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.

Sorry, installing nvidia is not going to work for now. I'm working with airlied on prime support for it though, so if lucky it lands in quantal or 12.04.2. Things will probably start working in x1.13 but it will probably still need manual configuration then.

Sorry, there is no Nvidia hardware in this system now. The binary drivers were left around from previous hardware (recently upgraded to this current system). After purging them, and rebooting, the same secondary screen issue ensues, and GL things are very crashy. Also, taking a screenshot does result in the secondary display contents appearing correctly in the PNG.

Also, I am seeing some drawing problems in GTK+ apps now. I'm not sure if it's a driver or theme problem, though. It was working fine before the nvidia purge. Have mostly noticed it in pidgin as it's always running, visible and mostly idle.

Also, I've enabled the xorg-edgers PPA and upgraded Xorg. The theme issue mentioned in comment #5 may be due to this, but I'm unsure. I also tried kernel 3.5 from that PPA, but when booting that kernel, Xorg locks up the system in some manner such that there is no keyboard or mouse input, nor does the soft power button work to shut down correctly. The cursor in the lightdm screen for password entry continued to blink though, and during one attempt to use 3.5, I did notice on the lightdm screen, there appeared to be a framebuffer vt cursor blinking in the upper left as well.

I would be very happy to have this fixed, and even install Quantal on this machine, but I can't install it while the system just freezes at the end of the boot sequence (as it also does on the daily live images now).

The weird graphics artifacts in the apps I've noticed seem to have gotten worse than when I made that comment. It does seem to be driver related, though, as a large portion of the background was also having issues at one point, when a redraw happened, and several rectangular sections were just black until a window was moved over top of it. Looked like possibly an issue with the frame buffer, and is likely a driver issue. That was with current 12.04 3.2.0 kernel, and xorg-edgers Xorg server.

Using the 3.5.0-3.3 kernel from the q-lts-backport archive, and xorg from precise, the system boots and appears usable, but still the same issue with the second display being 100% red. It also appears the quantal daily image from today sort of works again, after a few toggles of the mirror display option, and a few clicks of the apply button, in the display prefs. Before that toggling, the screen was very fuzzy and blinky. After a few cycles of that, it settled down to draw appropriate colors and seemed stable, though the second screen was still 100% red on today's daily image, as well. So this bug definitely seems to affect both quantal and precise.

Can you check whether you can switch places of the monitors by switching crtcs (with the xrandr --crtc option). But don't try to use both crtc 1&2, that will run into a hw limit that we currently don't check ...

Also, please retest on latest 3.6-rc kernels just to check, and please attach dmesg with drm.debug=0xe and xrandr --verbose

Sorry I haven't had more time to try and debug this. Just posted on G+ asking for anyone with the same CPU/Motherboard and multiple displays to help out if possible.

That said, I tried switching crtc on the outputs just now, and I can get the main screen to switch between the two, but the secondary always stays black now (it's no longer red, though not sure why).

I'm trying to find a 3.6-rc kernel package for Ubuntu, to test with. The current 12.10 kernel is I think based on 3.5.3, and I don't know if it has the Intel video code back-ported from 3.6 or not.

The last 2 messages appear to match Daniel's suggestion of fdi train fail.

Is this enough information to go on for now? I installed a 3.6-rc5 kernel, but upon booting it, my mouse and keyboard were not working under X, so I was unable to log in, switch to a console, or even reboot without using the hardware reset button.

Moved this to the kernel package, as it's a kernel drm driver issue with FDI link train failures on IvyBridge. I reset the priority to undecided, as I'm not sure wishlist is appropriate, but not sure what other one is. This is definitely a kernel bug, though.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.8.0-030800rc2-generic in the dmesg suggests so... but there's no FDI link train errors and I don't spot another monitor there either.

Are you using HDMI for both monitors? Or something else? Any adapters in between?

It is the 3.8-rc2 kernel which I linked to earlier, yes.

I think the drm.debug is perhaps causing them to either not get logged, or there is just too much information from drm.debug, and they end up not appearing. The output of running 'dmesg' and looking at /var/log/dmesg are not consistent.

I am not using HDMI for any monitors. The board doesn't even have HDMI. It has 2 DVI ports, and one Displayport. I'm using DVI for both monitors. No adapters for anything. Monitors are both Samsung 2343BWX. When trying to configure the second display to a working resolution (1280x800), then back to the native resolution, and finally back to mirroring, I get this from "dmesg|grep fdi" :

The bug is certainly not fixed. There is no new information, because no further information has been asked for until now, and I've purchased a cheap PCIe NVidia card, so that I could get both monitors working in the meantime, as being able to use both of my monitors is necessary. I didn't buy a second one to never use it.

Is there a specific version I should test? I see 3.11-rc5 mentioned, but 3.11.0-1-generic was installed as an update when I did a dist-upgrade earlier today, and the bug is still present there. Given that, I would also expect the bug to be present in upstream 3.11-rc5.

Also, this is not trivial to test. The machine is mounted in a rack, with little space to access the DVI ports, and it's a production use workstation PC. Every time I test this, I have to stop any work I may be doing, power off the machine, wedge myself in to be able to adjust the cables, and on occasion have to muck about in BIOS so that the right driver is used (internal vs. nvidia pcie), reboot with whatever kernel, and then muck about in settings to see if it triggers everything. It's not a test system I can just upgrade, reboot, and check new kernels at will. So unless there is some specific set of changes in a new kernel which points to the possibility of the issue being fixed, I'd prefer not to waste my time, or the kernel developers', trying to test things that won't work.

If you read the Release Notes for the BIOS update, which are at http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23256/eng/MK_0064_ReleaseNotes.pdf , you can see that none of the fixes are directly related to the integrated graphics support, and that the integrated graphics option ROM version has not changed in quite some time.

One can easily see by looking at the release notes of the BIOS update that it will not affect this issue, and one can also see by looking at the history of this report (including of the upstream report which is linked from this bug), that it has been accepted by upstream as a bug in the kernel, by a developer who works directly on the Intel drivers, for Intel.

Unless the Graphics Option ROM version in the BIOS update has changed, it is going to be an irrelevant update, in relation to this bug.

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.

One thing of note though, is that when X came up on 3.13.0-29, the second monitor did display the correct content for a few hundred milliseconds. The image would flash in and then away very quickly, as the screen turned to a giant solid colored area.

Running "xrandr --output HDMI1 --crtc 0 --output HDMI3 --crtc 2 --right-of HDMI1" on log-in did make the second screen usable again.

Well, it's still an issue. I just no longer am using the motherboard/cpu where I was having the problem, and no longer am using multiple displays (I have a single 4K display now, which has a different set of problems on Linux).

Closing it as Invalid seems like an inappropriate resolution to the problem. As the motheboard and CPU are both from Intel, I would think it should have been fairly easy for Intel employees working on drivers to get access to them for testing.

If the end result is that this isn't going to be fixed at all, then at least have the guts to resolve it WONTFIX rather than insulting me by claiming it is somehow INVALID.
