PROBLEM - When installing UBUNTU Natty on my friends Laptop with a HDMI cable attached to both TV and Laptop both screens echo each other BUT when reboot has taken place nothing is displayed on the external screen.

Another user has reported the same problem so far !

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764389&highlight=hdmi -> Gives a clearer description of what we are both experiencing

The UBUNTU/Natty install drives both screens but the first reboot does not ?

Any ideas anyone
