The system bios patches some of the video bios tables at boot up depending on
what panel is attached, etc.  In your case, it seems to be patching in the
wrong ddc line as it used to work correctly with the old panel. The line that
gets patched in happens to be the same line as VGA so xrandr reads the same
edid from both outputs.  It may be that your panel doesn't have an EDID, in
which case the ddc line should not be set and the panel info from the bios
tables should be used instead.  This is what happens when you don't have an
external monitor attached as ddc fails.

monitor-get-edid uses vbe so the info it generates is not necessarily from an
EDID.  It's generated by the video bios either from an real EDID or from panel
info in the bios tables.
