To make DP work for me, I am using packages from the xorg-updates PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu
along with a direct git checkout from the display-port branch of xf86-video-intel: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel The most recent display-port commit (May 7) does not seem to work with anything in x-updates. I reset to commit 8fd7fc619273316143257ae1a56fce86c00051b1 from April 30th and everything seems stable for me. I built the intel driver using './autogen.sh && make && sudo make install' which puts the modules in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers by default. I put the following in xorg.conf to make sure those drivers get loaded: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection Be sure to remove that section if you ever switch to a packaged driver! I gave up trying to get KMS (kernel mode setting) and DisplayPort working together. It appears that the necessary code is only just being merged into the mainline kernel: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/24/19 As such, make sure you aren't using KMS if you want to take my approach. It can probably be made to work using some kernel branch but I ran out of time to mess with that. I'd like to know if someone else gets it working. -- [G45] No DisplayPort support in -intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
