[Intel-gfx] HDMI hotplug fails when using VT or boot on text mode

[Sanchez, AdolfoX]

Hello Jani

Thanks for your clarification.
On graphic mode what userspace application handles this? Is the X server?
And in this case if the customer wants to enable hotpluging  he should write an udev script to handle the situation? 


Best Regards,
Adolfo.

The userspace is responsible for doing the modeset in response to a hotplug uevent. i915 doesn't enable the output on it's own.
