Does it work ok if you boot up without the external display connected and then connect and enable the secondary display after you've logged in? I have a similar issue here; I think it's an issue with rhgb and starting X. If I boot with an external display, the entire plymouth load sequence works fine, but then when X starts the external display goes blank and the internal display hangs on the plymouth screen. On a related note, if I close the lid and turn off the LVDS output, gpm never blanks the external monitor. I have to manually force dpms with xset. >>> >>> -- Pasi >>> >> >> It's better to open bug when you face issue rather than mail, as it's >> harder to track information in mail thread than in a bug.

Do we really want to report disconnected when the lid is closed? The monitor is still connected. Considering how unreliable lid events are I don't think that makes sense. We probably actually want dpms off, but connected which is more of a policy thing and should be handled by userspace.
