Bug#777235: It is possible to produce output if ActiveDevice and Enable is forced
The root cause seems to be the inability to read an EDID off any monitor
(analogue or DVI).
Using Option Enable True in the Monitor section and setting the
ActiveDevice to VGA-1 allows to produce output.
However, because the EDID is not read, the driver bans most higher
resolutions with the rather clueless "monitor doesn't support reduced
blanking". Which it does. Similar malaise to the one which used to be
typical of the early Intel drivers.
Xv is still highly temperamental (same as in debian stable) - first boot
from cold it will not work. After a warm reboot it starts working.
Overall - just barely usable.
