Oh, interesting.  So, this is a failure of our current SDVO code to
handle multiple SDVO outputs.  I haven't really decided how to handle
the multiple SDVO connections yet.  The messy part is that, as far as I
can tell:

- Each SDVO device may have 1 or 2 inputs from pipes, and 1 or 2
outputs.
- 1 input may map to 2 outputs for cloning.
- 2 inputs may map to 1 output in ganged mode (high-bandwidth modes).
- 1 pipe may be mappable to an input on 2 SDVO devices for cloning (not
sure).

Right now I don't have any suitable hardware for testing ganged mode, so
I don't want to start hacking on this particular mess until I can get
some.

I think you could get your hardware working by removing the
"i830_sdvo_init(pScrn, SDVOC);" line.
