Bug#908789: Bug never got a followup

This bug never got a followup, but I can name three circumstances I know of under which it still happens. 1. Almost guaranteed to not be the problem, but it should be documented somewhere: If you use an Atom-based "nettop" where the external display is the only one used, it might appear you
