(In reply to Vladimir Kondratyev from comment #7)
After this commit, the framebuffer resolution for the second monitor is no
longer correct; only the resolution of the first monitor is set correctly.
Furthermore, framebuffer initialisation appears to interfere with EDID reading
on the second monitor, preventing Xorg from detecting its supported display
modes and causing a conflict between the framebuffer configuration and Xorg.

Please test the framebuffer with at least two different monitors connected
(monitors supporting different resolutions). This should make the regression
apparent.

As a workaround, one can set hw.vga.textmode="1". However, I still consider
this a regression, if not a bug, since the framebuffer should handle multiple
monitors with different resolutions correctly, and this workaround simply
disables the framebuffer.
