I don't think the bug is critical in any way. Personally I don't have more than slight issues with it. I think you should leave it to get fixed for real. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu.

Alright. On some other similar bugs to this one people are indicating that the drm-intel-next-proposed kernel does indeed fix it. However, we're far from narrowing down what specific patch is needed. I am pretty sure your bug is the same as theirs. I will dupe these together. If you have time

a. When I installed your patched driver and the laptop lid was _open_ it worked fine(!): I got the desktop showing on the external monitor as expected. The odd thing is that with the laptop lid closed I still get a blank external monitor... b. I couldn't even boot with that kernel. -- You

Thanks for looking into this (minor) problem. No, it does not restore the blanked screen. In fact I'm not sure how far in the booting process it gets: When I close (or open, depending on the current state) the laptop lid I get a pointer at the (external) screen but nothing else. I'll attach a

Thanks feffemannen, Would you mind checking if the following command restores the blanked monitor after reproducing the problem? xset dpms force on I'm wondering if this is just a dpms setting issue. I have an idea on how we could workaround it if it is. ** Changed in:
