[Bug 585258] [NEW] switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04

[Lucio Crusca]

Public bug reported:

I've just upgraded my 9.10 to 10.04. If I boot the latest 9.10 available
kernel (linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic), fn+F8 switches the vga output as
expected. If I boot linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic, fn+F8 does nothing
(in a gnome-terminal it prints a lowecase "p").

Other fn+F* combinations do work as expected.

I'm going to compile the latest vanilla kernel, I'll post the results
here as soon as they're available.
