When xorg starts up using xrandr to support dual monitors (in this case,=20
a laptop panel and an external monitor), it may start with an incorrect=20
mode on the laptop panel.
In order to specify a new startup mode, the "PreferredMode" setting can=20
be added to xorg.conf.  However, this is ignored due to an acknowledged=20
xorg bug. (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D10625)

Included in the above bug report is a patch by Keith Packard that fixes=20
the problem.  I have modified it to apply cleanly against=20
xorg-server-1.4_2,1, and it is attached to this email.  I am humbly=20
requesting that it be included in the set of FreeBSD patches applied to=20
the port.

Cheers,
Kevin Dorne
