This was fixed when I booted my machine this morning.  I guess this
was interim problem due to me doing partial upgrades; after a full
dist-upgrade problem doesn't seem to happen.


$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1600 x 1200
DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768       60.0 +   60.0  
   1600x1200      59.9  
   1400x1050      60.0  
   1280x1024      59.9* 
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        60.0  
VGA-0 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1280x800       60.0  
   1280x768       60.0  
   1024x768       60.0  
   800x600        60.3  
   640x480        59.9  



My monitor is connected to DVI-0, and a projector (which is currently
turned off) is connected to VGA-0.


The remaining problem was that with GDM I can see the display, but
after logging into GNOME when ConnectorCable is not set, display goes
blank; and I think I now understand why.

I extract the most interesting part of the log.  My theory is that the
GNOME session tries to reconfigure xrandr such that it outputs to Port
0, which is 'DVI-0' when ConnectorCable is set, and 'VGA-0' when it's
not set, and because xrandr doesn't quite know when VGA-0 is connected
or not, GNOME is able to set VGA-0 as the only output.

Not quite sure if this is fixable.
