REVISION SUMMARY
  The orientation sensor causes a crash when disabling and afterwards enabling
  again the first output in a multi-monitor environment. This is difficult to
  debug, since gdb does not provide good information and with valgrind it does
  not crash indicating that it is a race. But output of gdb and valgrind together
  shows that the orientation sensor is responsible.
  
  For now disable the orientation sensor. Reasons are:
  
  - Output enablement is a basic feature and must work first flawlessly before thinking about advanced features.
  - The orientation sensor did never really work flawlessly according to user feedback.
  - The orientation sensor hooks into Screens class which will go away. A rewrite of the sensor is necessary.

TEST PLAN
  When orientation sensor is disable dthe first output can be disabled and enabled
  again
