This is regarding a Canonical-supplied Toshiba Tecra M2 for Laptop Testing.

The Tecra M2 uses Fn+F5 to switch to an external display and toggle between
states. The problem is when switching tty7 (GNOME).

Upon activating Fn+F5, external display produces screen garbage of tty7.
However, tty1 to tty6 is diplayed correctly. Switching back to the laptop LCD
cuts the tty7 display in half. The workaround to fix this is go to the other tty
and go back to tty7 and you'll get a full screen again. This was tested in an
external monitor and a Panasonic LCD Projector and produced the same results.
