Description of problem: If i connect a second display to my notebooks (t430) mDP (only connected to dGPU) most times i got a broken desktop. both laptop and external display are recognized, but the internal only show a grey screen. the courser couldn't be moved to the internal screen but a small part of the courser is visible if move to the shared edge. the internal should be the prim display as no gnome bar is viable. if i cycle through mode wit super+p i noticed that there are 5 states instead of 4. each screen individually, mirrored, extended and broken extended which is often the default if i connect a display. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Connect a second display to the mDP on a lenovo T430 and cycle through thedisplay modes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: broken display arragnment. see above. Expected results: just normale extension of the desktop on the external screen Additional info: done on fedora test day https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2016-11-03_BetterSwitchableGraphicsSupport tests done as enno on http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/14
As i noticed with further experiments this only happens on my dell 24" on all ports DP,DVI and VGA but not on the LG with DVI and VGA.
Hi, I've done a kernel scratch-build with some patches which might help here. Can you give this a try please? From here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=16384253 download both the kernel-core and kernel-modules x86_64 rpms and put them together in a directory, then from that directory run: sudo rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm Note "-ivh" rather then the standard "-Uvh" so that you keep your current kernel and can always select it in the bootloader in case 4.8.6 fails to boot for you for some reason. Then reboot and see how things go. Regards, Hans
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'. 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 25 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.
