Post KDE upgrade, monitor mode no longer properly detected...

[chconnor]

Hi - 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. I have an external monitor in use. Since the settings are never saved properly through the GUI config, I have a .kde/Autostart/ script that sets the resolution/positions for me:

#!/bin/sh
if [ `xrandr | grep 'VGA-0 connected' | wc -l` -eq 1 ]; then
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 --pos 0x0
xrandr --output LVDS --primary --mode 1280x800 --below VGA-0
fi

But since the KDE update that just happened a day or two ago (4.6.2?) the 1280x1024 mode is no longer detected. My workaround is to do:

#!/bin/sh
if [ `xrandr | grep 'VGA-0 connected' | wc -l` -eq 1 ]; then
xrandr --newmode "1280x1024" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x1024
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 --pos 0x0
xrandr --output LVDS --primary --mode 1280x800 --below VGA-0
fi

(the mode line was created with the help of the command "cvt 1280 1024 60")

Any one else seeing this issue?
