Daniel van Vugt, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a18 needs-upstream-testing ** No longer affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/859389 Title: [i915] DVI monitor via adapter to DisplayPort is reported as HDMI. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a DisplayPort with a passive DVI adapter plugged into it to run my DVI monitor. However the i915 module seems to want to call this connection "HDMI1". Call it DisplayPort or DVI. Either would be correct. But HDMI is wrong. This occurs on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10beta2. $ grep conn /sys/class/drm/*/status /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/status:disconnected /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status:connected /sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status:disconnected $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 519mm x 324mm 1920x1200 60.0*+ 1600x1200 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) This is probably because the DisplayPort is running in DVI/HDMI mode [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Compatibility_with_HDMI.2FDVI] But it's still wrong to call a DVI connection through DisplayPort "HDMI". This bug might be caused by the fix for bug 702125.
