Back to this..

so "/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state" seems to work properly on my laptop,
but is there a way to monitor the state of the drm/kms outputs from /proc, /sys or from somewhere? 

I'd like to see the state before X is started, and verify what happens when GDM is started etc.. 
(ie. if outputs are enabled/active or not).
