I tried to fix this by implement LVDS detection method based on lid status, so when lid is closed you get a free pipe to output as LVDS is disabled, and open lid with randr you can turn on it again. But unfortunely the method we tried (acpi lid object, VBios software flag) doesn't work reliable on all machines, due to broken acpi bios or unknown reason. So I think we need some trade-off here to only enable the detection on more trusted new chipsets. -- Open Source Technology Center, Intel ltd. $gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4D781827
