[Bug 747205] Re: [arrandale] Black screen on all outputs when external VGA is connected

 

I've reviewed the aforementioned bug reports.  It is striking they have
such similar symptoms and are mostly Arrandale/x86_64 specific, but
there are subtle differences in symptoms so I'm unsure they're all
duplicates.

There are a variety of Arrandale (aka Ironlake) kernel patches proposed
upstream at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-
gfx/2011-April/010071.html.

Some of those patches are experimental bits, others are merely shuffling
code around for refactoring, so it's difficult to spot the actual fixes
we should care about.

In any case, I think the next action for this bug report is that we need
people to test this intel-drm-next-proposed branch and tell us whether
it fixes the issue; if so then the actual fixes can be git-bisected, or
if not we should forward the bugs upstream.
