dmesg log when I start the system with a external monitor connected.

Dear all, I have a dell XPS 13 9350, with a external bus DA200. This adapter connects to the USB-C port and provides HDMI, VGA, 1x USB 3 and Ethernet. The usb port and the Ethernet are working correctly. However I am unable to connect a external monitor.

I am using Slackware64-current with the latest 4.4 kernel (rc8).
The dmesg log points to drm intel drivers as the culprit:

Comment 1 Mário Antunes 2016-01-04 17:39:35 UTC

Another bit of information that can be useful to understand the problem.
After i connect the HDMI cable xrandr provides this output

The external monitor is connected to the HDMI port and not to a display port.
If I try to activate the DP1 output the system freezes, if I unplug the external monitor goes back to normal. however, when I run xrandr, this is the output:

It appears that a HDMI2 monitor was unplugged. Finally, a VGA monitor is not detected. The USB-C adapter has a VGA port, but xrandr does not announces any VGA output.

Comment 2 peter.wood 2016-01-21 05:11:23 UTC

I have the same issue, using the same hardware. I am running Arch Linux with the latest mainline kernel (4.4.0). I am happy to help with debugging and testing.

Comment 3 John McCorquodale 2016-01-22 17:59:17 UTC

Same error here, black screen.  It's a Dell UP2414Q which is a 2-tile DP1.2 MTS device, i7-6700K.  The UP2414Q is known to be finicky about sinking; this is an A01 rev of that display, which has fewer problems in that regard than the highly 
dubious A00 rev (i.e. I don't think we can immediately blame the display).  Works okay (at least once) in non-MTS DP1.1 mode as a single 3840x2160 30Hz device.  Happy to be somebody's debug minion; feel free to contact me directly.

Comment 4 peter.wood 2016-01-23 18:05:29 UTC

Just as an update which might help narrow down the problem.
After I upgraded Bios yesterday, VGA input from the USB-C adapter now shows up as DP1.
I am also able to activate external monitor through VGA at 1920x1080.
Still no connection / system freeze if I try to connect via HDMI port.
My external monitor is a 4K monitor (native resolution 3400 x 2160). I think I read somewhere that the adapter (DA200) only supports 2400x1200 ( a lower resolution, anyway). I also read somewhere that the DRM training is implemented so that it probes for higher resolutions first and then goes down. If the Monitor reports that it is able to support a higher resolution than what the adapter can actually support, this might cause the system to hang.
So, unless the code is altered, the only solution seems to be to use a USB-C adapter/dock which is actually able to support the highest resolution the external monitor can display.
My xrandr output with the external monitor connected via VGA(it shows as DP1):

Comment 5 Igor Krivenko 2016-01-28 00:10:40 UTC

I can confirm this (or a similar?) issue with my Dell XPS 13 9350 laptop and a USB-C adapter DA200.

With the latest BIOS update, USB, Ethernet and VGA ports on the adapter work like a charm. A FullHD external monitor connected via HDMI cannot detect input signal. It is remarkable that the same monitor connected to the same laptop through another USB-C-to-HDMI adapter (Cable Matters) works properly.

Here is a fragment of dmesg (Gentoo, the latest kernel 4.4.0):

Maybe, this issue has something to do with 92932.

Could you add drm.debug=14 to your kernel command line and reattach dmesg all the way from boot?

XPS 13 9350 + DA200 adapter: full dmesg with drm.debug=14

Comment 8 Oliver Deppert 2016-02-17 11:59:31 UTC

Hi all,

same problem here. I have a Dell XPS 15 9550 (late 2015 model, latest Feb 2016 bios version). Gentoo system with kernel 4.4.0-gentoo-r1. Currently I'm using the iGPU config, so no "optimus" for the dCPU nvidia. Just the i915 kernel driver with modesetting.

I have attached one HDMI monitor directly to the notebook (works), the second one is connected via HDMI over USB-C/Thunderbolt adapter Dell DA200 (doesn't work).

The second monitor is detected correctly, but as soon as I plug in the monitor I got a lot of kernel messages (see attachment). 

