There are three things we need to do before we can do multi display properly - debug non panel outputs so the HDMI and other ports work on all systems - an actual KMS X server - a memory allocator (although in theory we don't need that if we stick to mirrored) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
