Hi all,
I have had my Powerbook for 6 months now, and I'm incredibly happy, except for a single bug that annoys me from time to time.
Most of the time my Powerbook is in clamshell mode, connected to a 19" Lacie elctron19blueIV CRT monitor. All fine, except for the fact that, sometimes, usually after I have used the laptop screen (alone, or with the monitor attached), the screen resolution of the monitor changes from 1280x1024 to 1024x768.
The best had yet to come, though. This evening, when I woke up the computer, the screen resolution was 800x600, the dropdown menu with the refresh rates had disappeared (!!!), and the list of available resolutions was quite long, as it included the combinations of resolutions x refresh rates.

Is this normal? Has anyone any idea of what should I do to avoid this from happening?

Thanks,
Salva
