I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop connected to two Dell monitors through a Dell docking station. The laptop is positioned below the two monitors, centered. I mimic this layout in the Screen Resolution window, and hit Apply. The settings are correct for about 5 seconds, and then it all reverts back to the default (not what I want). Curiously, this time seems to be about equivalent to the time it normally gives you to hit "Keep Changes", but I never see that window (thinking that might be the issue). Any suggestions?

I solved the issue for the moment by bringing the resolution of the external monitors down to 1680x1050 (laptop is at 1920x1080), but it would be nice to have 1920x1080 on all screens (which they are capable of).
