I was relying on this feature^W bug. This post is for similar users. My laptop spends most of its time in an high-res fbcon, starting X "on demand" for occasional GUI apps. When at my desk, I'd boot the laptop with the lid closed and an external monitor connected on D-sub. When roaming, I'd boot with the lid open and no external monitor. In .33, both cases resulted in a full-resolution fbcon on the active head. In .34~rc6, the VGA-1 head is at native resolution, but only the top-left corner is used for fbcon, so that fbcon's terminal will fit the (unused) LVDS-1 head. If I pass "video=LVDS-1:d" to the kernel from the bootloader, I can manually disable the LVDS head when booting at my desk. This is better than nothing, though I'd prefer the old autodetection. Best of all would be proper hotplug support in fbcon! :-) Head names (e.g. LVDS-1) are from "ls -d /sys/class/drm/card*-*". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