So, while switching between different resolutions in XFCE monitor settings, sometimes the second external HDMI monitor comes to life. e.g. 1024x768 works and shows an image. 1920x1080 (the native resolution of the screen) doesn't work. But with 1920x1080@30Hz it again shows up a screen, flickering but at least showing something....same resolution but with 60Hz doesn't work.

I have attached the output of xrandr output for the "working" setup of 1920x1080@30Hz as well as for non-working 1920x1080@60Hz....unfortunatelly, both show the same "settings"...no difference at all. Additionally, the screenshot of the xfce screen setiings are attached...

with kind regards,
Oliver Deppert

Comment 14 Oliver Deppert 2016-02-17 16:14:49 UTC

Hi all,

some updates...In my opinion, the kernel crashes are not related to the HDMI port of the DLA200...I can reproduce the same kernel errors/crashes while a VGA monitor is attached to it.

The error/crash only occurs if a monitor is started/initialized. e.g. just connecting a DLA200 with monitors attached to USB-C doesn't produce the kernel crash.

As soon as the monitor is initialized, e.g. by display settings of XFCE the kernel crashes and leads to the following dmesg (here with VGA port):

The internal HDMI port of the netbook seems to work without any kernel crash.

During boot phase with attached monitors to the DLA200 the kernel crashes immediately, cause framebuffer tries to initialize the attached monitors quite early.

Oliver

Hi,

just some additional test: Booting the notebook with a monitor attached to the "internal" HDMI port (DLA was detached) raises same kernel errors:

Comment 16 Nicolas Pöhlmann 2016-02-17 19:05:53 UTC

This bug isn't restricted to DP monitors or Dell systems, it also occurs running multi-monitor setups with HDMI output only and on multi-monitor setups with 1x DVI-HDMI + 1x HDMI. It happens also at least on systems with i7-6700 processors running latest 4.4.1 kernels.

It was introduced with the (new) Skylake processors. Running same monitors with Haswell processors is/was functioning without any problems.

It seems that there is an error initialising/detecting HDMI/DP monitors and hold this connection stable until first output is available.
As Oliver Deppert stated before it sometimes detecting the displays correctly and output will also be correctly shown. Booting with plugged in multi-monitor setup is functioning 99.9% in our cases, plug-in an additional monitor after system is running or reactivating the monitor after switching the input or if it was turned off only works in ~ 5-15%.
If we run xrandr often enough (sometimes > 25 times), output is recovered and second monitor becomes available. But to make it more worse, detecting the monitor with xrandr doesn't mean that it will output something on it, the connection to the screen can be immediately lost.

And last but not least, running xrandr in a row like "xrandr && xrandr && xrandr && xrandr && xrandr" seems to increase the chance of a successful monitor initialisation. Maybe the driver didn't wait long enough to abort initialisation or a needed value isn't activated/available on the first cycles.

Comment 17 PJ 2016-02-29 14:41:54 UTC

I think there are several things wrong, this is also related to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113121 afaics. I have similar problems, I played with various versions of kernel from 4.4.1 to intel-drm-nightly and for older kernels it often manifests as "ERROR 5.4Gbps rate without HBR2/TPS3 support" which is the closed bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92932 where it was changed to just debug, which masks the issue but does not really solve it. On some kernel versions it shows as DP training failed, on some other it just blanks the display. I think there is something wrong in the way the i915 detects/setsup the DP link.

The DA200 is detected as not supporting TB3 but supporting the 5.4Ghz lane speed. What I find curious though is that i915 uses the 5.4Ghz link for my monitor at 1920x1200@60Hz (which kinda makes sense on single lane given the 154Mhz pixel clock) and so wants to use HBR2 but on windows and mac with same dongle I get the monitor running at 1920x1200@60Hz even when I disable HBR2 on the monitor. So I wondered if the DA200 actually has two 2.7Ghz lanes or something and tried to play with forcing the kernel module to use various bandwidths and number of lanes but without success. For now I can also only get resolutions that fit into single lane at 2.7Ghz (which is 1080i for example or 1080 at 30Hz) as reported by others.

