[Bug 1416927] Re: Built-in display no longer working [GTX765M] [Alienware 15]

 

Ok, I solved the problem : apparently the brightness of the second
display was incorrectly set...

I used 
sleep 1 && xset dpms force off

As indicated here : 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/backlight

And my display restarted...

Thanks anyway.

Title:
  Built-in display no longer working [GTX765M] [Alienware 15]

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Hello everyone,

  Since this friday I have an annoying bug on my Alienware m15 (GTX765M) connected to an external display running Ubuntu 14.04.01LTS (kernel3.13.0-45-generic) :
  - Upon boot, the grub splash screen and the ubuntu splash screen are correctly displayed on the built-in display.
  - When reaching login, the built-in display turns black and no way to wake it up.
  - Tested on unity, xmonad, nvidia-331.38 (That I kept for other bugs) and nvidia-346 (from xorg-edgers).
  - If I switch back to tty (ctrl-alt-f1) it works perfectly on the built-in display.

  The weird thing is that scrot takes a picture of the full display :

  While it looks like this from my desk :

  I tried many times to force it through xrandr :
  xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --output DP-0 --auto --right-of eDP1
  I also looked into xorg.conf, nothing special there.

  In nvidia-settings, I only see the external screen but xscreen0 is
  correctly detected as being 3840x1200...

  I checked in dmesg, I didn't see anything fishy (attached for good measure). However, I recently crashed my desktop by trying to display stuff on the built in display and I have this error :
  [ 2073.710370] gpu-manager[5299]: segfault at c0 ip 00007f0545367d1d sp 00007fff2610da10 error 4 in libc-2.19.so[7f054531e000+1bb000]

  Any ideas ?
