Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
My inspiron 9300 has the following gfx card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]
When i connect an external monitor to the d-sub/vga connector, the monitor turns on, and says it's receiving the correct refresh rate, but the picture stays completely black. Pressing the crt/lcd button on the laptop causes some brief corruption on the monitor, but otherwise changes nothing.
I'm running edgy with updates till today (2007-01-06). This worked fine on dapper. The relevant packages are:
xserver-
linux-image-

I should note that the bios was upgraded from A04 to A05 since it was last tested on dapper. If that's likely to have made the difference, i can boot off of a dapper live cd to test (don't have one available right now).
