Using a docking bay and the lid closed, after eCS boots, the external
monitor is black (which is different than no signal - which my monitor
tells me about).  When I open the lid, I get a display on the monitor.
When I close the lid, the monitor goes black.

When I do get a display, it is a subset of full screen (which can be panned).
