That's the problem: when I add Option "Ignore" "True" to a "Monitor" section,
DVI or TV-out, X doesn't start anymore.
By the way, I had again my problem this morning after 30s from boot, while I
was starting firefox, before I could launch xrandr in a console. I recompiled
the driver after having reverted the relevant commit
(5db3afaa1fdb69d382ac769ef40191a4b964d28e) and another one as well (bug 13244)
and so far everything's good, but I've been using the new driver for just a
couple of hours.
