Description of problem: I have a ViewSonix VP171b attached as an external monitor to my Acer Aspire 5315 laptop (Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller). Its native resolution is 1280 x 800. However, while the XFDrake screen resolution settings don't allow me to pick a higher resolution than the laptop's monitor, 1280x1024 (as well as picking the monitor from teh Vendor list).

I just discovered that this is actually a bug with LXQT, which places the menu bar at the bottom of the 1280x800 laptop screen, not at the bottom of the external monitor screen which is 1280x1024. Switching to LXDE "solves" this problem, so I'll go with LXDE for now. I don't have other DEs installed on this laptop. I'm not certain what part of LXQT this should be filed against,s o any guidance would be appreciated. But this particular bug can be closed against ldetect-lst.
It would probably be worth reporting upstream to LXQt if it's specific to this DE then.

How did you configure the primary monitor ? Did you use lxqt-config-monitor ? FWIW, there are already upstream bugreports about this: https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/239 https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/520 https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/502 Nothing we can do about this downstream.
I used MCC to configure it. Everything seems to work OK in LXDE. I'm not that familiar with LXQT; just trying it out with this release. I have reported it upstream and have already sent some additional information they requested.
You cannot configure primary vs. secondary monitor with MCC, this belongs to the desktop. If you report something upstream, please always provide back a link to that report so the maintainer can follow up. Seems to be this one: https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/650#issuecomment-104785827 where you mentioned that you disabled the secondary display ... which is not a fix.

Closing this as invalid, as the OP already workarounded it and we cannot do anything here until multi-monitor support is improved upstream, which may only be after 1.0.0. He also mentioned the initally reported bug against monitor detection can be closed against ldetect-lst.