I am attaching dmesg with KMS and DRIVER debug on from the drm-nightly as of 27th Feb. One thing to note about the latest nightly is that once I set the dispaly to some resolution which works and then try to set it to something which doesn't it freezes my computer (and there is no log that is not garbled so can't get the info about what happened much). With older versions it always just blanked the monitor when I was switching multiple times just like it does the first time with nigtly.

Comment 20 lesiehnie 2016-03-09 07:28:19 UTC

I can confirm this issue using the same hardware (Dell XPS 13 9350, Dell DA200) as already mentioned here.

Similar issues occur using the Dell WD15 Thunderbolt dock. While other interfaces (e.g. ethernet) are working, xrandr gives the unreliable output and the HDMI port is not working having the same issues as discussed here.

Comment 21 tranceash 2016-03-17 01:33:54 UTC

Has the latest 4.5 release fixed this issue or this still a problem as I am waiting for my WD15 usb type c dock and will test and provide more feedback

Comment 22 Oliver Deppert 2016-03-19 08:39:49 UTC

Hi,

unfortunately not...same problems with latest 4.5.0 kernel....output on DLA200 only possible with 30Hz; Kernel trace as soon as HDMI monitor is switched on

Both, the DA200 and the WD 15 are not working after applying the latest thunderbolt firmware update on my Dell XPS 13 9350, using the currently latest kernel 4.5.0. Neither the HDMI port nor the Displayport work for the WD 15.

Comment 24 tranceash 2016-03-29 01:45:24 UTC

Can you try the latest 4.6-rc1

Comment 25 tranceash 2016-03-29 04:49:36 UTC

Just confirmed 4.6-rc1 does not fix it kernel hangs

Comment 26 lesiehnie 2016-04-12 19:30:00 UTC

Neither the DA200 nor the WD 15 dock work with kernel 4.5.1, but the situation somehow (coincidently?) changed. I got a kernel OOOOPS but no system hangs. The display port worked with the WD15 at very low resolutions (eg. 1024x768). xrandr with the DA200 showed all possible screen resolutions via HDMI, but I wasn't able to get an image at the screen.

Comment 32 Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 2016-04-21 04:31:53 UTC

FYI, I'm seeing something similar to this even in a Thinkpad T460p

Especially when it comes to the HDMI audio initialization problems:
  snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D2: HDMI: ELD buf size is 0, force 128
  snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D2: HDMI: invalid ELD data byte 0

Using the latest kernel 4.5.2 with the Dell WD15 works now, but still an error is displayed:

Comment 34 lesiehnie 2016-04-21 17:00:28 UTC

Using the Dell XPS 13 9350 with the latest kernel 4.5.2 still is not working with the Dell DA200 adapter. The available modes are shown using xrandr, but the screen stays dark after trying to use one of the available high resolution modes.

Comment 35 lesiehnie 2016-04-22 07:02:41 UTC

The current debian testing (stretch) stock kernel (Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.5.1-1 (2016-04-14)) shows similar results as the 4.5.1 vanilla kernel and does not work for the Dell WD15 and the Dell DA200 together with the XPS 13 9350.

Comment 36 PJ 2016-04-22 07:17:20 UTC

I did testing with several DP dongles and HDMI dongles and monitors with my xps13. The conclusion from that is that everything works fine as long as HBR2 is disabled (either in hardware, some monitors can do that, or in software by manually patching the intel-drm to not check for those speeds). Obviously this greatly limits the maximum resolution and/or the number of monitors one can connect.

I tested with kernels 4.4.3, 4.5.1 and 4.6.0 #201604152200 (nightly). Fully updated TB3 firmware from Dell and everything working fine when I try in windows to go.

Could you try vanilla kernel 4.5.2? The Dell WD 15 works with 4.5.2 also at high resolutions (Dell U2713H Monitor, 2546x1440), an oops message is displayed in the dmesg log after turning off the monitor using xrandr, though. (See comment 33) There was no need to turn off HBR2 to make it work with kernel 4.5.2.

Comment 38 lesiehnie 2016-05-06 14:03:42 UTC

No improvements with vanilla kernel 4.5.3 for the DA200, the WD15 and the TB15.

