I was able to update the BIOS (1.31 now) and also updated Ubuntu to 15.04.
The issue is still there and here is the output from the request command. (sudo
dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date)
L71 Ver. 01.31
03/24/2015
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Status:
I can consistently revive the second display by unplugging it, going
to stand by, resuming the laptop, and finally plugging the display
again. It works and I can switch between different modes even through
setting, but at some point if I open Displays settings it gets disabled
as described above.
Seems to be working in 14.10.
At least the drivers install (both fglrx and fglrx-update) and I can login.
Overall open source drivers seem to work a bit better except for 3D stuff.

Public bug reported:
The first time a secondary display/projector is connected to my laptop,
it is detected and works in mirrored mode. However, once I open System
Settings Displays, the seconday display gets disabled. Loging out and
rebooting doesn't solve the problem. At least not right away.
Public bug reported:
After installation Ubuntu boots with blank screen and blinking cursor. I
reported the bug after uninstalling the drivers.
