Dear developers,

I've been directed here by Stephan Graber, and Joseph Salisbury. Stephan 
has helped me through my first kernel patch, and I am following along 
with the steps he took pertaining to the following bug: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/544671

I am working on a bug located here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/907055 and have 
already submitted a patch. Mr Salisbury recommended I contact the 
upstream developers in order to have them work this in to the next 
release, so here I am.

I have some Intel 945GM videocard-based thin clients which report LVDS 
output as active, even though these thin clients do not have a monitor 
attached. This is causing the clients to boot in dual-head mode, with 
one monitor missing.

Thanks everyone for your time.

The bug above has the patch listed in there, but I will include it again 
below:
