Bug ID: 219821
Summary: external monitor not detected
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Config-Hotplug
Assignee: acpi_config-hotp...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: roberto.dere...@unipr.it
Regression: No
The problem is quite general not specific of my Dell hardware either, see below
a few related web pages, none reporting a convincing solution. What I describe
is completely reproducible under both 6.08 and 6.11 kernels (the latter is used
in the attached output).
My Dell XPS 13 9340 detects the external monitor correctly only when [condition
1] I power on the laptop, hit F2 and start the UEFI BIOS, exit from BIOS (with
of without changing it) and boot with the HDMI cable already connected.
Hardware and software details are below. Grub selecting Windows boot the
external monitor is always recognized like this.
If I disconnect the cable and connect it again, or suspend the pc (to S3
state), and thereafter, any time I reboot the laptop with or without connected
cable, the external monitor is not recognized any more [condition 2]. This is
particularly crippling since it practically prevents the use of external
monitors and overhead projectors.
I show below the output of a few diagnostics in the two conditions.

The Menu button of the LG external monitor hungs, it is not possible to move
the cursor in the menu display and the report is incomplete

Similar situations are described for other distros (Arch, Gentoo, Manjaro) and
hardware (Lenovo)
