Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: Add helper to get an appropriate initial mode
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc1~536
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=003cfc0c56977f1c3ce48ddfd2073b7c6d75a5d8;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] fbdev: Add helper to get an appropriate initial mode

Add new helper, fb_find_best_display(), which will search the modelist for the
best mode for the attached display.  This requires an EDID block that is
converted to struct fb_monspecs and a private modelist.  The search will be
done in this manner:

- if 1st detailed timing is preferred, use that
- else if dimensions of the display are known, use that to estimate xres and
- else if modelist has detailed timings, use the first detailed timing
- else, use the very first entry from the modelist
