First - answering Bob - I don't *think* the monitor is being driven |
| 32 |
beyond spec because at least in the past when I did that the monitor |
| 33 |
pops up a display that says the input is out of spec. Still, I'll keep |
| 34 |
it in mind. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
OK, so for A I think the frame buffer is turned off, but if there |
| 37 |
something more I need to do let me know. IIRC the few that are modular |
| 38 |
are GPL stuff being selected by either the Intel DRM or i915 driver, |
| 39 |
but I'll double check. |

As for B, it's modular overall but already turned off for the i915: |

Is there an app that can query what resolution and frequency the |
| 109 |
system thinks it's driving the monitor? |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
Again, this isn't X - it's just the driver getting loaded. |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
None the less I have LOTS of data from running drm.debug=0x06. If |
| 114 |
there's a way to use it more intelligently I'd love to learn. |
| 115 |
|
| 116 |
I'll go back and check whether this was with frame buffer turned on. |
| 117 |
See the very last couple of lines as to why. But mostly the modeline |
| 118 |
suff is interesting as I think those really are the two monitors that |
| 119 |
are attached. I've got a 17" 1280x1024 on the VGA port and a 1680x1050 |
| 120 |
on the digital port. I'm not using HDMI is the part that concerns me |
| 121 |
unless the HDMI and the new, rectangular digital VGA are really one in |
| 122 |
the same. Anyway, there's lots of data there, and as I said earlier, I |
| 123 |
can run console mode frame buffer which may be where some of this data |
| 124 |
came from. |
