xrandr output http://pastebin.com/z9G4n1Sp

This is what I use to initialize the two monitors when X starts

  xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --auto
--right-of LVDS1

And it has no effect as the monitor connected to receives no signal (it
goes to sleep)

Also, as I mentioned before I don't see the output during the boot
either so I assume this is not an X thing.
Maybe 3.5 has some modules turned off by default? or this is a bug. I
couldn't diagnose it properly.

Thanks.
