Description Stefan Becker 2007-11-30 02:04:38 UTC 
Testing output switching with radeonhd and the latest xrandr git

   commit 4bc84c331f4f0f0658ad1f6c0107e3e6af2a7911

revealed that using multiple --output on the command line works unreliable. E.g.

  xrandr --output DVI-D_1 --mode 1280x720 --output PANEL --off

does not always switch to the desired state but

  xrandr --output DVI-D_1 --mode 1280x720
  xrandr --output PANEL --off

always works correctly.

Added a test for that to the test case script. No fix yet, though.
