[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1635906] Re: Low graphics mode in multi monitor setup after upgrade to 16.10
I was able to permanently (I hope) fix the problem. After reading around, examining system files, logs and a lot of guesswork, I noticed that /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d had amdgpu configuration along a bunch of others but no intel. So I tried to find a sample file on the web and created (as root) 20-intel.conf containing: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" EndSection rebooted, and a miracle happened! It loaded with both external monitors working again! Lost the configuration though, but after redoing monitor arrangement etc and rebooting again it was all good. I hope this helps someone.

Hi Paolo. Glad to hear you managed to resolve the issue! Did not work for me though. Also there seems to be some progress done. I tried fresh install with downloading latest updates and this time it went as far as splash screen on both external monitors, but then all the same. Flickering and eventually bumping to low graphics mode.

Hi! At last I... SOLVED!!! Before I saw: http://askubuntu.com/questions/436374/how-to-get-rid-of-the-gallium-0-4 -on-llvmpipe-llvm-0x300-driver-intel-needed ...then I saw: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack ...later, on a terminal, I've run: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video- all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa- lts-xenial ...and, after a restart, my PC returned to work with the correct "Intel® Sandybridge Desktop" instead of "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe..."! I hope that it can help you.

Hi, I have done some further investigation and these are my results: - Clean install of Ubuntu 16.10: No luck - Clean install of Ubuntu Gnome: - GNOME and GNOME Classic (I believe) sessions - same result, although it managed to reach login screen. But once I type in the password and hit enter, both screens flicker and I am bumped back to login screen as if I never logged in. No error messages, nothing. - GNOME sessions with only one external monitor connected to the dock station. In either case all was good and I was able to log in etc. - GNOME on Wayland: DID ACTUALLY WORK! So, I moved my system to that GNOME session for the time being. Good for a change too :) Regards, isotope. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635906 Title: Low graphics mode in multi monitor setup after upgrade to 16.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1635906/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
