Title:
  [Natty-Beta2] Turning off laptop monitor turn off both monitors
  (laptop and external) on Vostro 3500

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Following instructions for testing external monitor on a laptop in http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/GFX/ExternalPrimary
  the resolutions of the external monitor are not detected properly. When I try to change them, also the Laptop Screen flickers and changes sizes (with "same image" option disabled, of course).
  Worse is when I try to set the external monitor to be primary (by turning off the laptop screen), both screens turn off.
  My steps:
  # Plugged external monitor
  # Go to Monitor in the Unity launcher.
  # Both screens are detected.
  # Tried different resolutions and more or less some of them worked (there where some resolutions external monitor isn't capable of).
  # Selected Laptop monitor and switched off, click apply.
  # Both monitors turned off and had to wait for the 30 second dialog to restore the last configuration. I was hoping the laptop screen to turn off and the external monitor be the primary.

  Then tried the switch screen har-button in this laptop (Fn + F8) but it triggers a "super" key instead (like the win logo).
  Afterwards Compiz crashed (Bug #766496).
