So, the following happens:

a) Started without external monitors: Everything ok, mir runs

b) Started with only one monitor:
 - If I start with a monitor plugged in the hdmi port everything ok, mir runs.
 - If I use the VGA port I can only see a mouse cursor (on both displays), also I can't move it. Switching to vt1 and back produces a dialog stating that I'm running in failsafe mode.

Same happens when I start without ext displays and I try to plug them in later. If I use the HDMI port the display gets detected properly. But if I plug a monitor in the VGA port the failsafe mode starts. Mir doesn't seem to remember my configuration, it tries to turn on the internal display on (backlight turns on) even if it is disabled when I plug in the second external monitor.

c) Starting with two ext monitors: Everything seems to be ok, but no mir.
