1 Hi,
2
3 When Xorg starts on my laptop (or actually Gentoo boots and xdm is
4 started) the X startup procedure involves blanking, or actually powering
5 off my display completely. This has always been "standard procedure" to
6 me, and I've gotten used to it over the years.
7
8 However, in my current setup it actually "blinks" or powers off twice.
9 It might be the version of Xorg, or it might be this laptop. In any case
10 I didn't notice it till now.
11
12 I've Googled some to find out what's actually going on but to no avail.
13 Some says it's probing for external monitors and thus turns off VGA
14 which in turn causes my laptop display to power off(?).
15
16 Is there a way to disable this? I don't need probing for external
17 monitors on every X start. preferably I'd like to not have the monitor
18 turn of at all. But I would at least like to prevent it from doing it twice.

20 I'm on a Thinkpad x60s with this graphics controller:
21
22 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS,
23 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
24 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS,
25 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
