Comment 6 for bug 459512

One other note worth mentioning - the ideal solution (mentioned in the other bug referenced above) is to probe the devices and see which ones have monitors attached. This would let us avoid setting the wrong card as primary.

This functionality is not available currently. As I understand it, the probing would need to be done by the kernel. Jesse has told me that this functionality has been implemented for -intel for KMS; I anticipate it will be available in Lucid's kernel. Presumably getting this for -ati/KMS should be feasible for Lucid as well.
