Fedora 10 Desktop Dell Latitude D830 - Screen Res utility

Hi

I have an issue with the Screen Resolution utility after running the Live CD on a Dell Latitude D830 Centrino 19". I installed the updates.

With the VGA extension plugged in to a Samsung SyncMaster 710v monitor I
am trying to extend the desktop rather than clone/mirror it. I can check
the 'mirror screens' option and the desktop is mirrored to Samsung however when I uncheck this option, choose apply, then close and reopen the utility the option is still checked. De-selecting mirror screens does not act as I assume it should and the initial screen resolution of the laptop is not restored. When I manually change the resolution back to 1680x1050 60Hz the task bars do not resize to fit the new screen res. properly, there is a gap top and bottom to the right where the bars end prematurely.

When I unplug the Samsung monitor the Mirror Screens option is unchecked.

In the top left hand corner of the screen there are still two colored
boxes one overlapping the other, I can't see the second clearly. The first indicator box says, 'laptop 15"' and I can just see the edge of a, '7"'. I assume these should not overlap. When trying to return to Laptop only display a second time the Samsung monitor is not detected/displayed in the Screen resolution utility display window.

The display controller is Intel GM965/GL960 rev 0c.
