 **** intel.yml
+KMS drivers (like for intel (i915) and amd (radeon)) require additional configuration beneath a customized ~xorg.conf~ - for a "static" output configuration (which works if the TV or AV receiver is not turned on) we need to force loading the display(s) EDID early during the boot process.
+
+This task therefore performs the following actions after the xrandr detection has been executed:
+ - create an initramfs-hook to copy the EDID(s) into the initramfs
+ - get the connector names and match them to the ones determined by xrandr
+ - add kernel boot arguments to set EDID and mode (refreshrate and resolution) for all outputs
+ - recreate and update initramfs and grub config
+
+Please note that rescanning the connected displays works only after removing the forced loading of EDID(s) during boot (call ~clean-edids~) and a reboot.
