But, if a monitor is connected but turned off, the monitor should be configured anyway. The EDID transmitting device inside the monitor is powered by the computer. As soon as X has started and the output is activated, xrandr can be used to set a specific resolution. It can not, however, activate an output on which no monitor is connected. Greets, Kiste
