My hybrid (Z820) only provides EDID information when switched to
use intel graphics. Nvidia driver reports that no screens are attached.
I use the following in xorg.conf to force the driver to attach.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 9300M GS"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0,DFP-1"
Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "true"
Option "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
