Note, the version 0.93.0-git-20100819-1157-1 does not do the auto-restart for me. I change my display with this command: xrandr --output CRT1 --auto --left-of LVDS xrandr --dpi 96 (the dpi command is because sometimes i bring my laptop out of suspend/hibernate and for some reason all of X's fonts are tiny)
