1- Plug a monitor into the VGA output
2- Press the monitor switching key (fn-F5)
Expected result:
- Display appears on external monitor, either mirrored or as additional desktop space.
Actual result:
- The external monitor is shown in the Monitors panel, and gets correctly identified (I see Acer 19" or Dell 22", tested with two different screens)
- However, the monitor itself reports "no signal", and displays nothing.
I went as far back as Lucid and the problem still persists, so at least it doesn't appear to be a regression.
