[Bug 1412730] Re: DELL U2415 monitor detection issue
Michiel Janssens, just to clarify, this report will only be scoped to
the issue regarding monitor detection on boot, not any of the other
issues. You are welcome to file a new report, one report per unique
issue. However, please keep in mind that a fix for the issue scoped to
this report may very well fix the other issues.
Despite this, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you
please report this problem to them via
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg&component=Driver/Radeon
?
Please provide a direct URL to your bug report once you have made it so
that it may be tracked.
Thank you for your understanding.
** Summary changed:
- DELL U2415 monitor detection issues
+ DELL U2415 monitor detection issue
** Description changed:
- My Laptop HP Elitebook 8740w has two external screens connected.
- 1 DELL U2412M connected to vga connector
- 1 DELL U2415 connected to Displayport.
+ My Laptop HP Elitebook 8740w has two external screens connected, 1 DELL
+ U2412M connected to vga connector, and 1 DELL U2415 connected to
+ Displayport.
- I worked for about a year with a single external display, just U2412M on
- the displayport without the issue I decribe.
-
- The first issue:
- When booting up and with screens attatched and active, the 2415 boots in 1024x768 resolution, the 2412 boots at the same moment in 1920x1200 as it should.
- At the point where the login screen appears the 2415 goes in power save mode, most of the time.
- The 2412 displays just fine at the moment.
- After logging in, turning the 2415 off and on, sometimes helps the get the screen active (out of power save).
- When it gets active, the resoltion is 1024x768, not 1920x1200.
+ When booting up and with screens attached and active, the 2415 boots in 1024x768 resolution, the 2412 boots at the same moment in 1920x1200 as it should. At the point where the login screen appears the 2415 goes in power save mode, most of the time. After logging in, turning the 2415 off and on, sometimes helps the get the screen active (out of power save).
+ When it gets active, the resolution is 1024x768, not 1920x1200.
In unity-control-center in display settings the 2415 is displayed as "Unknown Display" and the maximum resolution I can select is 1024x768.
- Second issue:
- After a laptop suspend the 2415 doenst alway become active again, the 2412 always.
- Turning off an on the 2415 multiple time mostly helps to get the screen active.
+ Current partial workaround:
+ xorg.conf with monitor section for 1920x1200 as in attachment.
+ This doesn't solve booting in 1024x768, but solves the resolution after logging in. unity-control-center still lists "Unknown Screen"
- Current partial workaround:
- xorg.conf with monitor section for 1920x1200 as in attatchment.
- This doesn't solve booting in 1024x768, but solves the resolution after logging in.
- unity-control-center still lists "Unknown Screen"
-
- Another strange behavior:
- when executing xrandr command, most of the time the 2415 stays in 1024, but after a number of executions the screen swithes to 1920x1200. At that moment xrandr outputs all possible resolutions as it should.
- When executing xrandr another time the 2415 switches back to 1024x768
-
- Already tried kernel v3.18.3-vivid, no change.
- Also tried Utopic live cd, no change.
- Tried Windows 8.1, no issues with both screens. (however my main OS is Ubuntu trusty, so..., just for testing)
+ Tried Windows 8.1, no issues with both screens.

DELL U2415 monitor detection issue

Bug description:
My Laptop HP Elitebook 8740w has two external screens connected, 1
DELL U2412M connected to vga connector, and 1 DELL U2415 connected to
Displayport.
When booting up and with screens attached and active, the 2415 boots in 1024x768 resolution, the 2412 boots at the same moment in 1920x1200 as it should. At the point where the login screen appears the 2415 goes in power save mode, most of the time. After logging in, turning the 2415 off and on, sometimes helps the get the screen active (out of power save).
When it gets active, the resolution is 1024x768, not 1920x1200.
In unity-control-center in display settings the 2415 is displayed as "Unknown Display" and the maximum resolution I can select is 1024x768.
Current partial workaround:
xorg.conf with monitor section for 1920x1200 as in attachment.
This doesn't solve booting in 1024x768, but solves the resolution after logging in. unity-control-center still lists "Unknown Screen"
Tried Windows 8.1, no issues with both screens.
