Really?  This is interesting.  I'm relying on this behavior because the 
display here is otherwise not detected.  However in my case I'm also 
specifying timing info.  Oh wait, that could be it.  I think the logic 
disables the head if it can't determine a usable mode.  So you need a 
patch AND you need the video=LVDS-1 option setting to turn it on.
