Description of problem: After receiving kernel update 3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 on Jan 25 the built-in Intel graphics card does not enable the laptop monitor any more when an external monitor is connected during start-up. Note that I did not have this problem with any previous F16 kernel version, and on Jan 25 I did not update the Intel driver itself -- just the kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.17.0-4.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Use the above versions on an i5 M520 processor with integrated graphics. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the computer while external monitor is connected 2. 3. Actual results: X11 (KDE in my case) will come up on the external monitor while the laptop's built-in monitor remains black. Expected results: Both monitors should be enabled in dual-head mode (and they used to be until the kernel was updated). Additional info: I received an update for x11-intel today: xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.17.0-8 and a kernel update for kernel-3.2.2-1. Neither of them changed anything. The problem remains. I still do NOT have the problem if I boot on an older kernel version 3.1.9-1.
Please don't move this back to kernel: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage#Video_Subsystem_bugs
The problem is solved in kernel 3.2.3.
