Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I am using gutsy cd tribe 5, with the new "intel" driver for my video card. The second display (vga out) is not enabled and pressing the relevant "fn" key on my laptop does not enable it (may be a matter of frequencies). Using the i810 driver solves the problem, but lowers the range of available resolutions.

Is this what I am running into? When I install gutsy, either the alternate installer or the graphical installer, it gets to the point where it's installing the packages, and all of a sudden, goes into a "colored and gray blocks" mode. Switching between terminals, I can see it working, and it will install ok, but it's all in these blocks, showing that something is wrong with the video. You can kind of tell what's going on, based on experience (i.e., you can see that it's proceeding line by line), and by hitting enter when you think it should be at the finishing point, it ejects the cd, etc., and on reboot it's fine. Then later xserver crashes on logout (a different bug). Chipset is Intel 915GM...

Oops, that must not be the right bug, sorry, missed that it was for a second terminal. I thought it meant when it switched to another terminal internally during install. Should this be a separate bug?
Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml) wrote : | #4 |
I had the same problem you are experiencing, I guess it was a bug in the console switching code, however it seems to me that it has been solved in recent updates. What version of gutsy are you using to install it?

Dan: that has been fixed.
Vincenzo: do you still see the original issue with uptodate gutsy?

Unfortunately my power charger is broken and I am really busy, so I don't have the time to think about that. I am using another laptop in the meantime, so can't provide additional information. Please don't close the bug, just leave it in incomplete status, I will provide required info as soon as possible.

Hi Vincenzo, just checking back in - it's been 3 months, are you still interested in this bug?
Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml) wrote : | #8 |
Bryce, sorry for delayed reply. Yes, I am still interested. I completely forgot about the issue until a couple of weeks ago. With fully up-to-date gutsy, I had to do a presentation and my vga out didn't work at all. Then I found on the web to use
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" # "COMPOSITE"
in my "Screen" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This worked on my two vga monitor (one analog and one digital) but DIDN'T work on the projector, even though I changed resolution to the usual 1024x768 and the frequency reported by the screen resolution properties was 50 hz (but let me doubt about that :-)) Hence, this bug is still present in gutsy and was a bad publicity for ubuntu at the meeting we had (my laptop always worked on that projector until feisty).
Regarding hardy, if I press the key for switching to VGA output on my laptop (with correct resolution) the only thing that happens is that I see gtk widgets getting back to the default gtk theme for a moment, and then to the "human" one. This is quite strange, seems like the gnome-settings-
In any case, fiddling up with the new tools that were introduced in hardy, I succeded in having a vga out, but at some strange frequencies that my external monitor cannot handle... it keeps switching settings (I hear it clicking) and sometimes for a moment it displays garbled output.
I have now the power charger and the time to debug the issue a little more so feel free to ask more information. I am running hardy nowadays so my system is up-to-date for testing.

Hi Vincenzo,
Thanks for getting back to me - and sorry to have not replied sooner!
You may have noticed that there is a new Xrandr GUI, which can prove helpful in setting up projectors and secondary (cloned) monitors. I've been testing projector support on -intel the past month or two, and while there are still some glitches, it more or less works. I'd be very interested in hearing your findings of it.
I've also been pumping in a ton of bug fix patches to -intel, and while the issues you describe don't sound identical to ones we've addressed, it's possible yours got fixed in the process. So re-testing would be a big help.
Some of the test data that is worth attaching to this report would be your Xorg.0.log, the output of `xrandr`, and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. A photo of the screen showing "garbling" can also be helpful - some of the screen corruption modes will be immediately recognizable by sight, but prove difficult to describe in words. What I've done in testing is just cycle through all listed resolutions and note down particular ones that have problems.
Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml) wrote : | #10 |
Thanks Bryce for your reply. For now a quick update, I will then report more tomorrow or on sunday, since I have a deadline tomorrow morning: I installed fresh hardy beta, it is up-to-date. The new gui for resolution is pretty cool. However, I personally found no way to set up the second display, it just keeps powering on and off (seems like it is protecting itself from damage). However, second monitor is autodetected correctly and that was a positive surprise to me.

