Created attachment 422441 [details] patch correcting the issue In multiple display configurations, due to a typo in the X server, the initial framebuffer will be sized to only fit a single display, resulting in a resize at a later point during init. This unnecessary resize causes memory fragmentation, which can be a big problem on cards with a limited amount of video memory.
