True, but from the pieces of discussions I've seen in #xorg-devel, I doubt it's going to happen over a weekend. Also, similar problems in the past were mostly just affecting software design decisions; this one causes actual hardware problems. [Though, personally, maybe the monitor-count check itself should be possible to turn off, for unusual setups.] -- Mantas Mikulėnas <graw...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
