[Impact]

xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.904 adds support for virtual displays that
can be used to clone to discrete outputs. The tool to do this is
included with the xserver-xorg-video-intel source (with not-so-great man
page and all), but the binary is currently not shipped by Ubuntu trusty,
despite being built. It is shipped in utopic and later.

The tool will allocate a virtual output for the specified outputs on a
different X server (or for all outputs with the -a parameter). It will
also copy over resolution information etc from xrandr. You can then use
your desktop environment's display tool to configure these external
displays the way you would normally do in a non-hybrid situation.

Since the trusty release is LTS, this bug qualifies for SRU status "to
enable new hardware," or rather, newly supported at the time of the
trusty release.

[Test Case]

1) Install the package.
2) Attempt to execute /usr/bin/intel-virtual-output in a shell.

[Regression Potential]

Absolutely none.

[Other Info]

The intel-gpu-tools package is the only reverse dependency, and that
package has no reverse dependencies in turn.