- screenshots_config_and_logs.tar.gz Edit (1.2 MiB, application/x-tar)
I now have attached an LCD panel to my vga out. In the new resolution tool, after clicking on "detect displays", it does NOT show the second display, however when I click in the preview area showing the monitors layout, the new screen suddenly is drawn.
There, I enabled it selecting its native resolution (1280x1024) and clicked on "apply". The external monitor was not turned on, and the laptop lcd disappeared from the preview in the resolution tool. My panels have changed their position (they are reflecting a 1280x1024 display) but the desktop remained at its original resolution, 1400x1050. I attach a screenshot of the resolution applet after clicking "apply", and of my desktop (however, the top panel was not captured - I don't know why) after setting 1280x1024.
Then, I logged out and in, and tried to put my resolution back. I attach the result, which is a desktop with a rectangle (i suspect of the old size) working, and the rest black. However notice that the black area has been captured by the gnome screenshot tool.
If I press my vga-out switch, the panels resize and move to match the resolution of the second display. However, the desktop and the windows are NOT resized. If I press it again, everything comes back to normal. I attach a screenshot of this too.
I also attach my xserver configuration, out-of-the-box with hardy, and my x server log. The external LCD was never turned on, and it does not turn on with xrandr --output --auto.
Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml) wrote : | #12 |
I forgot to add the output of Xrandr. Everything seems ok as you can see, but the CRT monitor reports that frequencies are out of range. I paste both sony crt and acer lcd output.

Same thing happens to me.
With i810 drivers everything works. Even the fn-F5 key cycles between LCD, CRT, LCD+CRT...
with intel driver xrandr reports VGA monitor connected (When I connect it), and with the same resolution and position that the LCD one, but the external monitor doesn't wake up.
In the debugged logs I can see that the Samsung monitor or an external EPSON projector is detected and the EDID chat is done. But I have no signal.
I can turn off the LCD and it works. I can turn it on by typing blindly, and it works, but when I change any VGA output setting, even when xrandr reports the settings has been applied, nothing happens.
I think the problem could be the VGA power saving option that keeps enabled.
Anyone knows how can I interact directly with VGA card energy saving settings.

I also have some stange problems with the intel driver and external output.
It all started the other day when I tried to make GDM show in a higher resolution. I tried doing "xrandr ---output LDMS --auto --output TDMS-1 --auto" in the end of /etc/gdm/
I ran xrandr and only got
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 261mm x 163mm

800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9

That is, no TDMS-1 detected at all!
I'm really at a blank here....
Oh by the way, If you think this i separate bug please feel free to open a new one.

@Vincenzo, initially this sounded like another bug, but looking at the logs and screenshots it's clearly something different.
The next step here will be to test against the upstream git-version driver and verify the problem still occurs there, and then report the issue upstream. If you can build the driver on your own and verify it occurs there too, then it can be forwarded upstream. If not, now that 8.04.1 is out I will be producing debs of the git-version of the driver within a week or so.
@ea2973929, what you describe sounds like it is unrelated to Vincenzo's. Please refer to http://
Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml) wrote : | #17 |
Bryce: I finally found time to test.
I tested again with freshly installed, and upgraded, hardy, and with intrepid. The bug and the symptoms remain. In intrepid, the GUI configuration tool for screens is not working anymore and does not detects displays.
Now I built git version of the drivers, and installed it. The difference is that now the external CRT/LCD display is not even detected by xrandr (it says "VGA disconnected").

This is a bug forwarded from a Ubuntu user:

Issue: VGA out is disabled for this hardware (chip 8086,27a6 card 1179,0001 (Intel 945GM)), but when manually enabled the detected screen resolution is wrong, and when set manually results in panel bars displayed at the wrong lengths.
I notice we have a pipe-A quirk against this hardware, but it's targeted to 915GM - should this be 945GM?

