I have a crude "bootstrap the connector table via ddc probing" but it=20 has problems with secondary heads as well, and obviously without ddc it=20 won't work anyway. Either the user provices a connector table or we=20 pray the defaults, one way or another, are sane. :) Of course, once a non-detectable layout is known, we can add it into an appropriate driver table. > module option is the easy/cheap way but sucks in some ways... sysfs per > device instance is nice but a bit "too late" unless we have a way for > the driver to re-probe... which is a good thing to have anyway since we > might finally deal with screen hotplug :) MM, that would be nice.. but I don't want to think about the console interactions required for display reconfiguration. That said, the new=20 code is capable of re-detecting at any time, but I'm sure the radeonfb=20 core has issues. > I'll look at your stuff in more detail asap and will then let it simmer > in -mm if I'm happy enough for at least a kernel version...
