RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vasiliy Sharapov 2016-06-01 09:05:25 UTC 
Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/274904/#caserun_11913768)

This is a successor to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227730 - no more than 2 monitors are supported on this HW but there are some more subtle problems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.8-20160413.0
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.4-9.el6.x86_64
package xorg-x11-ODdrv-ati is not installed
kernel-2.6.32-642.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: 
A few issues with multimonitor:
1. RHGB only shows up on one display during boot, this is different from most HW.
2. If the login graphical session is set to mirror screens, and either VGA+DP or VGA+DVI are plugged in on boot VGA will not come on until xrandr is invoked.
3. Hotplugging is mostly absent.
4. When adapting the DP output to DVI or HDMI, it will never come on, and xrandr shows a limited list of modes for that monitor.
5. In the DP+VGA configuration DP is off on boot when mirrored, but comes on when VGA is replugged.

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