The behavior described by the user is pretty weird. I don't think the pipea force quirk is the problem though, that would just leave the output on but shouldn't break anything.
Moreover, the resolutions for the VGA connected displays seem to be detected properly, so I'm not sure why things aren't working for him.
The screen shot looks typical of what you'd expect a cloned configuration to look like where one head was running at a different resolution than the LCD (that's why the desktop is smaller).
Maybe you can try setting different modes by hand on the external displays by hand? E.g.
$ xrandr --output VGA --mode 800x600 --right-of LVDS
or something. Also choosing a lower refresh rate might help.
The last comment in the launchpad entry is disturbing too, he says with the latest bits VGA isn't even detected properly, even when a display is plugged in? That sounds bad...
The logs actually look pretty normal; what you'd expect for a dual head config.

I got my machine back. It is still half-broken (thanks, toshiba!) and I have to send it back for further repair. Before doing that, I just downloaded the sources for version 2.3.2 of the driver (from ubuntu intrepid) and tested those on ubuntu hardy but nothing changed. I also tested the whole intrepid but cant manage to log in (X hangs due to keyboard, dont know why).
I also tried xrandr --output VGA --mode 800x600, and tried the new ubuntu GUI for xrandr, but nope: the CRT is correctly detected, the resolution is changed, but nothing appears on the screen, as if was physically disconnected. I also tried the same screen with another intel laptop running ubuntu hardy, and everything works fine.

My laptop was back from warranty after more than two months. I have tested both the driver currently in ubuntu intrepid (2.4.1) and the git version (2.5.96) - the latter required me to install git libdrm.
Using both drivers, I don't get any output from secondary monitor. However, with 2.4.1 (the older version) if I connect the cable before system power on I get both outputs correctly, even tough the primary LCD panel of the laptop is much less bright than ordinary (don't know why). There are other bugs, but this is sufficient to give a talk if one remembers to boot with vga connected.
Using the latest git version of the driver, if I connect vga before boot, I only see the secondary monitor and there is no way to view the integrated LCD panel of the laptop.
I am going to attach the output from xrandr and the server log in the latter case (xrandr shows that the laptop LCD panel is not detected at all).
From what I can see (e.g. screen blinking sometimes) the problems with second display not enabled when the cable is NOT connected at boot time are related to wrong frequencies - maybe there is some number calculation error in the driver itself?

I attach the output from intel_reg_dumper before plugging the CRT, after plugging it, and after setting both the displays to 1024x768@60hz, hope this helps. In the latter case, the monitor (a 17'' sony multiscan E200) says "out of scan range" or something like that (yes I've the monitor in italian :)).

Vincenzo, we will need a more comprehensive description of your envrionment... Are you using a Port Duplicator? I'm asking because of a very similar bug# 16777 (toshiba M400, as well).
in comment# 16, you mentioned using git version, your integrated LVDS can't work at all. that should be a problem , too. From the xrandr, it seems the LVDS is not detected at all...

I am not using a port replicator. Will report debug output next week since I am leaving my country again in a couple of hours (yes I travel a lot, that's why I really need a working VGA out).
For what I said in comment# 16, keep in mind that I can't power my LVDS on only if I boot the system with the vga out connected, which is also the only way to make the external adaptor work properly. It seems to me that if you boot with the VGA out connected there is some automatic mode programming that takes place independently of what the operating system does next so perhaps we should debug that case separately.

Vincenzo, are you able to provide the xorg.log with modedebug turns on? I'm interested with:
a) Xorg log of 2.5 driver with VGA cable connected before power on - you said the integrated LCD can't even be detected in this case.
b) Xorg log of 2.5 driver without VGA cable connected - integrated LCD works now but VGA doesn't.
thanks.

Vincenzo, Let's move the conversation here from bug# 16777.
you can use 'X --configure' to let X spit out the default configuration it uses and save it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then add the Option "ModeDebug" "True" to the Device section.

I am now using latest git (which seems to be version 2.6 of the drivers). Here, the LCD is working again, but brightness is dimmed and cannot be changed, even though pressing the appropriate keys shows the overlay brightness bar going up or down in gnome. The external monitor is working properly, and I can change all the settings from the gnome configuration tool (which uses xrandr).

