That makes it easier, but I'd like to not have to do it at all...
Authored by: BrunoUsesBBEdit on Feb 13, '03 08:01:17AM

Not to whine... because all my PC using co-workers think it is so amazing that I can have a secondary display on a laptop, and especially run it at 1600x1200. I'm greatful really, but I have to detect displays twice before it notices the correct monitor. He's how it goes:
1. Laptop is closed sleeping when I bring it to the office in the morning.
2. Plug in every cord (except the USB)
3. Open the lid, and the second monitor (CRT) comes on, but is very low res, and has the OSX default background. My dock & Apple bar are also still on the LCD, And the display "Arrangement" is wrong.
4. Detect displays. The CRT becomes a little higher res, and the arrangement gets closer to being right.
5. Detect displays. The CRT is model name is right, and my preferences are correct. (1600x1200, Arrangement, Apple Bar, Dock, and Desktop Background)

I just wish it could get it right the first time.
