I'm having an annoying problem when running an external monitor off my 12" PB. The monitor is a 19" Iiyama, and I like to run it at 1280 x 1024, 75 hz, and also make it the primary display. And once this is set up, it all works fine. However, most of the time the PB isn't connected to the external monitor, it's just occasionally that I connect it.

What's annoying is that sometimes when I connect it the system remembers how I want it all set up and just switches the displays (both of them) to the way I want it. But on other occasions when I connect the monitor I get mirrored displays with both of them set to 800 x 600.

Does anyone know why I should be experiencing this variable behaviour?

PS I'm running 10.2.8, and it's a Mk 1 12" PB, so it's using the analogue video out port and the 'video to VGA' connector supplied with the PB.