Ok sounds like the original bug is fixed here then. The brightness problem could be a kernel issue, can you file a new bug for that with the output of "xrandr --prop" attached and also a listing of your /sys/class/

Jesse, only if Vincenzo connect the monitor _before_ power on the machine, it works. If boot without external monitor , there is no way to bring it up using xrandr. That's what comment# 31 mean... It looks like a pipe is always disabled...
Correct me if I'm wrong, Vincenzo.
thanks.

Oh I thought #32 meant everything was working, but on looking at the logs (please just attach the plain logs next time, no need to gzip) it does look like both are the git version of the driver, sorry about that.
Looking again at the dumps and at the latest logs, the startup states are as follows:
plugged in before boot: ADPA: 0x80008018 (enabled, pipe A, +hsync, +vsync)
plugged in after boot: ADPA: 0x40008c18 (disabled, pipe B, +hsync, +vsync)
so far, so good. The VGA output in the first case is enabled and in VGA mode (for text mode probably). And in the second case it's disabled in VGA mode, with DPMS indicating that the monitor is off.
Now once the server starts and programs things, they go bad:
plugged in before boot: ADPA: 0x80000018 (enabled, pipe A, +hsync, +vsync)
plugged in after boot: ADPA: 0x80000000 (enabled, pipe A, -hsync, -vsync)
the first case looks ok, VGA mode just gets disabled, but otherwise the output looks ok. In the second case though it looks like we get the wrong polarity for the mode for some reason. You're not providing any custom modelines are you? Can you try adding one with xrandr that has positive polarity?
Also, can you make sure your machine's ACPI DOS setting (somewhere in /proc/acpi/video) is 2, 3, 6 or 7?

Vincenzo, have you tried command 'xrandr --auto' after connect the VGA monitor after booting up without it?

Just to reply to recent confusion: 1) yes the problem is still there 2) I upload .gz only when bugzilla (or whatever) says the size matters :) 3) Yes I tried xrandr --auto with no difference - well, the gnome desktop gets resized in a wrong way with panels at half of the LCD panel, just like the panels had been moved to match the resolution of the CRT, but the LCD resolution remains unchanged.
Regarding 4) trying a custom modeline - I will do that if you tell me how because that's beyond my abilities (is this a bug report or an exam on my linux hacking skills? :) )
Thanks a lot for taking care of this bug

Could you test the blow command groups one by one when vag pluged after boot.

I tried all the modes on a sony trinitron ES200 without any luck. I fear that the timings might be not accepted by the monitor, thus masquerading an eventual solution for the polarity. Ma Ling, are these timings standard for 1024x768? If not, is there a way to dump the default and working timings after booting with VGA plugged in?
Notice that I sometimes changed monitor during tests.

because you sometimes changed monitor during tests, so Could you help us to unfiy all test reports again?
1) I assume your comment #31 and comment #32 use the same SW and HW environment. Only difference: commnet #31 is pluged with vga after boot, #32 is pluged with vga before boot, right ?
2) if yes:
a) under the same environment with comment #31, after starting Xorg ,before connect VGA please paste dump_register file and output from "$xrandr --verbose". after connect VGA and runing "$xrandr --output VGA --auto", paste dump_register file and output from "$xrandr --verbose"
b)under the same environment with comment #32(because vga is pluged before boot, vga work fine ),after starting Xorg, paste dump_register file and output from "$xrandr --verbose"

Vincenzo Ciancia,
To confirm with you.
A1 is after starting Xorg ,before connect VGA
A2 is after connect VGA and runing "$xrandr --output VGA --auto"
B is vga is pluged before boot
Neither A1 nor A2 case make your LCD and external VGA work at the same time, while B case, LCD and VGA can both work at the same time.
Is the above statement right?
If that's true, one interesting thing is, the reg_dump in comment# 23 is identical with B case, while comment# 23 doesn't work while B works... This senario is identical with bug# 16777. It seems vbios did something we are not aware...

