On a machine with multiple GPUs, a Linux user has no control over which one
is primary at boot time.

Question is why is that useful? Should we give users the ability to control that?

I don't see an use case for this.

Regards,
Christian.

  This patch tries to solve the mentioned problem by
implementing the .be_primary() callback. Pass radeon.modeset=10 on the
kernel cmd line if you really want the device bound by radeon to be the
primary video adapter, no matter what VGAARB say.
