Bug Description

In Intrepid my external display turns black for a second every 8 seconds and Xorg.0.log shows a repeating entry in Xorg.0.log.

- My notebook is a Fujitsu Siemens E8020D with intel graphics and Fujitsu Siemens external display.
- With Hadry this did not happen.
- I'm using Kubuntu.
- I'm also not able to use the functionkey Fn + F10 to switch between active displays.
