This commit caused a regression to some user upstream, and we have a fix in hirsute but it needs to be applied to groovy as well. As there are no known bugs filed on LP about the regression, we don't have a way to reproduce the issue so the test case here is to just verify the original use case still works.
Focal has the fix already because there was a mid-air collision upload of xorg-server to groovy, resulting in my local groovy branch missing the CVE fixes from 2:1.20.9-2ubuntu1.1 that got in the archive. I rejected my groovy upload because it had the wrong buglink, but then for some reason didn't reupload a fixed and rebased version. The focal backport was eventually based on my local -2u1.1 instead of what was in groovy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1883497 Title: Only timing mode list in EDID supported on continuous freq monitors Status in HWE Next: New Status in X.Org X server: New Status in xf86-video-intel: Unknown Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xorg-server-hwe-18.04 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in xorg-server source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in xorg-server-hwe-18.04 source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in xorg-server source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in xorg-server-hwe-18.04 source package in Focal: Invalid Status in xorg-server source package in Groovy: In Progress Status in xorg-server-hwe-18.04 source package in Groovy: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] Some new laptop display set EDID continuous freq bit 1. Then Xorg only uses the timing modes defined in EDID, no other modes are shown on Xorg. Upstream Bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/313 Fix of Xorg in merge request: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/421 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=6a79a737e2c0bc730ee693b4ea4a1530c108be4e this is required to support new laptop models which use such panels [Test case] Test that a proper list of modes is shown with a panel that uses the new EDID. [Regression potential] The patch retains the previous code path for setting modes on GTF-able monitors, and only adds support for non-GTF monitors. So in that sense there shouldn't be any regression potential, this has been reviewed by an upstream expert.
