F16: second monitor is not detected.

    Recently updated my laptop to Fedora 16.  Fedora 16 is not detecting
    my second, external, monitor.  The Monitor connects with an HDMI
    connector or a DVI connector through a USB docking station. 
    Connecting it either way does not make a difference.  What is
    strange is that during the boot process, the system will display the
    flash screen on the second monitor.

    
    There was a bug filed about this before Fedora 15 was released. 
    Does this bug still exist in Fedora 16?  Does anyone know if any
    work has been done on it?  The bug deals with the Intel Sandybridge
    chipset.  Note that the laptop screen works fine.

    
     OS:             Fedora 16 x86_64

      Kernel:        3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64

      Desktop:    Gnome 3.0.1

      System:      Dell XPS 15R (i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz x 4)

      Graphics:    Intel Sandybridge Mobile

      Memory:     8 GB
