Some more testing data:
Trying to get a cloned display on a VGA monitor results in a similar
unusable state.
Laptop: 1280x800 native LVDS
Monitor: 1280x1024 native VGA
When running the command "xrandr --output VGA --auto", 1280x1024 is
correctly set as the resolution, however, what is output is not
1280x1024. Instead, it looks as though the LVDS screen tries to display
1280x1024, and skews is down to 1280x800, so that everything is
squished. For some reason, the VGA output ALSO compresses the image, so
I am left with an unusable half-screen (as the bottom half is black)
