OK, just tried the latest version from git
(21ed435398e4a398dd8a0a5d7c1d4cc45e916332)

And it's all working fine now, DVI-0 is detected as disconnected and no
weird screen size stuff, e.g xscreensaver will use the whole screen
without fiddling with xrandr first.

$ xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 1200
VGA-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm
   1440x900       59.9*+
   1280x1024      75.0     59.9  
   1280x960       59.9  
   1152x864       74.8  
   1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0  
   832x624        74.6  
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2  
   640x480        75.0     72.8     66.7     60.0  
   720x400        70.1  
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


So something got fixed between .196 and now.

Good work!

Cheers,

Andrew
