Well the number of broken connector tables is infinite ... my laptop does detect that a TV is connected even though there is no TV connector at all (one has to use a docking station to be able to connect one).
True TV outputs are known to be problematic, yes, but the TV in this case was connected by DVI, which is far less likely to be broken. In my experience, drivers usually detect monitors that are connected by D-SUB/DVI but powered off.
Both ;) ... but anyway cloning would be the right solution here, anaconda is limited to 800x600 anyway so there is no need for a multiscreen view.
I agree, but as I said, I already proposed this back in the F12 cycle and the anaconda developers considered it too messy to implement. By all means try again, if you like.
So, NOTABUG or CANTFIX then I guess.
My workaround for now is using 'vesa', which is acceptable for Anaconda. After install, I will have to setup my Xorg.conf, which most people do for dual-head anyways.
