Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 2016-10-04 05:52:11 UTC
Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/289603/#caserun_13279439)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.3-20160914.1
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.2-22.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-506.el7.x86_64
linux-firmware-20160830-49.git7534e19.el7.noarch
package mesa is not installed
mesa-dri-drivers-11.2.2-2.20160614.el7.x86_64
package xorg-x11-glamor is not installed

Steps to Reproduce: 
 1. Obtain 3 displays


 1. For every functioning output port (BIOS can output to it) try the following
    hotplug sequences:
      + Having a second display plugged in, disconnect display and connect the
        same display to the same port
      + Having a second display plugged in, disconnect display and connect the
        same display to any other port
      + Having a second display plugged in, disconnect display and connect any
        other display to the same port
      + Having a second display plugged in, disconnect display and connect any
        other display to any other port



Actual results: 
After some brute-force hotplugging two issues arise:
 - The same "lag" issue as seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1381286 : The screen refresh rate seems to drop to 1fps (applications think everything is fine)
 - On the integrated display the output is shifted ~5px to the right - rightmost edge is off-screen and leftmost edge appears black or grey in GDM and windows that extend past the left edge show some extra area rendering properly. The cursor cannot enter this extra exposed area.

Expected results:
 1. Every time a display is connected check the following conditions:
      + The display's native resolution is in use
      + The display comes on in a reasonable amount of time (10s)

Comment 2 Lyude 2017-07-27 20:42:32 UTC
The 7710 is made of pure evil and cannot be trusted. Please check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1381286#c2 and do that first before I look into this.
