update the videomodes.c code to parse the same video string that the kernel uses. I also gathered that no one has chosen to update videomodes.c, so I would have to do it.
Do I have that right?
I think so.
Anatolij? Stefano?
At this point I wonder which use ther eis left for your "monitor" variable - it should be completely redundant now?
Well, it may still be necessary to have two variables. One for the mode that
No, this is exactly what should be avoided.
U-Boot parses, and one for the string that is passed to the kernel. This is
U-Boot and the Kernel should parse exactly the same variable.
because the kernel also needs to see "console=tty0" on the command line only if
This may or may not be the case. Frequently we still use a serial console even when booting with a graphics display enabled.
This is a different option, and does not belong into that setting.
video is supposed to be enabled. I want to make video mode completely dynamic, so that if the 'video-mode' variable is set, then the console is switched to the video device, and the kernel is told to do the same. Otherwise, all output will go to the serial port.
NAK. video-mode settings and console settings are two separate things and must not be mangled into a single variable.
