Support on-boot configuration changes #4

Open ikeydoherty opened 7 years ago

ikeydoherty commented 7 years ago

Case 1 (OEM):

Expected:

OS installed using DISCRETE mode, only a single NVIDIA GPU exists
OS rebooted, firmware set to HYBRID
LDM should evaluate the configuration change to support HYBRID mode

Reality:

User is left with "unbootable" system because X.Org won't work

Case 2 (User):

Expected

User installs LTS kernel and NVIDIA driver, kernel + driver works great
User installs CURRENT kernel WITHOUT new NVIDIA driver, reboots
LDM should run and detect an invalidated configuration, and force MESA.

Reality

User is left with "unbootable" system because X/GL links set for NVIDIA, nvidia.ko not loaded

Case 3 (User):

Expected:

OS installed with hybrid GPU + LightDM
User switches display manager to GDM and reboots
LDM should re-evaluate configuration change to "fix" GDM and "unfix" LightDM

Reality:

GDM isn't configured for HYBRID, session fails to start on dGPU
