they detected 3 ports because that's the default layout when the
driver doesn't know what connectors the card has.  I don't know what's
included in 6.7.192-4 exactly.

Is this still a problem when using the connectortable option or with
newer versions?

Right.  6.6.x didn't have that option.  there was no way to force the
connector layout.  fbdev sometimes did the right thing.  It's one of
the improvements in the new driver.
