False! Please refer to xf86CollectEnabledOutputs(). X first attempts to set up on only definitely-connected outputs, and will only consider unknown-connected outputs if no definitely-connected outputs are available. That was the intent, anyway. There might be bugs in that, but those would be X bugs, not kernel bugs. - ajax -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
