Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/274911/#caserun_11913996) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL-6.8-20160406.n.0 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.4-9.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-0.4.20151111.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-638.el6.x86_64 package linux-firmware is not installed package mesa is not installed mesa-dri-drivers-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 package xorg-x11-glamor is not installed Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect as many displays as you can to the available ports on your display adapter. 2. Ensure the 'nomodeset' kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader configuration. 3. Ensure the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or is a valid file that uses the valid driver. 1. Verify that the graphical environment starts correctly and is spanned across all connected displays 2. Open a console and run the command xrandr. Take a copy of the results. 3. Disconnect and then re-connect one or more displays; do this several times. If you are using a docking station for a laptop, try removing the laptop from and restoring the laptop to it several times. 4. Run your gnome-display-properties. Verify that it correctly shows each of the connected displays (monitors). Test re-arranging, enabling, disabling and configuring displays. Actual results: VGA output seems nonexistent. No effect on hotplug and curiously seems to be completely absent in xrandr output: [root@dhcp40-146 ~]# xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 527mm x 296mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00 59.94 [...] DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI3 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1920x1080 60.00 + 50.00 59.94 [...] Expected results: Both X and the graphical environment should cope smoothly with displays being disconnected and reconnected while the system is running: the displays should be correctly added or removed by X, and the graphical environment should correctly adjust itself to the added or removed display Configuration tools should allow you to arrange the displays in any configuration, enable and disable displays, and change each display's settings; these changes should work and be reflected in what each display actually shows
Had the brilliant thought to make sure BIOS could output to VGA and sure enough it cannot. Probably an issue with the engineering sample.
