[Bug 1263681] Re: DisplayPort hotplugging is not detected on a ThinkPad X220

 

The bug still exists in yesterday's trusty daily image.

Specifically, test #1:
1. booted the daily image from USB
2. plugged in DisplayPort cable
3. nothing happened
4. ran xrandr in a terminal, external display was detected

Test #2:
1. plugged in DisplayPort cable
2. booted the daily image
3. had an extended desktop right from the beginning
4. unplugged the cable, desktop was reconfigured instantly
5. plugged the cable back, the hotplug was detected(!) and unity went back to extended desktop
6. unplugged the cable again, waited a bit longer
7. plugged the cable back in, nothing happened (and nothing continues to happen, several minutes later)

Will boot kernel v3.13-rc7-trusty from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D next

Title:
  DisplayPort hotplugging is not detected on a ThinkPad X220

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Get a Lenovo ThinkPad X220 with Intel graphics (PCI ID 8086:0126, rev 09)
  2. Get a DisplayPort -> DVI cable, plug the DVI end into a monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 193p+)
  3. Plug the DP end into the ThinkPad

  What I expect:
  - hotplug is detected within a reasonable time, GNOME automatically extends my desktop

  What actually happens
  - nothing

  Things that work:
  - if I run 'xrandr' in an xterm, the monitor is detected instantly and GNOME reconfigures the screen.
  - if I open System Preferences -> Display, it does an xrandr probe behind my back and instantly detects/reconfigures the screen.
  - if I plug the DP cable before I open the laptop lid to wake it up from S3 sleep, the external monitor is detected.
  - if I use a VGA cable instead of the DP -> DVI one, hotplug is detected within seconds
  - if I *unplug* the DP cable, the unplug is detected instantly.
  - I once waited ~5 minutes without running xrandr, and it actually detected the monitor and reconfigured.
