I tried updating my kernel on April 3, that one did not work, but it
did not include 721017cf4bd8.

I pulled latest tree from Linus, and this one has 721017cf4bd8. Let my
try to revert my revert, and test... yes, this one seems okay.

Something changed in the X, now it seems that only one monitor is used
for login, not both... but it now works.

Best regards,
