[Rodney Dawes <1021924@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christopher, must I really waste our time by updating the BIOS every
time a fix for the Q77 chip set comes out? It's a pain to do the BIOS
update, and it's a pain to test this bug specifically, because it
requires several reboots and shifting cables behind a rack.

If you read the Release Notes for the BIOS update, which are at
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23256/eng/MK_0064_ReleaseNotes.pdf , you
can see that none of the fixes are directly related to the integrated
graphics support, and that the integrated graphics option ROM version
has not changed in quite some time.

I understand if the option ROM was updated as well, or there was a fix
mentioned that was specifically related to the graphics support, but
updating every time there's an update available, is a waste of time.

Title:
  8086:0162 [Intel DQ77MK] Multiple Displays not working

Status in X.Org X server:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  I have an Intel DQ77MK motherboard, which has 2 DVI connectors, and a
  Core i7 3770S IvyBridge CPU. Under Ubuntu 12.04, the multiple display
  support does not work, and I am stuck with a single display. The
  second screen only shows all pixels as 100% red. Enabling the second
  screen in Displays in System Settings does allow me to move windows
  and the mouse cursor to that screen, though I cannot actually see
  anything on it, as everything is red. For now I have had to force it
  to mirror displays, to avoid moving things to the second screen.

  Also, on the daily live image for Quantal, the system appears to
  freeze when X starts, and I am left with the primary screen being
  black, and the secondary screen being full red. The plymouth
  framebuffer is a fuzzy green image, and everything turns black when X
  comes up.
