Unfortunately these solutions do not work for me (on a G550). I tried
Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04 Beta2 with and without the patch.
Without the patch I always get the same picture on both screens. With
the patch (tried only 8.04 - 9.10, not 10.04 Beta2), my monitor at the
DVI port turns off (standby) and the monitor at the VGA port stays on
with a black screen. The system freezes I think, because I cannot do
anything, not even switch to a different console (CTRL+ALT+F1).

On the boot process I always have to include 'vga=0x31a' to kernel
parameters because otherwise the DVI port monitor shows out of sync
(even when I 'force' the correct settings in xorg.conf), and the VGA
port monitor stays off.

Any suggestions very welcome. Could it be that it works for some because
of different hardware (mainboard, RAM etc)?

(Right now I am stuck with openSUSE and mergedFB view which I really do
not like.)
