Title:
Thinkpad x220 - Unable to use 2560x1440 external display connected via
DisplayPort due flashing black screen
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a fresh install of 18.10 on an old Thinkpad x220. Everything
works fine with the internal display or an external Dell G2410
(1920x1080) connected via VGA. But when I try to switch to an external
BenQ PD2710QC (2560x1440) I only see the screen for a few seconds at a
time and then it flashes to black. This happens consistently for
minutes--it never "settles down".
I've tried the default configuration as well as copying xorg.conf from
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel into /etc/x11. I've tried both
xorg configurations with nomodeset in the bootloader and without. I
have not been able to find any configuration that allows this external
DisplayPort display to work.
The same hardware combination works fine in Windows 10.