Michael: I confirm that your summary is correct. However the following statement can be made a bit more precise (just to summarize):
"Neither A1 nor A2 case make your LCD and external VGA work at the same time,
while B case, LCD and VGA can both work at the same time."
In fact, in A1 and A2 cases, my VGA output does not work at all, even with the LCD disabled. In B case, LCD and VGA work at the same time, but the LCD is set at minimum brightness and changing the setting using the hotkeys seems to do whatever it has to do, but does not do anything.

hi Vincenzo Ciancia,
as we know A2 case is from pluging VGA after boot and run "$xrandr --output VGA --auto"
I find the register-dump difference between case A2 and case B is mode line.
for case A2 is
1024x768 (0x3e) 94.5MHz +HSync +VSync *current +preferred
h: width 1024 start 1072 end 1168 total 1376 skew 0 clock 68.7KHz
v: height 768 start 769 end 772 total 808 clock 85.0Hz
for case B is
1024x768 (0x5c) 65.0MHz -HSync -VSync *current
h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1344 skew 0 clock 48.4KHz
v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz
So under A2 case, could you try to run "$xrandr --output VGA --mode 0x5c"
then run "$xrandr --verbose" to check whether VGA is using the same mode line with that of above case B ? (key *current shows the current mode line )
Thanks

Vincenzo, I went through the bug comments and am not sure if you have tested this case, let's call it A3:
boot system up without VGA connected, but boot to console mode, connect VGA monitor, they run startx.

On this M400 laptop I found another interesting scenario.
>The VGA is attached before powering on. After the system is powered on, the system will select the VGA as the primary display device in BIOS phase. Then I use the hotkey of "Fn+F5" to switch the primary display device from VGA to LVDS panel. And after the system is booted, the VGA can't work well, neither.
If it can display on both VGA and LVDS in BIOS phase, the VGA monitor can work well as expected.

On the M400 I also found another test case besides the case in comment #71. It is described in the following:
No external monitor is attached when powering on. I press the hotkey of Fn+F5 before loading the kernel. Then after the system is booted, the external monitor can be detected correctly and work well.
From the above test cases it seems that the system behaviour can be changed if the hotkey of "Fn + F5" is pressed before loading the linux kernel.
Thanks.

If anyone is still reproducing this problem, please post a dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the upstream bug report, and an explanation of what you're experiencing.
(Or, post it here to this bug in launchpad by just replying to this email, and a triager can copy the info up to the upstream bug.)

Issue still present in 12.04. Attached dmesg and xorg.0.log
Problem is that when I connect SVGA-out cable to laptop and TV, the screen stays black. I can see it flicker when it tries to detect it, the system can see the tv but there is no image on the TV.
(tv is detected as 848x480)

Timeout. Please do reopen if you can still reproduce the issue and help us diagnose the problem, thanks.

From reading the last several comments it looks like Intel was going to re-test on their M400 but so far there's no indications anyone has confirmed it fixed, so I think this got closed out too quickly. The downstream bug shows one user still reproducing the bug in precise as of June (dmesg and Xorg.0.log on that bug if interested).

Hi Raylene, thanks for indicating you are reproducing this problem back in June. A few months have passed (and several kernel updates) since then; are you still seeing the bug in precise?
If at all possible, I'd encourage you to join the discussion on the upstream bug report for this issue:

Needinfo again, we need someone to actually test this on the latest kernels ...

Hi Bryce,
In Precise the issue seems to be resolved, as well as in Quantal. I can
attach my TV through my S-Video cable, and it works excellent. I do not
have to reboot anymore, it works right away!
Best regards

Looks like at least one reporter said this was fixed in the LP bug.

I faced this problem in Toshiba Dynabook SS RX1 SE120e/2W notebook
External Display works only when connected at the boot time and the same External Display if connected after boot, there is no Display at all. The Display is detected with all modes properly by there is nothing on the Screen.
You should be able to enable it by running the following command in the terminal:
xrandr --output VGA --auto
If a monitor is attached, it should enable it. If one isn't attached, it should disable it again. I guess what is needed here is some daemon to perform the appropriate xrandr commands in response to the key presses.
