Ok, if we don't use builtin mode in weston. That is fine. In this case, I supposed to provide some useful error output to user instead of core dump weston.
Another case is if we don't get active mode from current connector, and at the same time EDID mode information from KMS is available. In this case, I use the first mode we get from KMS as the default mode for connector. If not, we will still core dump weston. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kristian Høgsberg [mailto:hoegsb...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2012 5:15 AM > To: Wang, Quanxian > Cc: wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org > Subject: Re: mode issue about no EDID and first mode when weston start > > On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 07:54:45PM +0000, Wang, Quanxian wrote: > > Hi, All > > > > Help review. > > > > Background > > > > 1) Some platforms has no EDID mode information.
