More people hits this:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34327
(seems always GM45 gpu in these reports)

archlinux people also noticed that xrandr reports VGA1 as connected (while in 
reality nothing is connected to VGA1)

[arekm at t400 ~]$ more xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 32767 x 32767

[arekm at t400 ~]$ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900
warning: output VGA not found; ignoring


Normally this looks like:
[arekm at t400 ~]$ more xrandr
