Description Marek Goldmann 2013-10-24 07:56:53 UTC
Description of problem:

When I boot my laptop connected to a dock, the second display correctly wakes up and shows the Fedora login screen correctly.

Although when I log in - the screen goes black. It's still turned on, but is totally black.

The laptop screen works perfectly all the time.

My laptop is a T430s with 1600x900 px screen and my second display is a 27" Dell 2713HM with 2560x1440 px. Second display is connected via dock and a Displayport cable.

When I open the display settings configuration - I'm able to make the second display working after doing a few steps like: rearranging the screens, changing the resolution, etc. I haven't found the perfect workaround yet.

I suspect this is somehow related to the resolution, which is pretty big.

This bug welcomes me every time I boot my laptop with a remote screen attached. Plugging out and in the displayport cable doesn't help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.21.15-4.fc20.x86_64

P.S. Feel free to select a better component, if there is one...

Comment 1 Marek Goldmann 2013-10-24 08:06:00 UTC
I have the feeling that this bug was introduced in with the below update on my system. I tried to downgrade xorg-x11-drv-qxl, but it didn't help.

I found a way to make the second display work:

1. Open display settings
2. Change the resolution of second display to 1900x1200, apply
3. Change the resolution of second display back to 2560x1440, apply

It seems that this issue was fixed by kernel upgrade to kernel-3.11.6-302.fc20. I don't see this issue anymore.
