[PATCH] change initial modesetting if outputs are aligned in 1 dimension

2011-06-01 Thread Florian Mickler
Recently the kernel started reporting my outputs in a different ordering due to commit cb0953d734 (drm/i915: Initialize LVDS and eDP outputs before anything else) Which made X choose a wrong resolution for my VGA display. Since they are aligned horizontally, I wish them to be aligned in
