Local fix

Problem summary

  •  The intel driver will probe the secondary VGA
    port even there is no monitor attached to it on
    any POS machine with intel sandybridge chipset.
    Since there is no monitor attached to the
    secondary VGA port, the system video will fail.
    

Problem conclusion

  •  Do not enable the VGA2 port when there is no
    monitor attached to the secondary VGA port
    on any POS machine with intel sandybridge
    chipset.
