Ok. actually this is not so simple. Yes, LVDS:d makes a difference. Namely, it enables monitor connected to VGA-0 to function. But once I plug in a digital monitor (DVI-0), screen goes blank when loading the module again, and this time, it does not matter whenever I specify any video= options (trying to disable any combinations of listed adaptors), screen is always blank. So basically the thing is still unusable. Because d-sub connection isn't stable (picture "trembles" depending on the cable and environment conditions), while digital option does not work. In bios, there's an option to ENable LVDS (it is disabled by default) and once enabled, to make it primary or secondary (with either automatically or manually choosen secondary/primary, being d-sub or dvi). When I enable LVDS with any other monitor in bios, the thing does not work again, the same way (screen goes blank once the module is loaded), but now d-sub/vga monitor does not work too. Ouf of curiocity I tried to run windows7 on this machine. Apparently it works with dvi monitor just fine and supports configuration with 2 monitors. Maybe they have some quirks in the drivers, I dunno...
