[Bug 1314213] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad X220] External DP1 monitor extremely unstable since upgrade to 14.04

 

I have updated the BIOS. I now have the following two lines in dmesg:
[    0.000000] DMI: LENOVO 42872WU/42872WU, BIOS 8DET69WW (1.39 ) 07/18/2013

Running xrandr (or the unity-control-center) with kernel
3.15.0-031500rc3-generic while the laptop is connected to the screen
with the DisplayPort reverts the screen to the laptop with these
messages in dmesg:

I also have a hard time connecting the laptop to the external screen. I
use the command "xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --off
--output HDMI1 --off --output DP1 --mode 2560x1600" but usually I have
to run the command multiple times as typically the laptop tries to
switch to the external display failing (the screen goes dark and then
comes back on the laptop) until eventually the screen moves to the
external display (sometimes the machine crashes completely in the
attempt).

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad X220] External DP1 monitor extremely unstable since
  upgrade to 14.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrade to 14.04, the external display on DP1 is extremely
  unstable. I get constant "[drm:intel_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* too many
  retries, giving up" messages over dmesg. I used to get those with
  13.10, but there was no stability issue. Once the laptop (Lenovo X220)
  is connected to the monitor (resolution is 2560x1600), if I run any
  program like xrandr or unity-control-center, the system immediately
  reverts from the external display to the laptop display, and often
  crashes becoming unresponsive. Every time I run xrandr or unity-
  control-center, it triggers 20 "[drm:intel_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* too
  many retries, giving up" messages in dmesg and if I am using the
  external monitor it further triggers a reproducible crash. It is
  possible that this might be related to the DVI->DP adapter I am using.
  Due to an unresolved bug, the correct EDID for the monitor is not
  recognized, and I have to manually add that after each boot.
