Bug description:
On a Lanai (Inspiron 1420) system with the NVIDIA 8400M GS card (and
using the vesa driver), when an external monitor is connected to it,
pressing Fn+F8 does not display anything on the external monitor (when
doing so, the screen on the Lanai goes blank, as expected). Pressing
Fn+F8 a second time displays the screen back on the laptop's LCD.
I tried several monitors and also ran 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
to make sure the right horizontal/vertical frequencies were supported.
I only tried resolutions smaller than 1024x768.
