I've been meaning to try my notebook in Windows to see if it has the same problem. I can only assume the Windows drivers from Intel actually know how to drive the external DB15 at a difference scan range.

Don't bother booting to windows. On my current DellD600 and several other similar models I've used, they can do different ranges on external/internal models at the same time (i.e. split screen/xinerama/whatever). The D400 cannot show the external with a different range if trying to use both monitors at the same time. It can succeed in a new range if you use it in "docked" mode.

I believe the D400 is an i855 GPU and the D600 is ATI Mobility Radeon 9000.