Comment 39 Thomas Fankhauser 2016-05-24 15:31:34 UTC

I can confirm this bug persists on an XPS 9550 with Arch Linux Kernel 4.5.4-1 and a DA200 adapter. The same monitor works fine using another USB-C to HDMI adapter.

I have changed my screensaver to the old xscreensaver and my problem with
the CPU 100% have gone.

I was using the default screensaver of xubuntu.

Comment 41 Alexandru Calinoiu 2016-05-26 06:48:14 UTC

Any more progress on this, is there a work around available?

Comment 42 tranceash 2016-05-26 07:03:29 UTC

guys can you try the 4.6 mainline kernel and see if the issue is fixed

Comment 43 Alexandru Calinoiu 2016-05-26 08:13:26 UTC

It is scheduled to arrive in my distro at the end of this week (OpenSuse Thumbelweed) will let you guys know how this works.

Comment 44 karlvlam 2016-05-27 19:15:19 UTC

4.6 mainline kernel does not work

xubuntu 16.04

Guys,

It appears that the problem is related to switch the virtual terminal 
when it is in the vt7 and change to another one, like vt8 (it is made 
automatically in the xubuntu new screen saver). You can experiment the 
same results switching to another VT (Ctrl+Alt+FX) and switching back to 
the vt7.

I installed xscreensaver that do not change the VT when it is activated 
and the problema was "solved" (ok, it's not solved, but just not activated)

Regards.

Joel

any update for this issue?

> any update for this issue?

This bug seems to have conflated a number of issues, AFAICS. Here's the original report:

Let's stick to the issue about Skylake USB-C display here. Everyone else, with any other issues, please file new bugs. Thank you.

USB-C support, I'm afraid, is still a work-in-progress. There are patches on the list, but nothing I'd encourage you to try on Skylake at this time. :(

This part is fixed (bug 89055) but should be of no significance to the USB-C problems.

Comment 49 Carlo Abelli 2016-06-19 01:59:20 UTC

Not sure if this adds info, but I'm using a Dell XPS 13 9350 with BIOS version 1.3.3 and Thunderbolt 3 Firmware  2.12.07 ,A03 (issue also was present before the firmware update) and a Dell DA200 adapter. Connecting a screen via the HDMI port on the DA200 fails to produce any output with resolutions above 1400x900 (though resolutions less than or equal to this work). The screen is recognized, and low resolutions succeed. This issue is not present when using the same DA200 with Windows, which does display at any resolution.

The issue is discussed here as well: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1634085#p1634085

Comment 50 Jani Nikula 2016-06-20 09:24:19 UTC

The patches are still a work-in-progress, I'm afraid.

Comment 51 Rien Heuver 2016-06-29 15:32:45 UTC

I'm having the exact same issues: Dell XPS 13 9350, DA200 adapter, connecting a Dell U2515H over HDMI, no screen. Have tried some very recent kernel-rc's and intel-drm-nightlies. Ubuntu 16.04, also tried Fedora 24. Windows works fine for me too.

Comment 52 Birin 2016-07-12 08:55:41 UTC

Hi all,

I'm still having the same issues as the people on this bug. I have a Dell XPS 13 9350 with the DA200. BIOS is updated to 1.4.4 and Thunderbolt firmware is A04 2.16.01.003. The external monitor that I'm trying to use is a Dell U2414H through the HDMI connector on the DA200.
I'm able to get it working for 1280x768 @60Hz but not for 1920x1080 @60Hz. i1920x1080 works but screen flickers. 1920x1080 @30Hz works too but flickering as well.

I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 with kernel '4.4.0-28-generic #47-Ubuntu'.

1920x1080 @60Hz works in Windows 10 with same hardware.

Thanks,

Birin

Comment 53 karlvlam 2016-07-12 09:25:37 UTC

Yes. If you really needs HDMI output now, buy a pure USB C to HDMI adapter can save you lots of works.

