Public bug reported: I am using open-source drivers for my ati card. If I connect an external monitor to my laptop (acer aspire 8942g) it connects and I can see a clear imagine, but if I try to turn off my laptops display via gnome- display-properties the external monitor continues working, but my laptops display starts to show my sequently changing colors on the full screen like on a display test. Sometimes I start my laptop and and the laptop display shows normal sometimes the resolution is low and sometimes it again shows these colors (always with my external monitor connected). I had ati proprietary drivers installed once and everything worked fine and I could turn my laptops display off, but not on the open source drivers. Also turning my laptops monitor with Fn+F6 does work, but after I press any key on the keyboard it turns on again.
