This is the relevant part of my Xorg.1.log [ 6037.726] (**) FBDEV(0): claimed PCI slot 0@0:2:0 [ 6037.726] (II) FBDEV(0): using /dev/fb1 [ 6037.726] (II) FBDEV(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section "Default Screen Section" for depth/fbbpp 8/8 [ 6037.726] (==) FBDEV(0): Depth 8, (==) framebuffer bpp 8 [ 6037.726] (==) FBDEV(0): Default visual is PseudoColor [ 6037.726] (==) FBDEV(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) [ 6037.726] (II) FBDEV(0): hardware: sm501fb-crt (video memory: 0kB) [ 6037.726] (**) FBDEV(0): Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" [ 6037.726] (II) FBDEV(0): checking modes against framebuffer device...

However, it's not clear to me if this should be made in loginctl itself or in a display manager. Just for comparison: - in Huo & Cameron multiseat-optimized ConsoleKit approach, the Xorg command line can be customized just by adding a new display template file in directory /etc/ConsoleKit/displays.d, and using it when loading a new session (I really like this approach); - in LightDM, the Xorg command line can be customized in its own config file, lightdm.conf.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
