Confirmed for Karmic 9.10 on an ASUS EEE PC 1000h with Intel GMA 950.

Happens exactly as described (both screens turn black with mousepointer frozen near in-between) when either pressing Fn+F8 shortcut combo or opening Preferences > Display.

Only seems to happen, when trying to ACTIVATE the external screen. It doesn't seem to affect deactivating it.
Only seems to happen, when the external screen hasn't been plugged in on boot (not resume!), too, though.
