Bug#627568: [xserver-xorg-video-nouveau] Dual head problem: Flicker on 2nd monitor using GeForce 8500 GT
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just as a little bit of extra info:- I think there is a problem with the reading of the EDID on the 2nd graphics card output with the nouveau driver on this nVidia card. I tried a much more modern monitor in the 2nd output and there was still no reading of the EDID. (I ran: xrandr --prop ) The drm_kms_helper.poll=0 kernel parameter still fixed the blinking. The primary output on my card is a standard VGA connector. This 2nd output (physically) is a DVI-I output running in analogue mode. I use an adapter to change the connection to VGA as I don't have a monitor with a connector of any type other than VGA. I don't know if this adapter has a bearing on the monitor's ability to report its EDID to the card?

Do you also see it if you connect only the DVI monitor? Yes, if the primary monitor is disconnected, leaving only the 2nd one the blinking was still present. The 2nd monitor is a fairly old IIyama Vision Master Pro 452. It always used to be a bit funny with the old nv driver, although I have to say, the Nvidia proprietary driver never gave a problem with this old monitor. On the other hand, using xrandr is much more configurable and sensible than Nvidia's silly twinview setup. ;-) Removing the Nvidia proprietary driver has left my system completely free of non-free and contrib packages! Try booting with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 kernel parameter. That does it! Well done: No more flicker! In case any readers are not familiar with grub2 I edited: /etc/default/grub thus: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet drm_kms_helper.poll=0 and ran (as root) update-grub2 then rebooted.

Bug#431032: xserver-xorg-video-i810: LCD won't turn off when docked, on Dell laptop
Hi Brice, Upgrading to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-5 did not solve the problem directly, but the xrandr program did! (I didn't try xrandr before upgrading, so the upgrade may not have actually been required). Anyhow I'm quite happy with the result. Two questions:- 1) How could I automate the xrandr process on boot? 2) Can I use the laptop screen + CRT as a dual display setup when the laptop is docked? (I think I probably can't as the output is not dual headed) Thanks! -- Guy Stand up for freedom: Switch to GNU/Linux.

Would I be able to use dpkg to install xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-5 in isolation, without having to go ape and move up to sid? Yes, right now, I don't think there is any sid dependency required to install this experimental package. So just take it from ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel and dpkg -i foo.deb should work fine.

Subject: xserver-xorg-video-i810: LCD won't turn off when docked on Dell laptop Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810 Version: 2:2.0.0-1 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** I use a docking station for my laptop: a Dell Latitude D610. Since a apt-get upgrade of the X server the sensor that detects when the lid is down does not function and the LCD screen is on all the time, event when the lid is closed. I tried using Fn + f8 and the program i810switch to force the LCD off, but to no avail. The effects of this are:- 1) The CRT I attach to the docking station runs at the resolution of the LCD display - very flickery and annoying and low-res. 2) The LCD display never shuts off even when the lid is closed on the laptop. The X server tries briefly to run at the resolution specified in the xorg.conf but fails and falls back to the default LCD spec - 1024 X 768 This used to work fine before the upgrade! -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-i810 depends on: ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-1 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx xserver-xorg-video-i810 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
