Seems there is a mechanism. The frambuffer mode selection interface applies to the DRM connectors. This means that you can sepecify a mode per output as below on the kernel command line:
video=<output>:<mode> Where output its the name of the output as per xrandr, say VGA1 or LVDS, and the mode is say 1024x768. The mode may be pretty complex: <xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>][i][m][eDd] ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: Steve Conklin (sconklin) => Andy Whitcroft (apw) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Fix Released ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Invalid -- KMS does not allow the user to pre-select a resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
