Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
When I update using the restricted manager the NVIDIA driver that it
installs defaults to the external monitor rather than the laptop's main
screen. This means that the first boot up after installing shows a blank
screen until I CTRL ALT F2 and change the xorg.conf file manually.
