I have an Inspiron 6400 running Ubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24-23-generic.

I'm having trouble getting simultaneous display on the laptop LCD
and a data project (VGA output).

With kernel 2.6.20-16-generic, the simultaneous display
works. Fn-F8 toggles between the following screen displays: LCD,
DataProjector, Both, Neither. i.e, its not perfect, but usable.

Similarly with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. Usable but not perfect.

All kernels after this are broken in the sense that there is
no simultaneous DataProjector/LCD display.
