Here is a Xorg.0.log with debug on my _working_ DVI out setup,
to compare with the Kevin's (broken DVI) one.

At the end of the day, the BIOS version seems unrelated to the pb.
Kevin (and someone else on the Ubuntu forums) upgraded to the same
version than me, but that didn't fixed the problem. So I don't know
what I changed to get the DVI out working. Very sorry.

Note that even if DVI is working here, the display with DVI isn't
very good : everything is blurry (esp. the fonts), and the colors
pinky (esp. the greys parts). Switching back to VGA (with no config
change), and everything displays properly and clearly again.

Another weird difference with Kevin : I need to explicitly force XAA
accel, else (with EXA) I get unusable display (no font and no icons
are rendered, for instance). On the opposite, Kevin told me XAA is
broken on his setup but EXA works well for him.
