           Summary: Open nVidia driver can't switch from LCD panel to CRT on
                    Dell Inspiron Laptop
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/nVidia (open)
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jejb at steeleye.com


Hardware: Inspiron 8100, GeForce2 Go
Xorg version: xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13 (Latest xorg package from Fedora Core 3)

When trying to use the laptop Fn-F8 key to switch between LCD and CRT, the CRT
screen usually pulls up complete rubbish (the laptop screen stays showing the
correct X session).  For reference, this used to work with the XFree86 tree (and
the binary nVidia driver).  I haven't found a way to effect the switch; even
booting on CRT alone produces the VGA messages but corrupts the screen when X
starts.  This behaviour has been consistent since I installed FC3 on my laptop
three months ago.
