I'd guess that might cause the "nonsense" on LVDS to go away, but
that's not the real issue I'm hoping to have fixed -- do we have a
disconnect on what we consider to be the bug here?

To me, the real issue is that I can't make CRTC 0 drive monitors with
as high a resolution as CRTC 1 can (even though I could do this using
the same hardware under Feisty, so it's not a hardware problem). The
way I'm interpreting Anthony's original bug report, he also considers
the "trying to use CRTC 0 to drive monitor X on its maximum
(preferred) resolution just makes it go black" problem to be the main
issue; the fact that he sees some nonsense on LVDS while trying to set
up VGA-0 *and* DVI-0 with their preferred resolutions might be a clue
to where the problem originates, but isn't the real problem that he
wants fixed.

Anthony, am I interpreting you correctly? If not, should I create a
separate bug report for what I consider to be the main issue?
