I have a laptop with an Intel GM45. When I start X without an external monitor attached, I get a framebuffer size (or maximum screen size) of 1440x1440 as the internal display is 1440x900. So when I try to connect my 24" external display, I can't run it at 1920x1200 - that's not so good.
Of course, if I start X WITH the external monitor attached, all is fine. So the question is "can I increase the size of the framebuffer without restarting X?" Or do I have to somehow force a larger virtual display to have enough space prereserved (I tried that in the config file, but a lot of things have changed since I was fluent writing config files, it seems... iow I didn't get it to work...)
