You're absolutely right, it's indeed connected via VGA.

So, I changed s/DFP/CRT/ and I got some encouraging results, but not a
complete success.

Now [for me] it looks like X sets up a first screen (LFP) to the correct
resolution, then it tries to set up a second screen (external VGA)  but
eventually fails with

(EE) I810(1): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth.

Then

(II) UnloadModule: "i810"

and tries to reset first screen and disables external VGA.


II) I810(0): Display plane A is enabled and connected to Pipe A.
(II) I810(0): Display plane B is disabled and connected to Pipe B.
(II) I810(0): Enabling plane A.
(II) I810(0): Display plane A is now enabled and connected to Pipe A.
(II) I810(0): Display plane B is now disabled and connected to Pipe B.

and it and looks OK by looking at the log, but I do not see any image,
just a backlighted black screen.

So, I attached config and full log.

Any ideas,
Konstantin

PS:  Is it appropriate to send messages with attachments to the list?
     Would it be better to place longs/configs to some accessible
     location and provide links in the msg instead?
