I used current proprietary Nvidia driver with Ubuntu, on Debian I'm
using the FLOSS nv driver. After startup the menu of my CTR monitor
didn't work. When I turned the monitor off and on again, the monitor's
menu and settings could be used. I don't know if it's possible to do
something similar as turning off/on a monitor, for a display for the
laptop, but it seems to be the same issue, the proprietary driver seems
to disable something.
