dmesg output with drm debug information

Encountered a strange problem with Radeon HD 6250 (or HD 6310) on a Fujitsu
D3003-S1x mainboard. Occurs with every tested linux distribution and older and
newer kernels. 

Problem occurs only when a monitor is attached via VGA to the DVI port. If the
monitor is attached via DVI then the problem does not occur.

Problem is that
- Monitor is flickering sporadically 
- Monitor resolution is fixed to 1024x768 instead of higher resolutions that
are possible
- xrandr shows 2 monitors while just one monitor is attached

Tried to debug this with kernel parameter drm.debug=14 (dmesg log is attached)
and found the following messages that would explain the flickering screen.

[    4.098364] [drm:radeon_connector_analog_encoder_conflict_solve] 1:

The problem is still to find the root cause that leads to the issue of having
"conflicting encoders". Any idea what could cause this behaviour?
