The drm master is in charge of enabling/disabling displays. The first client to open the device node will automatically become the master. And afterwards as long as open fds remain fbdev/fbcon will not try to do anything with the displays. It's not clear from the above explanation whether all fds are getting closed or not. If they are not then the behaviour is as expected. As far as hotplug support for kodi goes, you definitely don't want to rely on fbdev/fbcon to enable displays for you. You should be doing that yourself. fbdev might not even be enabled on the system.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
