As far I'm concerned, I also have a laptop and an external LCD with a
different resolution. I'd thought about a setting like yours but I
finally found out it wasn't really convenient (mainly because I did
not really make use of the laptop monitor). What I do now is simply
cloning the externel LCD to my laptop (thus some parts are not
displayed on the laptop) and when I go home, I just unplug the
externel monitor, use xrandr and restart ion (with ioncore.restart).
It works great.

OK, I have an nvidia card and I use the twinview extension to clone
the external display but I don't think this is actually needed. And
anyway, ion (3ds-20061223) works perfectly fine with it.

Cheers,

     Arnaud
