Christopher, while I appreciate your passion for triaging bugs, and wishing to strictly adhere to process or protocol, a BIOS update that will not fix anything is unnecessary, and a waste of time. One can easily see by looking at the release notes of the BIOS update that it will not affect this issue, and one can also see by looking at the history of this report (including of the upstream report which is linked from this bug), that it has been accepted by upstream as a bug in the kernel, by a developer who works directly on the Intel drivers, for Intel.
Unless the Graphics Option ROM version in the BIOS update has changed, it is going to be an irrelevant update, in relation to this bug. So please don't waste my time (and anyone else who may be watching this bug), by insisting that a BIOS update be applied, where the Graphics Option ROM version has not changed. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021924 Title: 8086:0162 [Intel DQ77MK] Multiple Displays not working Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: I have an Intel DQ77MK motherboard, which has 2 DVI connectors, and a Core i7 3770S IvyBridge CPU. Under Ubuntu 12.04, the multiple display support does not work, and I am stuck with a single display. The second screen only shows all pixels as 100% red. Enabling the second screen in Displays in System Settings does allow me to move windows and the mouse cursor to that screen, though I cannot actually see anything on it, as everything is red. For now I have had to force it to mirror displays, to avoid moving things to the second screen. Also, on the daily live image for Quantal, the system appears to freeze when X starts, and I am left with the primary screen being black, and the secondary screen being full red. The plymouth framebuffer is a fuzzy green image, and everything turns black when X comes up.
