IIRC, the problem with your hardware is that the LVDS chipset is not
supported. So the internal laptop panel cannot work. But the other parts
of the hardware, including what drives the external monitor, may be
properly managed by the driver.

I am updating the URL of the relevant upstream bug since the other one
have been marked as fixed.
