             Bug #: 49789

This issue is not reproducible with every external monitor, as far as I could
determine only projectors are concerned:

When I connect a monitor/projector to the VGA port of the Lenovo T400 and
perform "xrandr" or "cat /sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status", the external
monitor flickers (parts of the screen black out horizontally). Since I use a
script which performs these commands periodically to detect whether the monitor
is still connected, this is obviously very annoying.

Changing the power profile doesn't have any effect.
