Bug#694155: nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64: Only native resolution on DFP available with recent NVidia driver version

[Roberto Di Cosmo]

Package: nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64
Version: 304.60-1
Severity: important


After upgrading to the 3xx version of the NVidia driver, 
I only get native resolution for the internal display
on my laptop, which was not the case before.

This is particularly annoying, as it is no longer
possible to use the laptop in "clone" mode when
giving a presentation.
