I don't know if it matters, but I'm using the analog (HDDB-15)
interface, and not the digital interface.

If the digital interface was being used, there is a possibility the
monitor may be controlled by the video card, kind of like a HDMI cable
can support between a TV and a home theater.

I'll have to reconfigure my xorg.conf someday when I need to reboot.
