[Bug 1530171] Re: [Regression] Thinkpad dock: External monitors not recognized after 15.04 upgrade

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Thank you christopher for this reminder, i did not knw that BIOS had to
be updated.

Unfortunately the BIOS update did not change anything.

(Note: On the linked page the current BIOS is labeled 1.82, but the
bootable ISO as well as its README (and the readme of the windows BIOS
updater) announce 1.81, as does my updated BIOS. So Lenovo seems to have
it got wrong. See
https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/j4uj65wd.txt )

xl@thinker:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
[sudo] password for xl: 
J4ET81WW(1.81)
08/14/2015


Note to the above apport data:
I did the aport twice.
The first config was WITH 2 external monitors over the dock.
The second WITHOUT these monitors. 
Guessing this might help.

(but some stuff may be broken as i had a strange 503 exception on the command line, containing:
    At least 4 queries/external actions issued in 0.06 seconds OOPS-4ade3bac7cd0be6540a006ad87bf530b
)


** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Description changed:

  External monitors are not recognized in display settings when plugged
  into any dock port.
  
  They *are* recognized after a reboot (not after logout).
  After plugging out and the in again they are not recognized.
  
  A monitor plugged in and out of the non-dock VGA is recognized instantly.
- After plugging in or out of the non-dock VGA, monitors plugged to dock ports are recognized (which serves as a crazy workaround for me now).
+ After plugging in or out of the non-dock VGA, monitors plugged to dock ports are recognized (which serves as a crazy workaround for me now)
+ (update: this works sometimes, sometimes not).
  
  Everything used to work with 14.10, but stopped with 15.04.
  
  A recent test with 1510 live CD did not fix this.
