Hi everyone,
would you mind putting something along the following into xf86-video-intel?
Thanks!

Deactivate unused CRTCs
Have intel_crtc_dpms actually do something and deactivate CRTCs
on demand. This allows the X-Server to actually deactivate all
unused CRTCs, avoiding the following bug scenario:
- boot system with only internal LVDS display
- start X
- attach external display
- use xrandr to turn off internal LVDS, and turn on external display
- switch to console
- switch back to X
- use xrandr to turn off external display, turn an internal LVDS
At this point X believes that internal LVDS is active, when in fact it is not
displaying any image. The root cause appears to be that X and kernel disagree
on CRTC states.
This problem is verifiable on some notebooks (e.g. ThinkPad T400) but not all.
I guess this is due to varying crtc selection logic.