Comment 54 Sébastien Deleuze 2016-07-16 14:53:43 UTC

Same issue here with a Dell XPS 13 9350 with 1.4.4 bios and A04 USB-C firmware + Google USB Type-C to DisplayPort Cable (https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_to_displayport_cable).

Comment 55 Bruce Cartland 2016-09-08 12:26:06 UTC

Displayport crash. Dell P2715Q Monitor. Tumbleweed. 4.7.2-1-default kernel.
Works perfectly in Windows 10 (dual boot).

(Repeatedly trying various adapters caused the kde desktop to become "corrupted". From a console login deleting ~/.local/share/kscreen recovered the desktop.)

Comment 58 Alice Ferrazzi 2016-10-21 04:58:14 UTC

same problem for me with kernel 4.7.9 and 4.8.2

the problem present on XPS 13 9350 with a external bus DA200 when connecting with hdmi to a hdmi monitor

vga work

Comment 59 Sébastien Deleuze 2016-10-29 07:38:30 UTC

With latest Fedora 25 preview (kernel 4.8.3-300) and Wayland, there is some progress: my 4K screen display something but is still flickering every minute approximatively.

In logs I can read: [  137.523334] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun

Reminder: I have a Dell XPS 13 9350 with 1.4.4 bios and A04 USB-C firmware + Google USB Type-C to DisplayPort Cable (https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_to_displayport_cable).

Please fix that, on a lot of laptop like mine USB-C is the only way to connect an external monitor. Also on latest kernel there is "just" the flickering to fix, so I guess we are not very far from getting that working correctly.

Comment 60 Mads 2016-10-29 07:48:36 UTC

Hm.. I'm using a 4k monitor with such a cable with a drm-intel-nightly kernel from last week, and that works fine (dell xps 15 9550).. I've experienced power well issues in dmesg if I boot the laptop with the monitor connected during boot though, that's a bit annoying.

My dell had backlight flickering issues too, but that was bios related..

Comment 61 Sébastien Deleuze 2016-10-29 08:20:59 UTC

I just upgraded to 4.8.4-301 kernel and there seems to be less flickering (I think I saw one during 15 minutes).

Comment 62 François Guerraz 2016-11-19 14:17:00 UTC

I know it probably won't help the developers but just to avoid users wasting their time, the latest 4.9.0-rc5-intel-drm-nightly-gaccd56d (2016-11-19) on Dell XPS 9350 does NOT fix the issue

Comment 63 Jani Saarinen 2016-12-09 08:50:46 UTC

Please check with latest kernel is better.

Comment 64 François Guerraz 2016-12-10 04:35:34 UTC

What branch?

Comment 65 Stepan Sigut 2016-12-12 09:41:23 UTC

latest intel drm nightly kernel (4.9.0-994) does not fix the problem

Comment 66 Mads 2016-12-12 10:29:42 UTC

Tested drm-intel-nightly f6a248e2507f98d7eb1f4fec8cfcbf685a33d289 (4.9.0-rc8+), and the DA200 dongle still can't output high resolutions yet. XPS 15 9550.

Are there any new CONFIG options in the kernel we should make sure are enabled? USB-C-stuff?

Why does USB-C -> DP work, but not USB-C -> DA200 -> HDMI? Are they not related at all? (I'm typing this on a 4k monitor connected through USB-C with a USB-C -> DP-dongle on the aforementioned XPS 15)

There are none. That's really the problem. There is no USB-C driver/framework which could tell us how the cable is configured to carry DP.

The number of required/used lanes may differ between the cases, and the cables may be configured to use a different number of lanes for DP in each case. That could explain why low resolution might work and high resolution might not (low res needs fewer lanes). dmesgs (w/ drm.debug=0xe) from both low and high res use cases on the bad dongle using a recent kernel could help prove that.

If you want to try a hideous hack, this might also help prove whether the number of used lanes is part of the problem:

dmesg drm.debug=0xe from drm-intel-nightly 4.9.0-rc8+ after plugging da200 and setting 1920x1080

Comment 70 Mads 2016-12-12 11:39:29 UTC

Strange thing is.. I saw nothing in dmesg when I plugged in the DA200 dongle first, although it worked. I connected it to an old CRT monitor that defaults to 1024x768 (through HDMI by using an adapter). The output from da200_after1920x1080.log was after plugging the dongle and then running xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080.

