I've been thinking about this and it's not clear to me if or how we could determine which is the primary display. If we can't, it wouldn't be all too useful. Another possibility would be falling back to defaults for display and DDC type based on chip ID etc. That (and maybe options to override them) should do for laptops without a BIOS, for which I consider this most important. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
