Yeah, I understood it was something like that behind the decision. Also I know both xrandr and viedo= on kernelcmd can workaround this.
Still maybe you graphic-driver-guys should try to figure out a standardresolution for this? If I connect my laptop with intel-ums to my TV (yeah, I know UMS-support is going away) I get 1024x768, if I connect my ati using KMS I get 800x600, intel-kms I get 640x400, nouveau I have not tested yet. But you maybe get my point? Maybe something to mail dri-devel about?

And there was also a bug related to that part which has been fixed (from the beginning the kernel choosed 848x480 by default).

The problem still standing is that glxgears/opengl apps does not work with any other resolution then 1024x764/NTSC-M and it is still not fixed (tried the kernel from linus git, merging in intel-drm-next about two days ago). I raised that here in this bug since I thought my problems were connected, but it seems like they were not. So the question is: should I repost that as another bug without the noise or should we track that one here?
Also what can I do to have it fixed?
All apps/resolutions seems to work nice with 2.9.1 and UMS, only with KMS it is broken. And I do not want to be left behind when I have to update to something that removes UMS-support.
