[Bug 1453353] [NEW] Erratic VGA device appears connected on Thinkpad T420s

 

Public bug reported:

Just updated to 3.13.0-52-generic kernel, the screen switches resolution
after every login. This is caused by a clone view mode that is enabled
by the fact that an "Unknown" display device is considered to be
connected to the VGA1 output, despite nothing is connected at all!
