# drm\_helper\_move\_panel\_connectors\_to\_head(9)

move panels to the front in the connector list

## NAME

drm\_helper\_move\_panel\_connectors\_to\_head - move panels to the front in the connector list

## SYNOPSIS

**void drm\_helper\_move\_panel\_connectors\_to\_head(struct drm\_device \*** *dev***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*dev*

drm device to operate on

## DESCRIPTION

Some userspace presumes that the first connected connector is the main display, where it's supposed to display e.g. the login screen. For laptops, this should be the main panel. Use this function to sort all (eDP/LVDS) panels to the front of the connector list, instead of painstakingly trying to initialize them in the right order.
