Indeed, let me do another test and eventually I'll merge the bug into
the existing one (I seem to have overlooked that one while scanning the
buglist)

Ok.

I guess I wasn't clear: I don't get X11 to start when I use any of the
monitor-Options. Not even if I just include the one for disabling
Tv-Out. And when I start without them, xrandr _always_ just complains
about the VGA-0 being connected but no modes being available, no matter
what xrandr call I use (including xrandr --output S-video --off).
