I have a Dell Inspison 9100(laptop) with a Dell 2005FPW LCD. I was able to configure dual-display to work perfectly but unfortunately today i might have burned my laptop's screen. When i rebooted, the primary display became my LCD instead of the laptop's display which didn't turn on and once gdm came up, the laptop's lcd displayed some weird patterns . At this point I directly rebooted and my laptop's display been black since then. Even if i unplug the external monitor it stays black. i tried running windows on it with the same result. I am not sure if the display is just off or burned. I am not sure if this bug is similar to Bug#1620 My xserver version: xserver-xorg 6.8.1 Relevant section of my xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc.

The LCD was actually burned and the most unfortunate thing happened. Dell replaced my LCD and i changed my xorg file to use ATI's fglrx driver instead of the ATI driver and I also, thinking it's safer, commented our the following: Option "CRT2HSync" "30.0-83.0" Option "CRT2VRefresh" "56.0-75.0" Option "MetaModes" "1920x1200-1680x1050" But I managed to burn my LCD again.
I had the same problem with a mobility X600 ati card. The laptop is the acer TravelMate 4601LCi. The only difference is that I configured TV out. Now my laptop is at acer repair centre!
Wrong Product.
Reassign to owner of driver.
