Bug#613614: libdrm-intel1: Intel Arrandale: xrandr query enables a disabled eDP

[Yan Li <yanli@gnome.org>]

Package: libdrm-intel1
Version: 2.4.23-2
Severity: important

I'm using an HP EliteBook 2540p laptop, which contains Intel Arrandale
graphics module. I use this laptop with an external monitor, which is
my major display output and I always shutdown the internal eDP port by
running on system start:
xrandr --output eDP1 --off

However, after that, if I run xrandr again, the eDP1 port will be
inadvertently re-enabled, and this ruins my desktop topology since
some windows will be randomly thrown over to the eDP1 display that I
don't use. The most annoying thing is gnome-screensaver seems invoking
xrandr on its every start, perhaps intending to check the monitor
settings, and enables the eDP1 port -- so that my monitor topology
changes like crazy whenever gnome-screensaver kicks in.

Here's my xrandr output:
$ xrandr

I have to use the 2.6.37 kernel from experimental or else the eDP port
just won't light up.
