Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After KMS was enabled by default my display setup was lost. With xrandr i found what instead of HDMI-1 and HDMI-2 i have DVI1 and DVI2.

Each time i switch between kms and nonkms boot it switch the names.
so to setup my display on nonKMS boot i use:
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --output HDMI-2 --mode 1280x1024 --left-of HDMI-1
and with KMS:
xrandr --output DVI1 --mode 1920x1080 --output DVI2 --mode 1280x1024 --left-of DVI1

I think it should be fixed for compatibility reasons.
