           Summary: NVEnterTV fails on hybrid cards
        QA Contact: xorg-team-go0+a7rfsptAfugRpC6u6w@public.gmane.org
          Severity: critical
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: zeng.shixin-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Driver/nouveau
           Product: xorg

Since on system with hybrid cards, the nvidia card might not be connecting to
the screen, so Xf86SetDisiredMode could fail, which results in a fatal error
for Xserver:
[ 91825.257] (II) NOUVEAU(G0): NVEnterVT is called.
[ 91825.258] 
Fatal server error:
[ 91825.258] EnterVT failed for gpu screen 0


The following dirty hack fixes the problem. We should check for the connected
screen before setting mode, but I don't know how to do that, since this is my
first time to look at nouveau code.
