Confirmed in Gutsy with 2.6.22-7-generic kernel (Lenovo Thinkpad X60s).
Sometimes (like today) I forget about this bug and try to increase the
brightness in meetings etc (the brightness is set to decrase on battery power)
and the screen blanks. But plugging the laptop to an external monitor gives me
the display there and I am able to save my work and restart X.
This however only works after the following lines has been added to the section
"Device" in xorg.conf:
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
Option "Clone" "true"
Option "DevicePresence" "true"
(this clones your monitor output, great to hotplug a projector, for
instance)
