I just connect it and cold boot with Windows, and the resolution looks fine. I forgot to mention, under Fedora, it is also difficult to get the original resolution back afterwards. The GUI display tool detects neither my screen type nor the supported resolutions. When I try to set it manually - either through the config tool or by editing the config file - and then log out and in, most often my changes are reverted. After a lot of fiddling and logging in and out, I eventually would get my original resolution back, without understanding why it worked now and not earlier. Right now, the display tool says 1400x1050, millions of colors, with unknown monitor type and a nVidia Corp G72M [Quadro NVS 110M, GeForce GO 7300].
