When I use LVDS-1:d in the kernel command line, that connector is not shown by utilities such as xrandr, at all. There is, however, another connector, named LVDS-0, and are also DVI-0, DVI-1, and DisplayPort-0, DisplayPort-1, while this mobo only have DVI & D-SUB (and LVDS soldered on board too) and no DP. At least as far as I can see. So at least one LVDS connector is shown anyway (LVDS-0, not LVDS-1), and that one is "not connected". Besides, DisplayPort-1 is shown as "connected" by xrandr, with monitor set to 1024x768 mode, -- I think this is why the text VGA size is calculated wrong.. Lemme see... ..nope. Adding video=DisplayPort-1:d to the kernel command line (in addition to video=LVDS-1:d) makes no difference, DisplayPort-1 is still shown by xrandr as connected @1024x768. > What happens if you then use xrandr to change the > display sizes ? X11 works fine as far as I can see. Xrandr works and changes video modes. Once I switch from X back to the text console the text size occupes 3/4 of the screen only, as if the monitor was smaller. I wonder if it will work with more than one monitor... ;) I'll try hopefully today.
