OK, I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but I don't think |
| 17 |
there's a problem there. I have an integrated GPU (intel), driver |
| 18 |
i915, resolution 1920x1080. It boots (via Refind) with the proper |
| 19 |
resolution, and that's it. All the VTs show the same resolution and |
| 20 |
font. I don't use a login manager. No problems, no change is supposed |
| 21 |
to happen. I start an X session from a login shell, in any VT except |
| 22 |
tty1, which I like to keep as console. |

I may have missed some announcement from you, I'm using |
| 31 |
diff.20210405.diff. I wasn't aware of newer versions. Is there an URL |
| 32 |
to download it? I would try it before trying to apply the patch |
| 33 |
included in your message. |

Thanks, |
