Public bug reported: Seen on Dell Inspiron E1505 with integrated Intel graphics 945GM and using intel i810 driver. If you connect an external LCD/CRT monitor to the VGA port and cycle through all display modes using Fn+F8 , it works for the first few times and then the screen goes blank and only way to recover the system is to reboot it.
