Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue. However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request. We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel currently in the release pocket than the one you tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not. If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

At least from the X side I think we could consider a bios fix to be a true fix. Since this system uses KMS, if we were to work around the buggy bios it'd need done in the kernel. So I'll leave the kernel tasks open in case a workaround makes sense, and close out the X tasks. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Triaged = Fix Released ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754799 Title: [arrandale] external VGA output doesn't output anything (i686) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/754799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 754799] Re: [arrandale] external VGA output doesn't output anything (i686)
Hi Bryce, We've had a development regarding this bug. I applied a BIOS update for this Toshiba machine, in connection with bug 719620 which was also affecting this system. The versions the machine shipped with were: System BIOS Version: 1.40 (dated 12/13/09) EC Version: 1.30 I downloaded an update that was published on May 25th, 2011. This bumps the BIOS to the following versions, as can be verified in the setup screen accessible by hitting F2: System BIOS Version: 3.10 EC Version: 1.90 With this new BIOS, connecting an external screen when the system is up and running works fine and just as expected: the new screen is detected and immediately starts displaying (starts up as additional desktop space to the right of the primary display). Things go back to normal on the primary display when I disconnect the external screen. This update also made bug 719620 go away, so it looks like the machine, as shipped to us, had quite a buggy BIOS to begin with. So far I've only tried this with Natty (kernel 2.6.38-8), I'll update in a bit with results from Maverick (2.6.35). Please let me know if you'd like me to perform other tests to validate this. I won't touch the bug's status as I'm not sure how to proceed when a bug gets fixed by a BIOS update. Also, please let me know if I should update on the upstream bug as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754799 Title: [arrandale] external VGA output doesn't output anything (i686) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Bryce, the xset trick doesn't seem to work :( here's what I did: 1- Start up the system without the external monitor plugged in. 2- Plug in the monitor, external display shows nothing, but it's visible gnome-display-properties. 3- issue command xset dpms force on. Nothing happens :( the external display still thinks the VGA cable is not connected, BUT the computer thinks the display is connected. Actually I launched a few terminal windows and they all went to the external display (which isn't showing anything so I thought they were failing to start). If I press the terminal icon in the Unity bar, I get an overview of the windows that were sent to the external display but I still can't see them.

[Bug 754799] Re: [arrandale] external VGA output doesn't output anything
Ok, thanks for testing that. Sounds like we can rule out a simple hotkey issue. So it must be a modesetting issue of some sort, either within the kernel's modesetting code itself, or in the driver wrapping the functionality that XRANDR uses. Given that it works when booted with the monitor attached, the latter may be more likely. In either case, we need more detailed logs to do further analysis. 1. Please install 'xdiagnose' and check the checkbox for turning on debugging messages. Reboot your system so this takes effect. 2. Boot first with the monitor disconnected. Once it's up, attach the monitor and run these commands: xrandr --auto --verbose xrandr_bad.txt dmesg dmesg_bad.txt 3. Reboot leaving the monitor attached. Verify it comes up good. Now run these commands again: xrandr --auto --verbose xrandr_good.txt dmesg dmesg_good.txt Attach all four files here (separately, not in a zip file or anything), and we'll see if we can spot the difference. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754799 Title: [arrandale] external VGA output doesn't output anything -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 754799] Re: [Toshiba Tecra A11] external VGA output doesn't output anything
I tried powering on the system with a screen already plugged in. In this case, the BIOS takes the external screen as primary, the boot sequence is visible there, and when starting X, the laptop's internal display becomes the primary, showing the desktop and panel, BUT in this case, the external screen does work as expected. So the issue apparently happens only when plugging in the external display on-the-fly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754799 Title: [Toshiba Tecra A11] external VGA output doesn't output anything -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
