[Bug 459512] Re: X server aborts if two primary devices found

 

One other note worth mentioning - the ideal solution (mentioned in the
other bug referenced above) is to probe the devices and see which ones
have monitors attached.  This would let us avoid setting the wrong card
as primary.

This functionality is not available currently.  As I understand it, the
probing would need to be done by the kernel.  Jesse has told me that
this functionality has been implemented for -intel for KMS; I anticipate
it will be available in Lucid's kernel.  Presumably getting this for
-ati/KMS should be feasible for Lucid as well.
