virtual box turned off my monitor

so im running ubuntu 8.10 and virtual box.

i just tried to install xp pro and as it was finishing loading and saving the windows files, my screen went out on my laptop.

i hooked it up to a second display and realised everything still seems to be working fine. except my laptop display.

i was wondering if this is a common problem, somehow my driver got screwed up or instaling a second os switched my primary display ... ? is this something that's happened to anyone or did my laptop screen just die ?
