Hi, I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.32.6 and enabled i915 modesetting. Everything works fine (my laptop LVDS EDID is parsed and resolution set properly on LVDS).
My home LCD Lenovo ThinkVision L200p wide does not send any EDID info (Lenovo support told me) and without 'video' boot parameter is initialized to wrong resolution 800x...@?? which is over range. Adding video=VGA-1:1680x1...@60 solves everything, but: 1/ connection to other LCD in office (1280x1024 fujitsu with proper edid) is broken, monitor goes over range because there is 'hardcoded' mode on kernel boot line in my grub (I've created second boot entry, but it's bothering me and usually i forget), same problem with data-projector. (only way I can attach external display to my Thinkpad X61 is VGA connector, there's no DVI or DP) It would be nice to have something like: video=VGA-1:EDID,1680x1...@60,1024x...@60 * try EDID, if fails (empty structure) go to 1680x1...@60 * stay at 1680x1...@60 (some monitors will be over range, I think most of today monitors wont explode ...) * 1024x...@60 will be ready somewhere in /sys/.../VGA-1/modes to switch to from userspace 2/ even when i get proper resolution on console during boot (i don't have any splash system etc.), when I switch to X I have 'fallback' resolution 800x600 (so I added xrandr tri-line to my .xinitrc) - is this X server problem (trying to parse edid again??) IMHO X should follow mode set in console somehow and try to not switching anything back. Btw. thank you, KMS is superb piece of work, I can use dualhead+fbcon in console and switch to Xorg (when browsing web or reading pdfspecs) faster.
