Well, absent an external monitor with which to verify, I can't be sure this
is fixing the problem. Cycling through repeated Fn+F7 keypresses with nothing
connected to the display output causes the display to be on the screen two out
of every three presses, and black the third -- exactly what it should be. When
there was a monitor attached, all three were on the screen, and none of them shared
with the monitor.
Probably unrelated: when cycling through, when the display comes back to the
screen after going solely to the output port, it's vertically elongated by about
1/3. That is, the circular Red Hat logo is an oval about 1.3 times as tall as
it is wide. It stays this way through repeated cyclings, even after login;
it appears to be cleared when the session/server is reset (such as by logging
out and going back to the login screen).
