Description Terry Barnaby 2016-03-13 08:44:24 UTC
Description of problem:
On a particular system (I have other systems with Intel graphics that are fine) there is no HDMI graphics output from Xorg when kernel 4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64 is used. As soon as the kernel boots the monitor (HDMI TV) goes blank with messages saying nothing is connected. xrandr lists no monitor is connected.
There is only a single monitor connected and that is a Samsung TV to the HDMI port.
If I boot from kernel 4.3.5-300.fc23.x86_64 all is fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64 is bad
kernel 4.4.3-300.fc23.x86_64 is bad
kernel 4.3.5-300.fc23.x86_64 is fine

The system is:
Motherboard:    Intel DG45FC
CPU:            Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz
System:         Fedora 23 (all updates to 2016-03-12)

If I run "Xorg -verbose" after disabling sddm, the difference in messages from a working and non working boot (different kernels) are:

It appears the Intel graphics driver does not recognise that a monitor (Samsung TV) that is connected to the HDMI connector.

not working with:
kernel 4.4.4-200.fc22.x86_64
kernel 4.4.5-200.fc22.x86_64
kernel 4.4.6-200.fc22.x86_64

CPU:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz

GPU:
Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
GPU driver: i915

Monitor over HDMI: LG IPS235

Comment 2 Terry Barnaby 2016-04-29 17:28:35 UTC
Anyone know how best to track this bug down or where I should direct the issue to ?

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2016-05-05 09:29:49 UTC
For intel graphics we closely track upstream, so your best option is probably to directly file a bug upstream as described here:

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs

Comment 4 Terry Barnaby 2016-05-15 07:11:11 UTC
Thanks for the info. Will peruse this there.

Comment 5 Terry Barnaby 2016-05-17 07:36:15 UTC
Ok, have built and tried the latest (2016-05-16, 4.6.0-rc7+) drm-intel-nighlty git kernel from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel using the config from config-4.4.9-300.fc23.x86_64. This works fine.

So I guess I will have to wait until the Fedora23 kernel incorporates the code that fixes this issue.

Comment 6 Gds Kdw 2016-06-01 13:21:24 UTC
fixed with version 4.4.10-200.fc22.x86_64 from the standard repositories (fedora 22) in my case

Comment 7 Terry Barnaby 2016-06-03 07:16:46 UTC
Yes, now fixed in Fedora 23 also with 4.5.5-201.fc23.x86_64 from Fedora updates.

Comment 8 Adam Pribyl 2016-07-14 13:27:02 UTC
This is still not fixed for me even with kernel-4.5.7-202.fc23.x86_64. I filled upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96930

Up to now I have to stay on 4.3.4 from fc22 for Fedora 23.


It seems to be, the situation is even worse with Display Port compared to HDMI.

Comment 9 Fabash 2016-09-24 15:43:17 UTC
I have same issue on Fedora 23 with kernel-4.4.3-300.fc23.x86_64 and above.
I have to stay with kernel-4.3.5-300.fc23.x86_64 on Fedora 23.

Having build vanilla kernel v4.3.6 (last 4.3.x release) with default options, it works, where vanilla kernel v4.4.1 does NOT work with same default options.

For my understanding, please, could someone explain me why it is tracked under 'xorg-x11-drv-intel' component ? Should not be rather related with i915 drm driver ? Thanks.

Comment 11 Adam Pribyl 2016-11-13 18:42:55 UTC
No change with 4.7.9-100.fc23.x86_64, upstream bug is ignored... It does not output anything to HDMI2.

The main difference is the 4.7.9 is missing few lines in the output:

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 16:03:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 13 Fabash 2016-12-01 21:41:56 UTC
It works for me now from F24 using kernel 4.8.10-200.fc24.x86_64
 (kernel: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20160711 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0)

Tested OK also with F25 Live Workstation using kernel 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64.

Comment 14 Adam Pribyl 2016-12-05 20:50:13 UTC
I still feal a bit of uncertainity, but yes it seems that for me also the 4.8.10+ fixes the issue and I can finally use a latest kernel. So maybe we are close to close this bug...

Comment 15 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:25:22 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
