KIt used to take a comically long time for kargs to update
Kbut I've noticed it's gotten faster
Ayes, like rotating the screen or how much vram it should use
Gokay that's really interesting thank you
Ayes, before it used to also generate the initramfs which took even longer
Anow it only does a deployment which is slow but passable
KYOu can actually see the kargs if you want, I don't think its usually unique stuff
GHow do I do that?
Kcat /proc/cmdlineKKwhat's gttsize?
Amax vram allocation i think
Khmm. It's set to 4gb in my BIOS
Ayeah so its 4-8
Athose 3.5gb are important to mebut if you have issues you have issues
KI've had OOM freeze issues with it set to 'auto'
Kdoesn't play well in Desktop mode
Gmine doesn't have anything like that. I assume because its an nvidia card
Kbecause it's not a handheld
Gah I see I see
Kyeah the orientation stuff is because my handheld (Legion Go) actually uses a portait screen turned on it's side.
KSteam Deck does the same thing iirc
Goh weird, I wonder why that is
Gis it just some hacky workaround for something or other
KI'm assuming cost/price/quantity issues for displays
Goh so orientation is baked into screen hardware?
Kbut that's just a guess
Git's 2024, screens should be allowed to choose their own orientation 
Byes
Bif you give the display a command to show "FEED ME SEYMOUR", it has to show up with some side facing up
Bthere do exist displays which can switch rotation in hardware but it's not common
AI don't think its possible
AScreen rotation affects the order that pixels are written
BI have a few
ASo you'd need extra hardware to do the rotation that probably adds delay
Bthey're for microcontrollers, and the display has built into itself a processor
Byou got it in one
Bthe one I used most recently can read from a microSD card too
Byou can control it over SPI, or you can talk to its dinky little CPU
Band the CPU has "rotate pls" commands
AYeah but for actual displays the bandwidth is so stupidly large that the controller of the display needs to write the pixels as it receives them
Bold CRTs you could run the electron gun bottom to top, heh
Bthat's like flipping it upside down
AYeah upside down is probably the only one that could be done in firmware
Banyway I think we both know displays have an orientation baked into them for all practical purposes
Blots of special cases tho like e-ink
Gjust some things, I'm leaning towards udev having issues because as soon as someone connects, steam starts to think there are controllers missing
Gexcept the one who connected
Gdid I make it worse? it's not booting now, oh boy
Gok yup quick power down did it
