Bug#474098: xserver-xorg-video-i810: No second head display on TMDS-1 even though display work during bootup
Brice,
I installed the xorg packages from unstable as you suggested.
Actually I had to purge the old ones first as there was a weird problem
with fonts (Display was fine but no chars showed anywhere)
Problem still exists.
Display switching between X and console also still broken, but that's another
bug :)
I suspect the sync loss message may be a red herring as it only starts
to show itself once I turn the second monitor off

I'll verify this behaviour tonight.
The driver in unstable is just that... I had problems when I killed the
Xserver to try other config file options. It hung the machine a couple of
times, and once, though the machine stayed up the display had a "white out"
that wouldn't go away (control was via an ssh session)
I had to power cycle the machine to fix it.
Is there any debug or extra logging I can switch on to get more info
on whats going on?
Cheers
Jan.
