"1. Plug in an external 1280x1024 LCD monitor to my laptop's VGA output 2. Open gnome-display-properties 3. Click on the new (deactivated) screen
What should happen: The resolution dropdown should automatically select 1280x1024.
What actually happens: The resolution dropdown automatically selects 1600x1024.
Extra information:
Here's what 'xrandr' prints:
1280x1024 75.0 + 75.0 60.0 60.0 1600x1024 60.2 1400x1050 60.0 1440x900 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1360x768 59.8 1152x864 75.0 75.0 75.0 70.0 60.0 1024x768 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 72.8 72.8 75.0 60.0 59.9 720x400 70.1
