Bug#589921: /usr/bin/xrandr: should disable disconnected output to get a crtc

[Michal Suchanek <michal.suchanek@ruk.cuni.cz>]

Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.5+1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/xrandr


When I try to enable an output and both crtcs are in use I get

xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA-0

However, when an output is disconnected and disabling it would free up the
required crtc I would expect xrandr to do that.

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1200 x 1600, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
