected results:
When docked, resolution should switch to 1600x1200 without manual intervention
as the binary driver does
