What is there to explain these days?  xorg does pretty good 
autodetection, with modern hardware, and most of the people that I know

xorg do things on its own.

SHH!!!  Don't tell my laptop, it does not know that it is not supposed 
to do that.

Not a problem with the laptop.  Working with projectors with standard 
resolutions has not been a problem for my Thinkpad & SLED 10.
