Description of problem: I have a laptop HP Elitebook 840 with a fully updated fedora 24 installation. When connecting a beamer or monitor to VGA either it is automatically recognized or nothing happens, with no message at all. Changing cables does not affect and other laptops work OK.
More likely a kernel driver issue. Which card is in the laptop?

Same problem here on EliteBook 840 with exact same lspci output. Some additional tests: * VGA works with a monitor * VGA does not work with beamer (multiple beamers tested) * Happened after migration from F22 to F24 * Bought a DisplayPort to VGA adapter: beamer still doesn't work

By the way, for some beamers it works, but sometimes for the same model, some devices work and not other ones (different connectors?)
It seems there are solutions; I tried to downgrade to kernel 4.6 but I did not find it in the repos. Is there any chance to have it soon in 4.8.x? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83348 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98140
I have just tried with a beamer not working some days ago (I do not remember my last try); it works now with kernel 4.8.6-201.fc24.x86_64, immediately recognized.
I confirm. A simple dnf update on Fedora 24 today solves the problem. Thanks artal! I think you can close the bug.
