Public bug reported:
I cannot get the VGA output jack to work with my Toshiba laptop:
* if booted with nothing attached to the jack, the magic key combination
that's supposed to switch between sending the display to the built-in
LCD panel and sending it to the VGA port does nothing at all.
* if booted with a monitor attached to the jack, both the monitor and
the LCD panel show the boot sequence up to the point where X starts up;
then both go blank, and nothing - not the magic keystroke, not
unplugging the cable, not switching to a text console, not blindly
forcing a shutdown - will bring either back again until the next boot.
(That is, if I blindly force a restart, I don't see the shutdown splash
screen at all, but then I do get a boot screen again.)
The video chip is an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M; I am using the free (Xorg)
drivers, not fglrx. I'll attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log to this bug.
Please see #64931 for lshal and lspci -v, #64927 for dmesg. Yeah, I'm
having a lot of driver issues with this laptop.
