Linux 2.6.34-rc3 has a fix, quoting ykzhao: ---- Now the mechanism of LVDS detection by using LID status is abandoned in the following commit: >commit 6e6c822868f113dabe3c33bdd91e883cc28fa11b Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Date: Wed Mar 17 13:48:06 2010 -0700 drm/i915: Stop trying to use ACPI lid status to determine LVDS connection. ---- See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15205 I'm not sure if this is related, but when *running* Xorg with external display I get some odd lid-related issues. Basic use case: I connect external monitor (TV with VGA input, actually) to watch some video. I set it as extended desktop (positioning right of LVDS). (XVideo doesn't work and I have to disable compositing or Xorg crashes, but those are different issues). I use resolution 1360x768 for the monitor since it's the native res. The monitor also says it's capable of 1980x1080 (the HDTV resolution), but that's beyond it's capabilities. Anyway, I have bulk of my desktop on LVDS and VGA has basically empty screen. I move the video player to the monitor and close the lid. So far so good. However, when I *open* the lid, LVDS seems to get suddenly disabled (AFTER opening the lid). There's no image. I say this happens after opening since at the same time the resolution on the monitor changes to 1980x1080, so some sort of re-detection of all displays seems to take place. > --- Comment #2 from Antti Mäkelä <zarhan@iki.fi> 2010-08-18 23:58:03 PDT ---

Your userspace is responding to the lid notification and issuing a new
randr probe and tries to enable an invalid configuration. Not a driver
issue per se, but some random application. And please do update your
-intel driver to have working XV and RENDER on extended desktops.
Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid. Please file a new report if you continue to experience issues with a current server. |
