git blame (recursively) and git log on intel_hdmi.c will tell you the story. I require all these extensive git commit messages because I dig them out daily. Also git log --pickaxe (well I use the equivalent in the gitk gui). If these tools are generally unknown in the vpg display team then we absolutely need to do a training session about them, they're extremely powerful and useful to dig out the history of the i915 code. > >a) we do something wrong with hpd handling on these platforms.

I don't think it's ivb specific, since we do have ivb machines where hpd works perfectly fine. Same for every other platform. The only thing which seems common is that DP+ connectors work, but some of the hdmi-only connectors fail. That's why I wondered whether there's something i915 does different than the windows driver. In case you can get hold of one, the broken laptop I have here is an Asus UX31A with ivb. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
