It appears that you are seeing false detection of a VGA connector.
This feature was added during the OpenChrome DDX Version 0.7 development cycle,
but it is proving to be less than reliable with some models, particularly newer
single chip Chrome IGP (i.e., CX700 / VX700, VX800, VX855, and VX900)
In practice, it affects several models other than the single chip Chrome IGP.
I have observed false detection with Neoware m100 
I was thinking of disabling the code, and only use I2C bus based detection for
a VGA connector.
The only drawback to this is that it will not be able to support a VGA
connector with its I2C being broken (it happens with some people) or a really,
really old VGA monitor without I2C bus support (i.e., from late '80s to early
'90s).
In the interest of making the device driver work for more users, I will take
out the VGA connector detection code.
