Description of problem: I have just updated to latest RHEL6.2 compose from RHEL6.1 and now I am facing following issue. I am using docking station for my T500 with external display. My notebook is closed all the time, I am using just external display. Display configuration is set to "mirror" in Display config dialog. During the system start up all messages are printed on my external display (this is fine) but when gdm/xserver starts, is switches do dualhead and my primary display (with login dialog) is the closed (notebook) one. On my external display I can see just the background. When I open the lid and login to gnome display switches to mirror mode as configured and everything is fine. Till the next reboot. This forces me to open my netbook lid just because of login.
