Hi,

thanks for your report.  This is caused by a quirk to ignore the lvds
output on a machine with the same device and subdevice pci ids as yours.
The quirk has subsequently been removed upstream, so we should probably
remove it from the Debian package as well.  I'll prepare an update.

Cheers,
Julien
