Public bug reported:

*** This is _NOT_ a Nvidia related problem, I am not using the Nvidia
with this Ubuntu setup. ***

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 in a Dell XPS Laptop wich comes both with a
Nvidia and an integrated Intel AGP.

I am using an external monitor connected through a mini DisplayPort
wired to the Integrated  Intel card.

It has been working since I installed Ubuntu 11.04 a month a go, today
the external monitor stopped responding:

- The external monitor reports no sync.
- System > Preferences > Monitors reports the external monitor as attached and 
operational.
- Print Screen includes the image of the external monitor.
- The laptop primary monitor works as expected.

After double checking the cables, connections and the external monitor I
booted back in the previous Kernel (I suppose yesterday I got an kernel
update, but not really sure) and the external monitor came back to life.
I did the test forth an back a couple times and the behavior was
consistent wverytime I switched Kernels.

The offending Kernel is 2.6.38-11-generic.

Last known good Kernel is 2.6.38-10-generic.

So far I am sticking to the 2.6.38-10-generic  Kernel while using an
external monitor attached to my laptop.

Following are my graphics device info:
