Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

I upgraded my system from Maverick to Natty Beta. I take daily updates
every day.

Since then, When you boot the system, with the external monitor
attached, the external display flickers badly and the screen is
unreadable.  I hit <FN> - <F7> on my Thinkpad X201 to reset the display,
and then I see the login screen correctly, on both internal, and
external.

After I log in, the same thing happens, screen flikers and unreadable on
external monitor. I hit <FN> <F7> again, and I get the 800x1024 default
screen, which I then have to use 'Monitors' to increase the Resolution
to the mode I like on my external monitor.

This happens everytime I boot or login.

Regards, Stefan Stasik
