+DRM drivers also add options to enable or disable outputs:

+'e' will force the display to be enabled, i.e. it will override the detection
+if a display is connected. 'D' will force the display to be enabled and use
+digital output. This is useful for outputs that have both analog and digital
+signals (e.g. HDMI and DVI-I). For other outputs it behaves like 'e'. If 'd'
