That's actually a bug. The goal is for the kernel to do nothing and preserve the output configuration from the BIOS. (So whatever configuration is setup in hardware, or in device files, is preserved right up until the user applies their preferences). So that means that even without fbcon, we should basically continue to show the BIOS screen until the splashscreen loads or until the DE fires up (i.e. no flicker boot). The full BIOS preservation is still hidden behind i915.fastboot=1. >From my pov, the display manager is the best place for the initial modesetting - precisely because it can store user preferences for different combination of monitors.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
