Intel driver + sgi 1600 sw

[Cyril Richard aka [ Sx ]]

Hello,

I reply to myself, just to tell you that i found a quick hack to my problem :

The idea is to force the driver to start xorg by returning
XF86OutputStatusConnected instead of XF86OutputStatusDisconnected in
the function which probe for a monitor. I've stolen the idea here
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14611

So it works pretty well for me, but i guess it break all the xrandr stuff....

Is there a better way to solve this issue ?
