<pre>Forgive me if this isn't really a bug; I've been trying very hard to understand
how `intel-virtual-output` should work/be used and I've yet to successfully
make it do anything.
Here's my process:
1. Start X
2. Ensure `xrandr --listproviders` contains both my video cards
3. Connect external monitor to dock (hardwired to the discrete GPU)
4. Call `intel-virtual-output`
At this point, the command simply exits without any output. I have tried
specifying the "source display" argument as :0 (or whatever my X display
happens to be); the command doesn't exit, but doesn't appear to do anything
else either. If I enable the VIRTUAL1 display, I just get an extended desktop I
can't access and the external monitor remains dark.
I am probably just using the tool incorrectly but since Google provided no
usage instructions and the manpage is rather spartan, I figured I'd give this a
shot.</pre>
