Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
With my IBM Thinkpad I used to have external monitors attached with the notebook lid closed. After upgrading from Debian Lenny to 10.04 and even now after further upgrading to 10.10 the option "IgnoreLidStatus" in xorg.conf is ignored or at least not recognized, because in Xorg.0.log it says:
RADEON(0): Option "IgnoreLidStatus" is not used
Immediately afterwards it says
RADEON(0): Option "Bla" is not used
because I inserted a nonsense option named "Bla" for testing purposes. Thus it reacts the same way to a documented option as it does with a nonsense option. That shouldn't happen I guess.

I forgot to mention the consequence of all this.
I am not able to disable LVDS (internal display), even when lid is closed. Thus I have XGA resolution when booting up at home with a big screen externally attached, because that's what the internal screen has. It is very annoying watching scaled up XGA on 21 inches.
