[Bug 1543683] Re: Fails to detect (second) display

 

There are over 400 changes to i915 between Ubuntu-4.3.0-7.18 and
Ubuntu-4.4.0-2.16.  We should probably narrow down the exact kernel
version that introduced this first.  At the same time, we can see if
this is Ubuntu specific, so testing the upstream kernels is best.

We need to identify the earliest kernel that did not exhibit the bug and
the first kernel that did exhibit the bug.

Can you test the following kernels and post back?

v4.4 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/
If v4.4 final exhibits the bug, we should move on to testing some of the v4.4 release candidates. 

v4.4-rc4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc4-wily/

If v4.4-rc4 does not exhibit the bug then test v4.4-rc6:
v4.4-rc6: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc6-wily/

If v4.4-rc4 does exhibit the bug then test v4.4-rc2:
v4.4-rc2: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc2-wily/

Bug description:
