Title:
  second monitor turns off at login and stays off

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have a laptop with a Sandy Bridge chipset and an external monitor
  connected via mini-display port. When the lightdm login screen
  appears, the external monitor turns off and does not come back on
  after login. xrandr indicates that the monitor is on even though it
  clearly isn't.

  This is a known bug in the 3.0 kernel which has been fixed in the 3.1
  kernel, but the author wasn't specific about which one of several
  patches fixed the problem.

  The workaround is to either use xrandr or the display settings (which
  are harder to use in Oneiric since the display indicator was removed)
  to turn the monitor off and back on again.
