Thanks. But please see the TODO in the eeepc-acpi-scripts source. We had some different ideas about what to do with this. The reason it is hardwired now is not for lack of a way to get the best resolution (xrandr --auto should give you that) but because we used the default --same-as arrangement for the displays. Since the Eee's display is relatively small, I don't think that makes sense anymore. A more reasonable default is to support LCD-only, xinerama (the desktop is split across multiple displays), and VGA-only. What prevented us from doing this before is we could not count on knowing how the user had configured the "Virtual" size in xorg.conf (the Intel driver sets this by default to be too small for both displays). But in the TODO there is some example code for how we might discover the Virtual size in a script. I just haven't had the time yet to turn that into working code.
