[Rodney Dawes <1021924@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christopher, while I appreciate your passion for triaging bugs, and
wishing to strictly adhere to process or protocol, a BIOS update that
will not fix anything is unnecessary, and a waste of time. One can
easily see by looking at the release notes of the BIOS update that it
will not affect this issue, and one can also see by looking at the
history of this report (including of the upstream report which is linked
from this bug), that it has been accepted by upstream as a bug in the
kernel, by a developer who works directly on the Intel drivers, for
Intel.

Unless the Graphics Option ROM version in the BIOS update has changed,
it is going to be an irrelevant update, in relation to this bug. So
please don't waste my time (and anyone else who may be watching this
bug), by insisting that a BIOS update be applied, where the Graphics
Option ROM version has not changed.

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:
  Confirmed

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.
