Description JM9 2018-10-22 19:34:23 UTC 
In /sys/class/drm device names are:
card0-DP-1  card0-DP-2  card0-DP-3  card0-eDP-1  card0-VGA-1

However, xrardr reports:
eDP1, VGA1, DP-1-1, DP-1-2, DP-1-3

This is on an Optimus laptop with Hybrid Graphics enabled. With Hybrid Graphics disabled, xrandr reports correct device names.

This started with xorg version 1.20

Comment 4 Michel Dänzer 2018-10-24 08:18:04 UTC 
According to the Xorg log file, eDP and VGA are connected to the integrated Intel GPU, used as primary by Xorg, whereas DP-[123] are connected to the discrete Nvidia GPU, used as a secondary by GPU. Outputs of secondary GPUs get a suffix (like -1 in this case) to avoid output name clashes between GPUs.
