Does the following make sense? Currently on dual GPU systems, we do not get seamless handover as the output flickers during the transition bootloader -> plymouth -> desktop. This happens as a result of switching (via the VGA arbiter) from the "other" GPU back to the default i915 one and issuing io() commands. -Emil _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
