OK, I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but I don't think there's a problem there. I have an integrated GPU (intel), driver i915, resolution 1920x1080. It boots (via Refind) with the proper resolution, and that's it. All the VTs show the same resolution and font. I don't use a login manager. No problems, no change is supposed to happen. I start an X session from a login shell, in any VT except tty1, which I like to keep as console. > > I'm assuming that the patch you tried to apply was > 5.10.49-scroll.20210715.diff.

I wasn't aware of newer versions. Is there an URL to download it? I would try it before trying to apply the patch included in your message. Thanks, Jorge Almeida
