Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Dell E6510 with an Intel Core i5 chip and with the Intel graphics (not
nvidia). According to the Dell website, the Intel chip is:  Intel
QM57/QS57 NB Gfx - Intel GMA HD

Vanilla install of Ubuntu 10.04 (I tried it with 32bit and 64bit
versions) with all patches applied (up to date as of posting).

Upon plugging in an external monitor using the VGA adapter and then going into System->Preferences->Monitors, I get a black 
screen and no mouse movements at all. System is completely hung - I cannot even SSH into the laptop. Even CTRL+ALT+BKSP doesn't kick me out of X. I'm forced to power off the laptop and restart.

System has latest A03 bios but it did the same thing with A01 and A01.1
bios revisions
