I believe we are taking the panel fitter into account when we reconstruct the BIOS fb. So in case the BIOS is upscaling we'll come up with some less than screen size framebuffer. The fb helper will want to use the native mode of the panel however, so at some point we'll drop the BIOS fb (as it's too small) and allocate a new one. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
