[PATCH] drm/qxl: unbind vgacon

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Problem:  qxl switches from native mode back into vga compatibility mode
when it notices someone is accessing vga registers.  And vgacon does
exactly that before fbcon takes over.

Before qxl switched to the generic fbdev emulation that didn't cause any
problems.  With the generic fbdev emulation the switch to vga mode
happens now and then, probably caused by a initialization order change
and triggered by a printk in a bad moment.

So make sure we take vgacon out of the picture by making dummycon
taking over the console early enough.

Not entriely happy with the approach, I'm open to better ideas.