I applied your patch before doing all this.

Comment 71 Mads 2016-12-12 11:47:50 UTC

Your patch also made it impossible to choose 3840x2160@60Hz through USB-C -> DP, it maxes out at 30Hz. But I guess this is expected.

Comment 72 Mads 2016-12-12 11:51:52 UTC

Forgot to mention that 1920x1080 did not work this time either, but 1024x768 worked as usual.

Comment 73 Mads 2016-12-13 14:14:46 UTC

Someone else should verify this, but isn't the case that both on the thunderbolt dock WD15 and on the dongle DA200, the HDMI out does not work on high resolutions?

With WD15 at least I have to use the DisplayPort connector on the dock, I can't output high resolutions with the HDMI port on the dock (it's been a little while since I tested this, though).

I would guess that both the WD15 and the DA200 has got the same issue, but it isn't such a big deal with the WD15 because you've got DP on it.

> Someone else should verify this, but isn't the case that both on the thunderbolt dock WD15 and on the dongle DA200, the HDMI out does not work on high resolutions?

Confirmed. I use the DA200 (which doesn't have DP, only HDMI) and can only output to screens with <1080p resolution with all kernels so far on Ubuntu Xenial and FC24 + FC25 (right now on 4.8.13). VGA output works.

I think this issue is related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94567#c27.

Comment 75 Jani Nikula 2016-12-13 14:49:52 UTC

IIUC the DA200 only supports up to 2048x1152 over HDMI. See "Tech Specs" at [1].

Comment 76 Rien Heuver 2016-12-13 21:50:58 UTC

The tech specs might say they only work up to a certain resolution, but then the tech specs are wrong. Because the DA200 works fine on Windows (10) with a 2560x1440 resolution.

At 60 Hz?

Comment 78 Mads 2016-12-14 19:15:54 UTC

I'm just interjecting, but the dongle doesn't work even at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz, so I don't know how relevant it is how it works on 2560x1440... maybe because of lanes?

Comment 79 Dimitrios Liappis 2016-12-21 12:38:04 UTC

> the dongle doesn't work even at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz

Confirmed, this is what I was referring at when mentioning earlier that the only thing that works for me in Linux with the DA200 are screens <1080p resolution. For example the dongle works on 1680x1050@60Hz panels for me as discussed in: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94567#c29.

Anything higher than that, like 1920x1080 @ 60Hz doesn't work for me though (which works fine on Windows 10).

Comment 80 s.illes79 2017-01-04 23:09:45 UTC

is this related to thi: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99137 

In short, when I use USB-C to HDMI adaptor it only ever worked when I connected it via HDMI to DVI, if I use HDMI to HDMI cable I get either black screen or some weird colours ...

Comment 81 Dimitrios Liappis 2017-01-09 09:07:47 UTC

> when I use USB-C to HDMI adaptor it only ever worked when I connected it via HDMI to DVI

I double checked a Dell XPS-13 with a DA-200 dongle, supplying a 22" 1920x1080 monitor over DVI using an HDMI->DVI adapter on the DA-200; no change compared to native HDMI, no output displayed what-so-ever.

1) Never use VGA if you can avoid it, it's an analog signal and is subject to interference and noise.
2) Full HD doesn't work through VGA either (with DA200).
3) Just get a dongle that has DisplayPort. A USB-C -> DisplayPort dongle can output at 4k @ 60Hz, so that will work nicely. The DA200 dongle does not have DisplayPort, unfortunately.

How can I get that into my system to test it out? Is there .deb package for ubuntu for that?

Comment 87 smz 2017-02-03 22:48:18 UTC

I think I'm having a related problem. I have a laptop (Dell Precision 5510) with two graphics cards (nvidia and Intel):

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Skylake Integrated Graphics (rev 06)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] (rev a2)

The Intel GPU is currently the one in use.

