And looks like unichrome might have done something even more exotic with the argument. But I do agree that using this with the kms fbdev implementation could be quite problematic as you can't actually know which crtcs the fb_helper has picked. > > I see two options here: > > 1/ Just wait for the first vsync event on the first enabled crtc.
