Description Stephen Gallagher 2014-07-10 02:13:40 UTC

Description of problem:
The latest Rawhide/F21 kernel (actually all of the 3.16 kernels I've tried) fails to properly detect the display resolution of my Samsung monitor. It defaults to 1024x768.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.16.0-0.rc4.git1.1.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the kernel specified above
2. Plug in a Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD
3. Boot Fedora

Actual results:
External monitor is stuck in 1024x768

Expected results:
Proper resolution (1920x1080) as well as any other supported resolution should be detected.

Additional info:
I retained the Fedora 20 kernel in GRUB (kernel-3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64). When I boot with this kernel, the detection happens properly. I am therefore marking this with the Regression keyword.

I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p with:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD

I am connecting to the monitor through a docking station. I have tried both the DVI and HDMI inputs of the monitor in case that makes a difference. I have been unable to try a non-docking-station connection as I do not currently have an adapter that will serve. (The laptop has only mini-DisplayPort for outputs and I do not have a mini-DP-to-DVI or mini-DP-to-HDMI cable available).

Not sure exactly when this was fixed, but it's no longer an issue.
