Description Tomas Pelka 2012-04-13 10:51:28 UTC
Description of problem:
Intel driver is not able to recognize DP.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.16.0-1.el6
kernel-2.6.32-259.el6
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.6-1.el6
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-13.20110719gitde9d1ba.el6


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot system with only Intel enabled
2. try to connect monitor to DP
3.
  
Actual results:
no output

Expected results:
not sure if it should be enabled or shared between two graphics

Additional info:
nor ALSA is not able to recognize audio output for it

this system have two graphics, Intel and discrete Nvidia. Discrete graphic is disabled in BIOS

When discrete card enabled than system can see the DP out, but I'm not able to detect a monitor in g-d-p.

Just note that VGA works fine.

Comment 7 Adam Jackson 2012-04-17 18:48:15 UTC
Yeah, that's going to not work.  GPU-switching setups like that simply don't wire the DP (or any external digital port in fact) to the Intel chip.

Moving to 6.4, we might have prime support in working shape by then.

Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2012-04-17 18:48:34 UTC
Fix assignee.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:54:56 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:36:20 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 12 Lyude 2015-11-06 22:46:43 UTC
Still present in 6.7, also reproduced using an upstream kernel.

Comment 13 Dave Airlie 2015-11-09 20:10:51 UTC
If you disable the NVIDIA nothing is connected to the displayport port as there is no mux on that.

So it's working as designed AFAICS, even if designed is broken.

Comment 14 Lyude 2015-11-10 18:17:12 UTC
originally kept this open because I could reproduce the issue on the nvidia card, however upon further inspection it turns out two of our mini displayport to displayport adaptors were actually broken, and using a third one fixed the problem. Closing
