[ 18.191] (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 connected [ 18.191] (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 connected [ 18.191] (II) RADEON(0): Output S-video disconnected [ 18.191] (II) RADEON(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes [ 18.191] (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using initial mode 1920x1080 [ 18.191] (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 using initial mode 1920x1080
You can turn off the VGA port by disconnecting the monitor that's plugged into the VGA port or by issuing the following command: xrandr --output VGA-0 --off
