thats strange. the igfx driver controls very precisely what
output port it will configure. it seems very unlikely to
output on the external vga by accident.

there are two things. if you have monitor "auto", it will
get the edid information of all monitors and pick the one
which matches the precise screen resolution.

you can also specify a monitor name from vgadb. the monitor
itself can then have a lcd=1 attribute, or a display=X
attribute where X specifies the port:

	PortVGA	= 0,		/* adpa */
	PortLCD	= 1,		/* lvds */
	PortDPA	= 2,
	PortDPB	= 3,
	PortDPC	= 4,
	PortDPD	= 5,

i use "auto" for everything because the resolution of the external
vga monitor is different from the internal panel always differs
so this is unique for me.

aux/vga isnt responsible for setting up the mouse driver. thats
done by aux/mouse. unless you have issues with the hardware cursor
of course, in which case you configure it to not use the hardware
cursor in vgadb. (just leave out the hwgc=igfxhwgc attribute in
the ctlr section)

everything is setup from /rc/bin/screenrc when you normally boot
the system, todo it manually:

bind -b '#i' /dev
bind -b '#m' /dev

aux/vga ...
aux/mouse ps2
