Subject: 6.1-rc: names of video outputs changed?

Hi!

I used to be able to do:

pavel@duo:~$     xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --primary
warning: output HDMI1 not found; ignoring
pavel@duo:~$     xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --below HDMI1
warning: output VGA1 not found; ignoring

...but now I have to do:

pavel@duo:~$     xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x1024 --below HDMI-1
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA-1
pavel@duo:~$     xrandr --output LVDS-1 --off
pavel@duo:~$     xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x1024 --below HDMI-1

Notice the change from HDMI1 to HDMI-1. I believe that's new in 6.1 or
so. Who did it and why? Hardware is thinkpad x220, and this breaks my
scripts :-(.

Best regards,
								Pavel
