[Bug 607783] Re: [arrandale] VGA port not working on Dell Latitude E6510

[Geir Ove Myhr]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  I cannot hook up an external monitor or beamer to my Dell Latitude E6510 using the VGA port. When I open the "monitors" dialogue, the screen goes black if there is a VGA cable plugged in. Only alt-sysrq-REISUB works to restart the computer. 
  The chip is an intel one (intel core i5), not nvidia. 
  I tried the xorg-edgers PPA to see if newer packages fix the problem, but that is not the case.
+ 
+ Using netconsole, these messages are shown on the console when the monitor goes black:
+ [ 117.623294] dell-wmi: Received unknown WMI event (0x11)
+ [ 117.686469] dell-wmi: Received unknown WMI event (0x11)
