Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 4.18+98
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Each time I try to boot with the new kernel (4.18.x), one of my LCD
screen works in VGA mode (as primary display) but stop to work as soon
as the graphical mode starts (it complains about "No signal").
Note that the system seems to be unaware of this because the second
screen render the graphical display as if the primary screen was working.
I am using Wayland (yes, I love the bleeding edge...).
One last specificity of my settings is that the primary display is
connected through DP (display port) and the secondary display uses HDMI.
I tried to look at the usual logs (/var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log,
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.1.log), but I did not found
anything related (I may have missed it).
So, does the 4.18.x Linux kernel family introduce some new things about
the display ports or the way Xorg/Wayland is handled.
And, everything is working fine when I switch back to 4.17.x.
So, I really suspect the 4.18.x to be faulty on that.

Hi
This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.
If you can reproduce it with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
Regards,
Salvatore
