Is that OK? > > > -Doug It's fine by me - testing Rob's suggestion of changing MAX_HDISPLAY_SPLIT 1080->1920 along with the change to adding IS_SDM845 does give me a full screen that looks nicer, I'm fine with using the hack locally until a proper solution is found.  And I'm always a fan of using less power on a laptop. I'll give the patch a spin here if you want as well. Hopefully BOE gets back to you soon, and there's no rush, I'm just an end user who is extremely appreciative of all the work everyone on the list and the kernel in general put in to make my machines usable.
