Description Nicolas Kaiser 2011-04-21 15:07:45 UTC
Description of problem:
The Generic video multihead test, as described in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_generic_video_multihead
failed at my place.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15 GNOME 3 Test Day x86_64 LiveCD
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/gnome3-test-20110421/gnome-20110419-x86_64.iso

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Test #3: Disconnect and then re-connect one or more displays.
  
Actual results:
Automatic detection did'nt work at all. Neither on disconnect, nor on connect, neither on VGA, nor on HDMI.

However, running 'xrandr' fixed the problem every time.

Expected results:
Both X and the graphical environment should cope smoothly with displays being disconnected and reconnected while the system is running.

Additional info:
Hardware: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_f58d8d11-6314-4033-b17e-063ec6f6d414

Comment 1 Markus Germeier 2011-04-22 07:00:47 UTC
I have the same problem as described above.

Running an uptodate patched Fedora 15 beta on my Lenovo Thinkpad X61s.

Connecting my Samsung 1920x1080 through the VGA port always results in a flickering/distorted screen.

xrandr output seems fine:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1024x768       50.0 +   60.0     40.0  
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        60.0     59.9  
VGA1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm
   1920x1080      60.0*+
   1600x1200      60.0  
   1680x1050      60.0  
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0  
   1440x900       75.0     59.9  
   1280x960       60.0  
   1280x800       59.8  
   1152x864       75.0  
   1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0  
   832x624        74.6  
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2  
   640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0  
   720x400        70.1  

running "xrandr" does NOT fix the problem
running "xrandr -s 1920x1080" does NOT fix the problem
running "xrandr -s 1680x1050; sleep 2 ; xrandr -s 1920x1080" fixes the problem

Without the "sleep 2" the display seems fine but GNOME 3 still believes the resolution is set to 1680x1050 resulting in all kinds of graphical oddities.

I will attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log of my latest test session in hope that this will be of some help.

I will gladly provide more information if needed if this helps this bug to get fixed. IMHO, this is a showstopper bug for auf F15 release!

Regards,
   Markus

Subject should probably read something like "display hot plugging not working"

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2011-04-27 23:22:41 UTC
As a first approximation, moving this to xorg-x11-server for further triage

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2011-04-29 14:37:46 UTC
Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please, reporter, add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

OK, I did the following:

* yum update --skip-broken
* added the kernel parameter
* rebootet maschine
* logged in
* attached samsung full hd display
* ... screen is distorted ...
* removed external display

collected the requested information:

> * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),

aang->ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory

> * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
> * output of the dmesg command, and
> * system log (/var/log/messages)

I have the same problem and I'm also running the Fedora 15 GNOME 3 Test Day x86_64 LiveCD:
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/gnome3-test-20110421/gnome-20110419-x86_64.iso

My computer is an HP EliteBook 8530p:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_1428f23c-6b12-4f77-a570-c8d6e5a52748

The attached monitor is an 24" Dell LCD connected via DVI port of the docking station.

I'll also attach the information you've requested.

I encountered the same bug during F-16 Radeon test day:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-09-07_Radeon

This is really annoying if the panel is on the external screen and you disconnect the laptop from the docking station. It is almost impossible to open up a terminal to execute 'xrandr' and force the screen readjust.

Comment 16 Adam Jackson 2011-09-12 16:22:40 UTC
The core multihead logic in the server is fine.  This is properly an intel bug.  Tadej, please file a new bug for your issue.

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 09:56:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 18 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 07:55:42 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
