Christopher, no, making the assumption that something may be "fixed" by a BIOS update, which contains no documentation relevant to the issue, is exactly that; an assumption. There is no evidence that suggests a BIOS update would fix something that is not documented in the release notes for the update.
This is a bug report against the Linux kernel, not against the Intel MQ77 BIOS. There is no reason to assume it is a problem with the BIOS. The bug has existed for well over a year now, and assuming that it is going to be magically fixed with a BIOS update is nonsense. The history of the report clearly shows it has been accepted as a valid bug report by upstream (whom as I already stated, is an Intel device driver developer, working for Intel), against the kernel. I am not going to waste time trying to update to a new BIOS and performing the tedious procedure of testing the issue, when there is absolutely zero evidence that it could have any impact on the issue at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021924 Title: 8086:0162 [Intel DQ77MK] Multiple Displays not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1021924/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
