** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  It seems that Xorg sets an Virtual size on start which is as high as the 
needed resolution (x resolution value * x resolution value) but if a Display 
with a higher resolution is connected it can only use resolutions which are the 
same or lower than the virtual one.
  There are two possible solutions imho.
  Xorg should use the maximum virtual size if it doesn't need so much mem or 
the better one: Xorg should be able to change the virtual size on the fly if a 
monitor with a higher resolution is hotplugged.
