KDE detecting new VGA monitor with HDMI

I have a Fedora 17 with Nvidia drivers using KDE.
Lately KDE has been showing a "Detected VGA monitor" but I am only using HDMI output (have 
been for quiet a while) nothing connected via VGA.
Any one know how to stop this or check why this is happening?

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1280 x 720, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-0 connected 1280x720+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1920x1080 50.0 + 59.9 24.0 30.0 30.0 25.0
1280x720 60.0* 59.9 50.0
720x576 50.0
640x480 59.9 59.9
480x576 50.0
480x480 59.9



I haven't yet made the changes but my /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the following:

[2421251.912] (--) NVIDIA(0): Valid display device(s) on GeForce GT 220 at PCI:1:0:0
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-1
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): DFP-0
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): SONY AVAMP (DFP-1) (connected)
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0: 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-1: 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
[2421251.913] (--) NVIDIA(0): DFP-0: 330.0 MHz maximum pixel clock

which seems to indicate its already outputing to my DFP-1 device , yes?
So why does X think I have a VGA-0 ?
