    When my x200 is docked I output video to a 24" widescreen LCD and use a higher DPI in W7 so I can more easily read the fonts. (personalize -> font size)

    When my x200 is mobile, such a high dpi makes things too big on the x200's monitor and windows don't fit on the screen.

    The intel graphics software lets you select a resolution to use on the external monitor that is different from the x200's. Is there a way to automatically use a different DPI when connected to an external monitor versus the x200's monitor?
