** Description changed: + [Impact] + xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.904 adds support for virtual displays that can be used to clone to discrete outputs. The tool to do this is included with the xserver-xorg-video-intel source (with not-so-great man - page and all), but the binary is currently not shipped by Ubuntu. + page and all), but the binary is currently not shipped by Ubuntu trusty, + despite being built. It is shipped in utopic and later. The tool will allocate a virtual output for the specified outputs on a different X server (or for all outputs with the -a parameter). It will also copy over resolution information etc from xrandr. You can then use your desktop environment's display tool to configure these external displays the way you would normally do in a non-hybrid situation. + + Since the trusty release is LTS, this bug qualifies for SRU status "to + enable new hardware," or rather, newly supported at the time of the + trusty release. + + [Test Case] + + 1) Install the package. + 2) Attempt to execute /usr/bin/intel-virtual-output in a shell. + + [Regression Potential] + + Absolutely none. + + [Other Info] + + The intel-gpu-tools package is the only reverse dependency, and that + package has no reverse dependencies in turn.
