I have a question: is there any way to disable lvds and use vga as the primary, the sony phoenix bios has no options leaving me 60% blind with a cracked panel. I guess there might be a bit in nvram.

xrandr --output LVDS -off xrandr --auto
something like that (it may be LVDS-0 or LVDS-1 or something, just look at the output of plain 'xrandr'). To make it semi-permanent, make the change in gnome-display-properties; the layout you set in gnome-display-properties is saved across GNOME sessions as your user. To make it completely solid across all X sessions for all users, you can do it in xorg.conf , following the syntax documented here:

That reminds me, I am seeing xrandr settings not persist across suspend/resume - which component is that best filed against - kernel or xorg?

Start with X. In fact, in general, report KMS bugs against X, it's easier than trying to find them in the huge pile of kernel bugs.

OK, filed as BZ #525939. Seems related to BZ #520068 (reported against kernel).
