From c10e408a00bb74c39f4f9b817f2b948851513377 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Mathias=20Fr=C3=B6hlich?= Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 06:44:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i915: Add option to bypass vbt table. This change enables the use of displays where the vbt table just contains inappropriate values, but either the vesa defaults or the video=... modes do something sensible with the attached display. The problem happens with an embedded board that contains vbt bios tables that do not match the attached display. Using this change and the appropriate kernel boot command line they are able to use an otherwise completely unusable secondary display on that embedded board.
