In b and c, when its booted with only 1 cable connected and/or hotplugged only one cable after boot, I fallback to fisrt available non tiled mode, does that sound good? > > Also plugging in one of these multi-cable monitors piecemeal is going > to take multiple seconds for the user to do physical cable plugging. So still good with ignoring the second hotplug completely? However i donno where in the fb helper to stop passing the modeset down after the drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event() Any suggestions?
