** Description changed:

  Curently using Ubuntu Karmic amd64, but preparing to upgrade to Lucid
  shortly.
  
  When connecting an external monitor to the analogue VGA port on the
  laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z) or the replicated port on the docking
  station, the Nvidia driver adds a warning to the Xorg log:
  
  (WW) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: Error: Unable to find the DOS (Enable/Disable output
  (WW) NVIDIA(0):     switching) file path under /proc/acpi/video. The NVIDIA X
  (WW) NVIDIA(0):     driver will not be able to respond to ACPI display change
  (WW) NVIDIA(0):     hotkey events.
  
  I noticed bug #339558 reported the same for the 180 driver but the
  original reporter never followed up.
