BTW, If I use a DVI-to-VGA adapter, and run a vga cable to the monitor, then one output port shows fine pink& black vertical bars; the other port shows all black (and the monitor thinks the all-black screen does have valid video out, at 1600x1200) (the pink-bars vga out is also 1600x1200). By contrast, running a DVI cable simply results in the monitor complaining: "no signal". Yes, I have tried restarting Xserver before & after the cable switches.
