I use a Thinkpad T40 w/ 9.2.  At my desk, it is connected through a port 
replicator to an external monitor 1280x1024 and through a USB2 connector to 
an external keyboard.  The keyboard is further connected through it's own 
USB1.1 port to a mouse.  Works fine.

When I try to boot when not attached to the port replicator, X starts at the 
external monitor's resolution, not the internal 1024x768, so only the upper 
left 75% of the display is visible AND neither the internal trackpad or 
trackpoint pointing devices are active, so I have to run GUIs using keyboard 
commands only.

How do I get the system to detect the difference in states and activate the 
pointing devices and call the correct screen resoultion.  It did this in 9.1, 
but I never made any specific settings to do this.  (I'm less conerned about 
the screen since I know I can change that in  Mandrake Control Center.)

TIA
Paul
