Yes, you may be right. I just think that it's remarkable that it's the
exact same display configuration that fails in (almost) the same way as
the bug description. All other display configurations I've tried works
fine, including mirror, dual and only internal.

What doesn't fit into the bug description is that I don't get the
timeout where the display is reverted to the previous configuration.
Maybe I'll try a newer kernel later.

@Chris: So you don't get the same kind of errors in syslog as I get when
you reproduce this bug?

Title:
  [Regression] gnome control centre does not allow you to disable the
  laptop screen while leaving an external DisplayPort connected screen
  working

Bug description:
  Lenovo T500 with displayport has a 1920x1200 monitor attached, I use
  the displayport in a similar way to a docking station in that I attach
  the monitor with a displayport to dvi cable, and then expect to be
  able to switch off the laptops internal display, only leaving the
  external monitor working.

  Screen detection works fine, mirrored screen works fine, but disabling
  the internal display and activating the external display just leads to
  the screen going black until the timeout has been reached, whereupon
  it reverts to its previous setting.

  This is a fully updated oneiric install
