Hi there,

I think this is something more "global" - I mean it affects whole
system, not only part when you're going back to login window.

For example, this happens every time I connect external monitor through
DP. Of course, I cannot extend desktop to this monitor. Looks like
monitor is detected, bot due to mentioned error "not trained" ...

A minute ago, I tried daily build as you recommend and error is still
there.

Title:
  i915 display driver causes crash back to login window

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've just installed Ubuntu 14.04 server on Dell Latitude E7440 and
  then installed Cinnamon 2.4.5 on top of it. The laptop has an external
  monitor connected through Display Port and a docking station.

  On the first day the system worked perfectly.

  On the second day, the system booted to the login screen (leaving the
  external screen empty but otherwise seemed to be under X11's control),
  it then let me type my username and password but then X exits, shows a
  bit of VT1 with errors then gets back to the login page.

  I found the following error in /var/log/kern.log:

  [drm:intel_dp_complete_link_train] ERROR failed to train DP, aborting

  I found a page which claims to solve this error for 12.04 in the
  second comment in
  https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73694#c2.

  I found that the file linux-
  source-3.13.0/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c, which is included in
  the tar file /usr/src/linux-source-3.13.0.tar.bz2 (also copied in
  /usr/src/linux-source-3.13.0/linux-source-3.13.0.tar.bz2), from the
  kernel source package "linux-source-3.13.0", contains the pre-patch
  lines mentioned in the fix above.

  Would you please consider including this fix in the Ubuntu kernel?

  Thanks,
