…ted display By default, Weston exits at startup if no output connector is reported as connected by the DRM subsystem. On platforms where displays are connected after boot via HPD (Hot Plug Detect), this causes the weston service to be killed during early boot and remain down until manually restarted. Setting require-outputs=none in the [core] section instructs Weston to start and remain running even when no connector is active at boot time. When a display is subsequently hotplugged and HPD is asserted, Weston automatically picks up the new connector and brings up the output without requiring a service restart.

Yeah, please propose to oe-core, this is not qcom specific. If not as default, at least have it in a way which we can set up a conditional in meta-qcom-distro to enable the behavior. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This can introduce duplicates. The patch for oe-core, I assume, will not use sed.

Raise change in OE-CORE layer, hence close this PR for meta-qcom https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/235114 |
