Sorry, how to find the panel size?  The resolution of the laptop screen
is 1280x854.

snoopy:~$ grep -i panel /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) RADEON(0): Existing panel PLL dividers will be used.
(WW) RADEON(0): Panel size 1280x854 is derived, this may not be correct.
If not, use PanelSize option to overwrite this setting
(EE) RADEON(0): Panel size is not correctly detected.
Please try to use PanelSize option for correct settings.
(II) RADEON(0): Panel infos found from DDC detailed: 1280x854
(II) RADEON(0): Panel infos found from DDC VESA/EDID: 1280x1024

However, it prints VGA-0...

Note: I have just upgraded xbase-clients and xutils to 1:7.3~rc1, the
test from my previous email was with xbase-clients 1:7.1.ds.3-1 and
xutils 1:7.2.ds2-2.  I redid the steps from my previous email, the same 
output is shown except that I have some information about S-video:
