External monitor is not working when it's plugged in during boot time

[Tamas Somlyai]

OS Version: Breezy Preview release, upgraded on 2005.09.19
Machine: Dell Latitude D810

When my external CRT monitor is plugged in during the whole boot process, the
laptop's display won't turn on and the external screen turns on only at the GDM
login screen. At this when I try to switch with the CRT/LCD button (Fn+F8), the
external monitor's screen freezes and nothing happens with the laptop screen.
However, I can restart X with ctrl+alt+bckspace to plug out the external screen
and use the laptop. When I boot up the machine with the external CRT unplugged,
and I only plug in when I'm already logged in to Gnome desktop, the external
screen mirrors and both the LCD and the external is turned on, switching with
the dedicated CRT/LCD button has no effect.

I forgot to mention that the videocard is ATI Mobility Radeon X300 (64MB RAM,
PCI Express) and I'm using the driver "ati" not the proprietary fglrx.

Your bug lacks information we would need to investigate further. We
are now going to close the bug - please reopen if you have more
information at hand.

Sorry about that last post, as I seem to have found a middle click bug on my mouse ;)
