Title:
  11.04: external monitor not working from laptop

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Upgraded to 11.04 My laptop won't redirect output to an external
  monitor or a projector via the Fn+F8 key combination.  This worked
  under 10.10   My laptop is a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop with a GeForce
  8400M GS display card installed.

  The Ubuntu Display control panel won't detect a second display when
  the "Detect monitors" button is clicked. It also can't detect the
  laptop's own display type and labels it as "Unknown". Using the Nvidia
  X Server control panel, I can see that the laptop's display is a
  Seiko/Epson panel and, when I click the "Detect displays" button I do
  get the second display (a flat panel monitor),but it is labelled:
  "CRT-0 disabled".

  I've activated the drivers in the "Additional drivers" panel twice and used Synaptic to run Nvidia-update (followed by a restart). I still have "This driver is activated but not currently in use" in the Additional Drivers control panel plus, in the header, "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system". I've regularly run all the system updates.