This laptop has a 4K display, and I have two external monitors (1920x1080) connected via a USB-C docking station. The docking station has both a DisplayPort and an HDMI port, which is how the monitors are connected. I've set the laptop monitor to 1920x1080 since my desktop environment doesn't support different DPIs on different monitors.

Frequently, when I plug or unplug the USB-C docking station, the whole machine just hangs. I can't change to a tty, and I have to hard reset to use the machine again.

When the machine freezes, similar looking kernel messages are left in the log:

I will attach a more complete log with the above error.

I'm running Linux Mint MATE 18.1, currently with kernel version 4.4.0-62-generic. I have tried using the nVidia GPU instead (with the official nvidia driver package, version 378.09), but the machine still freezes with similar Intel-related kernel errors. I will attach a log for this too.

Is this the same bug? If so, can I do anything about it? Thanks.

Comment 95 Mads 2017-02-21 11:18:41 UTC

Tested DP MST with a fresh drm-tip today (commit 0a03ea9496b49746b4964d05cc1f483385d1df8a), and it seems like daisy chaining triggers the same kind of behaviour as with the DA200 dongle, so maybe the error is related.

When Daisy chaining two Dell U2715H monitors through DisplayPort, the last monitor in the chain cannot get a resolution higher than the range previously mentioned here (1024x768 works, 1600x1200 does not, 1920x1080 does not).

Comment 96 Mads 2017-03-01 09:35:59 UTC

With so many users having bought Dell XPS computers because of its good Linux support, it is a bit weird that this issue is not fixed yet.

Surely there must be someone at Intel interested in making sure that Linux actually is a viable option for those who need HDMI out over USB-C, and daisy chaining monitors over USB-C? This issue is over one years old now :(

The Dell DA200 dongle requires clock recovery M and N values to be transmitted as < 16 bit values. Reducing the M and N values to 16 bit values from the i915 allow the DA200 to sync to the data link.

Comment 99 Mads 2017-03-17 09:31:14 UTC

I'd be more that willing to test a patch/git branch here!

Would be extremely nice if my DA200 suddenly became useful :)

It just dawned on me that I tested this through a Dell WD15 docking, maybe DP MST works if you don't use that (maybe the WD15 got the same data link issue as DA200).

I got a standard non-Dell USB-C to DP dongle that I know works with 4k @ 60Hz, I can try if DP MST works with that on monday.

My suspicions were correct, with a standard non-dell USB-C to DP dongle, DP MST works like a charm. Writing this reply with two Dell U2715H monitors connected, both with 2560x1440@60Hz.

So, making DA200 work with Linux might fix lots of docking issues :)

Comment 102 Mads 2017-03-23 09:34:22 UTC

Just to add to that, with DP out on my Dell WD 15 docking, I cannot get over 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz on a 4k monitor. Tried 3840x2160 at these vertical refresh rates: 30.00, 25.00, 24.00, 29.97, 23.98, but none of them worked.

I really hope this is basically the same issue, and that a fix for DA200 also will fix this too...

If DA200 is not involved in your setup, please do file new bugs instead of hollering "me too" here. It's *much* easier to resolve bugs as duplicates than detangle a bug with multiple issues. Thank you.

It works! Thank you very much. Got a full HD screen connected to my XPS 13 / DA200 via HDMI.

Comment 106 Rien Heuver 2017-03-23 14:35:44 UTC

That's great news! From what I understand (and my knowledge on this is limited), using this patch requires to recompile the kernel. Any tips on acquiring this fix without having to do that? What's the estimated schedule for this fix appearing in a kernel mainline build for example? Any ideas are welcome, but either way it's great to hear this issue is getting fixed :).

I had the same question...is DKMS a possibility?

Comment 108 Jani Nikula 2017-03-23 14:42:05 UTC

The patch is currently in review. It's a workaround, and it impacts all DP sinks, not just the problematic ones. Thus, we need to be careful about merging it, and extra careful about backporting it to stable kernels.

If we agree on the approach of the patch, I expect it would be included in v4.11. I expect the release will be in about a month or so.

