multiple outputs

I have a graphics device (intel 945GM) that has multiple outputs (4 in this case, although not all can be on at the same time). I want to use the graphics device directly through the fb, and not through some other layer such as X. When using the fb is it possible to tell the graphics device to change outputs through ioctls, or ideally through fbset? For example I know with v4l you can enumerate ports, and then by using an index switch through them. Does fb have an ioctl similar to this? I couldn't find anything in the source. I'm envisioning something like # fbset --enumerate-outputs output 1: ANALOG output 2: DVI output 3: HDMI output 4: LVDS # fbset --get-output output is "ANALOG" # fbset --set-output 2 switching to "DVI" output # fbset --get-output output is "DVI" # fbset --set-output 1 switching to "ANALOG" output And then fbset could use the fb ioctls to tell the fb to switch ports, which would tell my fb driver the same. Does this functionality exist, in either the ioctls, or fbset?
