Moved from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59841

"Not sure if this is relevant or a different bug, but when booting to CSM mode with one or two external monitors (in which case there's no image in the internal monitor), occasionally I can't get past the login screen. Kernel log from the latest case of this kind of failure:

"" but is there *anyone* here for whom the CSM or legacy mode *fails*? "

See comment 137, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59841#c137 - I've seen that several times, but it didn't happen always. Could be it fails on only external dislay and possibly even always on external, but not sure. I'm compiling current git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel to see what happens with it."

Dmesg Asus TX300 CSM with patch 110101 and quirk & mod param patches

Here's a dmesg from drm-intel git tree with patch 110101 and my quirk & mod param patches applied.

While the version works fine on UEFI, in CSM mode there's no image on the internal display when an external monitor is connecte, and I can't log in even with the external display. I reported a similar (maybe the same) issue in comment 137."

IIUC, this happens with the otherwise working drm-intel-nightly + CSM combo too? Please file a new bug about this on DRM/Intel at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI

We can't tackle all of these in one bug."
Comment 1 jkp 2013-10-04 10:39:44 UTC 
Lately at least, it seems the bug appears consistently, thought the timing of when it appears varies somewhat - sometimes before selecting user name, sometimes when typing password. (distrib a recent Ubuntu)
Comment 2 jkp 2013-10-04 10:42:23 UTC 
One time I decided to see if I can get X started after logging in to text console, and I did get X started from text console with "startx".

For the Asus TX300 this is not not IMHO a big priority once bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59841 is fixed to make UEFI mode work properly, but could be for other machines this may be more important, don't know.
Comment 3 Jani Nikula 2013-10-04 11:21:32 UTC 
Presumably on some machines we can't light up the edp panel if the BIOS hasn't done that before. I assume booting with the external display connected makes BIOS not light up the panel. OTOH if the BIOS has enabled the panel, we can disable/enable it any number of times. That's the assumption anyway.

jkp, does the flat panel work if you boot TX300 in UEFI mode with external monitor connected? (With the w/a patch from the kernel.org bug.)
Comment 5 jkp 2013-10-18 14:25:42 UTC 
Yes, it works fine with external monitor in UEFI mode.
Comment 6 Rodrigo Vivi 2014-10-08 22:20:56 UTC 
Is it still happening with newer kernel? (preferably with latest drm-intel-nightly)
Comment 7 Jesse Barnes 2014-12-10 20:33:15 UTC 
Timing out on this one.  Hopefully it's long since fixed.
