Bug Description

The laptop panel shows static after connecting an external monitor to the vga port. Upstream commit cb0e093162d7b6589c2217a00e2abfef686b32d6 from 3.1 fixes that. Tested on both 2.6.38 and 3.0.0.

SRU justification:

Impact: When plugging in an external display, an incorrect value used for some internal calculation, causes the display to get corrupted.

Fix: A small patch cherry-picked from upstream corrects the value used. Change has been discussed with the upstream maintainer and should make it into upstream 3.0.y.

Testcase: Plug in an external display on affected hardware and verify the screen.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Oneiric in -proposed solves the problem (3.0.0-14.23). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-oneiric' to 'verification-done-oneiric'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
