Hi Mario,

Tested your v2 patch + Xorg MR !2242 on the hybrid system
(AMD 0x0380 + NVIDIA 0x030000, EFI framebuffer on AMD).

Result:

   AMD:    boot_display=1, boot_vga absent
   NVIDIA: boot_display absent, boot_vga=1

Xorg now picks AMD correctly. boot_display is fixed.

Great news, thanks for checking it.

Bjorn, can you pick this up?  Or do you want this to go through tip?  I can see arguments for both ways.


Boris or Bjron,

Can you pick this up for fixes? Here is the lore link.
