I recently got a second monitor, so now I'm running a dual setup. It works great, except that each boot I get a wrong resolution on the second one. But here's the strange part: I only need to turn the monitor off and on again to fix the issue. Another way of fixing it is to change resolution in the Screen settings in Gnome.

Code:
peter@skare ~ $ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3600 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192
HDMI-0 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
   1920x1200      60.0*+
   1600x1200      60.0 
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0 
   1152x864       75.0 
   1024x768       75.1     60.0 
   800x600        75.0     60.3 
   640x480        75.0     60.0 
   720x400        70.1 
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DIN disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected primary 1680x1050+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm
   1680x1050      59.9*+
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0 
   1280x960       60.0 
   1152x864       75.0 
   1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0 
   832x624        74.6 
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2 
   640x480        75.0     72.8     66.7     60.0 
   720x400        70.1


I'm running without Xorg.conf, except an 10-evdef.conf

10-evdev.conf wrote:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "se,se"
Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
Option "XkbModel" "tm2030PS2"
Option "XkbVariant" ",dvorak"
Option "XkbOptions" "eurosign:e, grp:lwin_toggle"
EndSection

Hi azp,
I can't say if that is a bug in X11 but i remember having similar problems on my workstation.
Here's how I've fixed it here, hope it helps.

Code:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d $ cat 20-radeon.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "RadeonHD 5650"
        Driver          "radeon"
        Option          "Monitor-LVDS"  "LVDS screen"
        Option          "Monitor-VGA-0" "VGA screen"
   Option      "AccelMethod"   "EXA"       #valid options are XAA and EXA. EXA is the newest acceleration method and it is the default.
EndSection

Code:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d $ cat 40-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "LVDS screen"
   Option      "PreferredMode" "1366x768"
   DisplaySize   359 202
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "VGA screen"
   Option      "LeftOf" "LVDS screen"
   Option      "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"
   DisplaySize   560 350
EndSection
Section   "Screen"
   Identifier   "Screen"
   Device      "RadeonHD 5650"
   Monitor      "LVDS screen"
   DefaultDepth   24
   SubSection   "Display"
      Modes   "1366x768"
      Modes   "1680x1050"
#      Virtual   3046 1050
   EndSubSection
EndSection
[/code]

Thanks! I've re-created a monitor settings file, as well as the radeon.conf file. Let's hope it works better next boot.

It worked like a charm! But I should probably send a bug upstream so the automatic settings based on Essid work correctly.
