What happens is that the image is switched onto the external CRT.  I'm
not sure if it is a bios bug from HP or something else, but I've seen
the same problem myself (on an OmniBook xe4500).  If you set up the
bios to autoselect display, instead of using the default of "both" it
will always end up on the external monitor.  (Both of which is quite
annoying, as I use the machine for demonstrations. :)

I guess this isn't much help, but if someone with a bit deeper
understanding of the radeons starts digging, just drop me a note if
there is something I should test.
