Christopher, no, making the assumption that something may be "fixed" by
a BIOS update, which contains no documentation relevant to the issue, is
exactly that; an assumption. There is no evidence that suggests a BIOS
update would fix something that is not documented in the release notes
for the update.

This is a bug report against the Linux kernel, not against the Intel
MQ77 BIOS. There is no reason to assume it is a problem with the BIOS.
The bug has existed for well over a year now, and assuming that it is
going to be magically fixed with a BIOS update is nonsense. The history
of the report clearly shows it has been accepted as a valid bug report
by upstream (whom as I already stated, is an Intel device driver
developer, working for Intel), against the kernel.

I am not going to waste time trying to update to a new BIOS and
performing the tedious procedure of testing the issue, when there is
absolutely zero evidence that it could have any impact on the issue at
all.

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.
