Created attachment 21805 [details] dmesg output I have a laptop with i965 graphics and a 1280x800 display. Up until a certain commit, the KMS framebuffer filled the whole screen at native resolution. Since this commit, the console fills only a 1024x768 area, anchored to the top left corner, leaving blank the right and bottom edges of the screen. usplash also runs at 1024x768. X still uses 1280x800, however. The console appears to be picking a resolution to accommodate the TV out, according to the following in dmesg: [ 1.217492] allocated 1280x800 fb: 0x007df000, bo ffff88013e6d2540 [ 1.279983] [drm] TV-13: set mode 1024x768 18 [ 1.360854] [drm] LVDS-8: set mode 1280x800 15 [ 1.645634] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 [ 1.648155] fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device No TV is connected, and xrandr correctly reports 'TV1 disconnected'. I assume that the TV out should be irrelevant in picking the console resolution, then. The problem appears with this commit: commit c9fb15f60eb517c958dec64dca9357bf62bf2201 Author: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Date: Sat May 30 20:42:28 2009 -0700 drm: Hook up DPMS property handling in drm_crtc.c. Add drm_helper_connector_dpms. Making the drm_crtc.c code recognize the DPMS property and invoke the connector->dpms function doesn't remove any capability from the driver while reducing code duplication. That just highlighted the problem with the existing DPMS functions which could turn off the connector, but failed to turn off any relevant crtcs. The new drm_helper_connector_dpms function manages all of that, using the drm_helper-specific crtc and encoder dpms functions, automatically computing the appropriate DPMS level for each object in the system. This fixes the current troubles in the i915 driver which left PLLs, pipes and planes running while in DPMS_OFF mode or even while they were unused.
