Sony VAIO freezing when connecting/disconnecting from external monitor (fixed)

For the past couple of weeks, my Sony VAIO (VGN-SR35G) would freeze everytime I would connect or disconnect an external monitor or projector.  I was originally on Linux Mint Gloria, then I tried Ubuntu Jaunty, and even tried upgrading to Karmic Alpha 4.  Same thing would happen.

I finally found the fix here.  Just add the line to the "kernel" entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst.   See mine below as an example, the part I added was in bold:

## ## End Default Options ##
title           Linux Mint 7 Gloria, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet
