Neither of them detects any EDID.
At home, sid (1:6.6.193-3) still defaults to a sane mode driving the
"right" output (DVI) by default. I guess this is because of "UseFBDev".
However, experimental (1:6.7.192-4) does not produce any valid mode by
default. Even specifying
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
does not make it show anything. According to the log, it's trying to
drive the DVI, and it (correctly, AFAICT) reports that the two other
ports don't have a connection. Also, in experimental, the section
showing the possible and chosen video modes is missing from the log.
Find attached the log for 1:6.6.193-3 and 1:6.7.192-4, the latter being
incomplete since it stops with 100% CPU at that point, and needs a kill
-9...
What else do you need as information? What do you want me to try?
Thanks, and cheers
Michel
