Well, it only has an external monitor - it only 'thinks' it has a
laptop display (it's not a laptop). I'm thinking since this chipset
was used in a lot of netbooks, it has that hardcoded somewhere at the
hardware level. I've checked the BIOS and see nowhere to turn off the
'laptop display'. In Xfce, if I go to Settings -> Display, it sees a
display called 'Laptop' which I turn off.
I'll report it upstream and see what happens.
