Otherwise it simply stays dark. Curiously the external monitor is recognized correctly even with kernel modesetting - and it can be configured comfortably under KDE. However it simply stays dark no matter what you do. This is not only to be observed with Xorg but also the same for the text consoles vt01-vt05 (ext. monitor also dark here). However as soon as you boot with nomodeset, the text consoles use both monitors in clone mode and there is no problem with Xorg. (During kernel initialization there are always both monitors up no matter whether you use nomodeset). Tested with both kernels(2.6.34-12.1 & -9.3) of RC1 and RC2. For both it is utterly the same play (tested extensively).
