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.
Automatic modesetting fails when attaching monitors with some AMD hardware
With some configurations, adding an additional monitor to a system using AMD hardware can fail to activate the new hardware automatically.
The problem is currently under investigation.
To workaround the issue, system administrators should manually call xrandr(1) to enable the monitor.
Description of problem:
Upon hotplug of a new monitor, the ddx does not get a modeset request to light up the new display. Manually running xrandr is required to light it up.
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hotplug a new display
Actual results:
Nothing happens
Expected results:
The new display will light up.
Additional info:
This came up during QA for our amdgpu-pro driver. We are not seeing a modeset request. I think gnome-settings-daemon or the xserver may be dropping the randr event. The monitor shows up as connected in the xrandr output and can be enabled by running xrandr to manually light it up. We did not see this issue with older versions of RHEL.
Hello,
From the call this worked correctly on a previous release of RHEL? Please confirm the most recent release of RHEL this worked correctly.
Please attach a sosreport from a system directly after seeing this issue?
Thank You

scratch build
Alex, would it be possible for you to test this scratch build? It's for rhel 7.4 so you need to install the beta plus this rpm.
