Sorry for the long delay, the notification email got sorted in the wrong place
:(
Which is really too bad, since you made the effort of replying so fast.
Sorry for messing this up, since it means I won't be able to test anything at
least for months, so I guess at most it would be possible to discuss how to
handle things next time.
I managed to build the development version (that's how I noticed it doesn't
detect the flat panel at all anymore in that version).
Testing the VGA port is a good idea, I didn't even think of that (I do have ssh
connection though, so not necessary for debugging).
The main concern I wanted to raise is: A lot of the auto-detection seems
broken, and with the options to override them they can only be debugged one by
one. Even if a made more of an effort, it seems to me the result will be that
bugs will be added quicker than there's any chance of fixing them.
Sure, the options won't make sense and won't work for DRM (well, I actually
would think they still make sense, just that they would need to be kernel
options?), but why is that a problem? Though I admit if the DRM driver is
expected to be "production ready" medium term it would be a waste of time.
In order to at least not just waste your time, I'll attach a patch that I THINK
removes the options that no longer exist from the man page, to at least
eliminate that source of confusion.
You should double-check that I haven't removed something that does still exist
after all though.
