This pattern is common among the UMS drivers. The idea was to initialize enough of the ConfiguredMonitor variable that X -configure could write out a maybe-reasonable monitor section, which the user would then edit fine tune. This turns out to be fairly pointless now that we can construct the valid mode list at runtime, which is why RANDR 1.2 drivers typically don't do this bit. (Also because vbe is sort of intrinsically single-headed, so "a" configured monitor isn't really meaningful.) - ajax _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
