My laptop doesn't have a DVI port.

I would like Xrandr to print that both TV and TMDS-1 are disconnected
even if they don't exist. This might seem illogical however it would
help greatly the app I'm developing. The app I'm talking about is URandR:
https://launchpad.net/urandr

URandR parses the output of XRandR so as to get all the details of the
displays. It's written in Python and GTK and doesn't use C. I know it's
not the best way to use RandR but it works great on my Intel card.

This is why I wanted to see both TV and TMDS-1 as if they were
disconnected even if such ports do not exist.

Maybe not showing them at all makes more sense and I should modify
URandr accordingly.
