The second screen works fine with the attached patch. It actually is
6 months old but seems to have been lost in the wild...
Thanks Benjamin!
There is still the issue of unhandled acer-wmi events, but it's far
less incapacitating. I wonder what's the best way to report events to
userspace, though (e.g. for the "keyboard" button, userspace might
want to know when it is pressed in order to display a virtual keyboard
or any other fancy stuff)
Joey, if you need more logs for acer-wmi, I'll be happy to provide.

Original patch by Chris Wilson [1], here slightly adapted for the latest tree.
[1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=49069
We were checking whether the supplied edid matched the connector it was
read from. We do this in case a DDC read returns an EDID for another
device on a multifunction or otherwise interesting card. However, we
failed to include LVDS as a digital device and so rejecting an otherwise
valid EDID.
Fixes the detection of the secondary SDVO LVDS panel on the Libretto
W105.

No, with the patch, it worked out-of-the-box. I can even control the brightness in `/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' (it affects both displays at the same time though).

[Dual-LVDS Acer Iconia laptop] i915/DRM issue: one screen stays off [3.2-rc4+]
Hi, I've got a lot of troubles with a dual-LVDS Acer laptop (it doesn't have a keyboard, but two displays with touchscreens) The Intel GPU is integrated into the Core i5-480M CPU: it's a bit older than Sandybridge, as it seems to be based on the Arrandale micro-architecture. In the BIOS, both displays work fine; but as soon as the kernel boots up, the second display (i.e. the one where you usually find a keyboard) is turned off. The main display works as expected. xrandr reports two LVDS displays: LVDS1, which is connected, and LVDS2, which is marked as "disconnected". No matter what I tried, I can't bring that second display up. During the boot, just after the drm is set up, the following message shows up: [drm:intel_dsm_pci_probe] *ERROR* failed to get supported _DSM functions (attached is the relevant part of dmesg [1]) I then tried booting with "video=LVDS-2:e". The same message shows up while booting, with these two following: [drm:drm_crtc_helper_set_config] *ERROR* failed to set mode on [CRTC:4] fbcon_init: detected unhandled fb_set_par error, error code -22 (attached is the relevant part of dmesg [2]) With that kernel command line forcing LVDS2, the "drm_crtc_helper_set_config" error shows up each time I switch tty; additionally, X does not want to start anymore (spewing out the aforementioned error multiple times before giving up) I'm currently using the latest 3.2 kernel from linus' tree (af968e29acd91ebeb4224e899202c46c93171ecd), but the behavior was similar with a vanilla 3.1.2. Other notes about this issue: - with an Ubuntu 2.6.35 kernel, the second display is on but flickering (with the picture distorted like an old analog TV...). The main display is working fine, as always. - with an Archlinux 2.6.37.5 kernel, the behavior is the same as with 3.2, the main display is ok and the second one is off. - I did succeed, only once and out of pure luck, to get the second screen to work with the 3.1.2 kernel. I haven't been able to reproduce that... I had booted with "video=LVDS-2:e" and let the laptop running ; pressing a key a few hours later turned back *both* displays on (the main display had been turned off by DPMS, and the second, well, was off from the start, as always) While not very helpful, it shows that it's definitely possible. - there are a some unhandled WMI events logged from the acer-wmi module [3] when closing the lid, opening it, and most importantly, when the (main) screen is turned on or off by DPMS. What do you think? I haven't really succeeded in nailing the source of the issue down, but here are a few possibilities I'm thinking of: - the driver is not aware it can drive two LVDS displays (not very likely, and it has worked once, see above) - there is some kind of switch that is able to turn the second screen on or off (I'm thinking of something like rfkill). If so, it looks like something non-standard and undocumented. This would explain the WMI events (see the last note above) - buggy ACPI implementation. I tried to extract then recompile the DSDT [4], and iasl spews out 17 errors and 12 warnings. Also worth noticing is that line in dmesg: "pci:00: ACPI _OSC request failed (AE_ERROR), returned control mask: 0x1d" The Archlinux userland is: - libdrm 2.4.27 - xorg-server 1.11.2 - intel-dri 7.11.1 - xf86-video-intel 2.17.0 Please let me know if there are any other details I should provide.
