randr 1.0 are supported, but they only work with one output.  randr 1.0 did not
have the concept of multiple outputs.  if you run xrandr -s 1280x1024 what
should be the expected behavior with multiple outputs some of which may not
support 1280x1024.  for randr 1.0 compatibility one crtc and one output are
chosen by the driver as the compatibility output for randr 1.0 calls.  if you
want to be able to control multiple outputs use randr 1.2 calls.  DVI-0 is not
permanently dead, you just need to issue xrandr 1.2 calls to re-enable it.
