Hi,
I'm looking at '[PATCH] fbdev: mode switching fix.' from
2004/05/22 10:37:52 (it is present in 2.6.7-rc1), and I cannot
understand how these changes are supposed to work. Would you mind
explaining to me how multihead is supposed to work after these "fixes"?
Long ago, when multihead worked, each head had its own display_fg
variable, which was pointed to by all VCs displayed on that head (through
vc's vc_display_fg pointer). All infrastructure depends on it, namely
IS_VISIBLE and CON_IS_VISIBLE.
Now that change (without mentioning it in changelog) removed display_fg
from fb_info completely, leaving all VCs pointing to one global
master_display_fg variable. Thus turning my multihead system which could
update two screens at once into system which thinks that it has only
one visible display.
Are there any plans to fix this behavior and restore multihead support?
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
