I use an external monitor plugged into the display port of my T400s. When
the laptop lid is closed, I have two issues, which might be related to each
other.
1. Power management doesn't seem to be working with the external monitor.
It never sleeps and the screen saver never activates.
2. Opening the laptop lid with the external monitor plugged in instantly
mirrors the display on both screens, resulting in a lowest common
denominator resolution. During the times I simply want to open up the laptop
lid so I can make a video call on Skype, this is a bit of a pain.
In brief, is there some way I can restore some sanity? :) If not, to be
honest I have no idea where I should be filing a bug report.
I'm using a stock install of Lucid 64 bit.
