Hi,

I have a hp pavilion dv9000 series laptop with a nvidia graphics adapter.
One can toggle between the laptop screen and a connected monitor with the fn key + f4. Normally, there should be three modes of toggling:
1. display everything on both devices
2. display only on external device
3. display only on laptop screen

My problem now is, the first mode doesn't work anymore, both displays are just black. The other modes work fine.
Some information about my system:
- vanilla kernel 2.6.24.7
- nvidia-drivers/settings 170.70 (but the current stable versions don't work either)
- the toggling never needed twinview to be enabled in xorg.conf to work
- here my xorg.conf:
Code:
