Comment (by rudolfc):
Hi and thanks! So if I understand you correctly on your system current git
behaves 'better'than the v4 testdriver. Correct?
Anyhow, I'll commit the panelfitter stuff coming monday, where per pipe
just one fitter will be programmed instead of all at the same time.
Once that's there, maybe, if you have the time, you could see what needs
to be -not- executed for a laptop panel to be 'at its best'. For instance
setting refreshrates on laptop panels generally speaking is not such a
good idea in my experience, so I can image that needs to be blocked in the
code (or fixed mode-wise) when it's determined it's programming an
internal panel.
Or maybe it's something else (fitter, M/N programming) that requires
special attention in such a case. Unfortunately I cannot test for this
myself (yet) since I have no laptop available for these kind of tests.
The goal for now would be that the focus is on the internal panel, not the
external connections.
That being said, the items are correctly working and need to be configured
per connected screen when 'dualhead clone'mode is to be attempted.
An interesting subject I'd say ;-)
Along (of course, wishfull thinking wise) with in the end or somewhat
sooner app_server support for real seperated dualhead modes :-)
