Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.9.1-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
With the update to 2.9.1-2 (I believe from the version _before_ 2.9.1-1, but I
can't be sure), using an external display (projector or monitor) is no longer
possible, because the external display (only, not the LVDS display in my X40
Thinkpad) does not update correctly. It's a bit difficult to describe the
symptom; if nothing at all changes on either display, then both screens
display what they ought to; however, any change in the displayed graphics
(for example, by moving the mouse cursor, or going from one slide to the next)
causes of the order of one or two seconds of garbled output on the external
display before it settles down.
I suspect the upgrade of this package is at fault, but I can't actually verify
that; I tried turning off KMS in /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf, but that gives
me a blank screen on boot.
Please let me know if there's any thing else I should try to help resolve this.
Best,
Christophe
