Description Vladimir Benes 2013-01-10 14:00:47 UTC
Description of problem:
I have some troubles to recover all 3 monitors (one of secondary ones - connected via DP through docking station) after going to mirror mode and back in gnome display settings. I just get black screen. Monitor is on. I can recover via turning it off and on again in g-d-p.

I have some screenshots (attached)    

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)
kernel-2.6.32-347.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.2-2.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.0-8.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.attach two more screens to your docking station with laptop lid open
2.go to g-d-p and set all 3 side-by-side
3.go to g-d-p and select mirror
3.go back to side-by-side setup
  
Actual results:
one of the external minotors is blank

Expected results:
all 3 should come up

Comment 8 Rob Clark 2013-07-30 21:33:20 UTC
Vladimir, what different modes where you using (modeline best, but resolution + refresh rate probably good enough).  IVB has some limitations when it comes to triple display.  In particular two of the displays need to have the same clock.  See:

Comment 9 Rob Clark 2013-07-30 22:00:36 UTC
btw, output of xrandr cmd would also be useful

Comment 10 Chris Wilson 2013-07-31 08:27:27 UTC
The important information here is in a drm.debug=6 dmesg, which should explain why the modeset failed. Why the two modesetting sequences were different is an artifact of userspace.

Putting into needinfo to get the information requested by Rob and Chris.

Comment 12 Tomas Pelka 2013-08-21 09:34:13 UTC

kernel -405

Closing as CURRENTRELEASE.