Comment 109 François Guerraz 2017-03-23 14:46:04 UTC

If you're running on Arch (or just want to extract the binaries from the archives, which should be easy) and you're trustful and adventurous, you can refer to my other post on Arch forums [1] and download the kernel I've compiled with this patch.

Comment 110 Mads 2017-03-23 14:52:47 UTC

It works here too with my DA200, fantastic work :)

Sorry for spamming up the bug report. HDMI out on my WD15 docking works now too, but I think it did so before too...

I don't even know if you're supposed to be able to run 4k @ 60Hz through a WD15 docking... If it is, I guess I'll have to write another bug report.

Again, thanks for finally fixing this!

FWIW, as noted in comment #98, the bug is really in the dongle, and the patch is a workaround.

I see in the linked thread there that you are thinking of limiting the fix to this specific device. So I want to say that I seen it in other devices too (mostly noname tb3 to hdmi or displayport cables). But for example the cable I am using how has multiple lanes so while it can't do 5.4 on one lane in linux, it can do HD resolution because of multiple lanes as long as I disable the higher speed support in my display (otherwise it goes bonkers under linux too).

I tried to build a DKMS module with the patch from (#103). Ubuntu 16.10, kernel 4.10.3. 

Downloaded the source for that ubuntu kernel, grabbed the i915 code, applied the patch, and then dkms add, build, and install. dkms status said it was all successful, but even after reboot it didn't seem to make any difference.

Just looking for a sanity check before I spend too much time on this: should DKMS work for this type of driver?

They are possibly using the same chip as DA200.

I undid your first patch and then patched only the first hunk, and my DA200 still works nicely at 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz :)

Second patch works with DA200 as well, applied only the first hunk.

Thanks! works for me now too...I was so close, my dkms.conf wasn't quite right. Ubuntu 16.10, kernel 4.10.3.

I'm seeing some weird background ghosting from dragging windows on the HDMI display though. Very minor issue, not sure if it's related. Links to screenshots:

Rien Heuver, I suggest that you proceed like Lev Popov on Comment #120 using dkms (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support)

- you have to get kernel source for your Ubuntu via apt-get (package manager),
- download Jani's patch,
- use dkms with the applied patch to finally build and install on your system,
- finally reboot :)

Once you have uncompressed/unpacked the kernel source, the source code folder should be /usr/src/linux-source-4.8.0/ and the i915 component is located in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/
Therefore the full path should be: /usr/src/linux-source-4.8.0/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/

Comment 129 Rien Heuver 2017-03-28 09:33:23 UTC

@yann thanks, I got to do that now. It now crashes on the build command with this in the make.log:
/var/lib/dkms/i915_bpo/usbc/build/intel_pm.c:32:45: fatal error: ../../../platform/x86/intel_ips.h: No such file or directory
I don't know what the sed-command exactly does, but should I have changed something in there? The file intel_ips.h exists in linux-sources-4.8.0/drivers/platform/x86 (fyi). I feel like I'm very close to using my new monitor :P.

here sed is allowing you to do some string substitution automatically:
it replaces all occurrences of ../../drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.h string by ../../linux-source-4.4.0/drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.h

in intel_pm.c file.

However, in you case, you are not using 4.4.0 kernel and the #include is not ../../drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.h  but ../../../platform/x86/intel_ips.h 
so the corresponding sed command line for a 4.8.0 kernel should be:
 sed -i 's#../../../platform/x86/intel_ips.h#../../linux-source-4.8.0/drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.h#g' intel_pm.c

but of course it depends where your files / folders are located

Comment 131 Rien Heuver 2017-03-28 13:46:37 UTC

@yann I tried that, but now it gave me the following error:
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for i915_bpo: usbc not found
Error!  Build of i915_bpo.ko failed for: 4.8.0-41-generic (x86_64)
I looked in the make.log again, but that didn't show any errors (it starts with entering /usr/src/linux-headers-<version> end it ends with leaving that directory).
I can't really figure out what's going wrong here, so help would once again be greatly appreciated.

Comment 132 Lev Popov 2017-03-28 13:50:34 UTC

i915_bpo is a driver backported to 4.4.0. For 4.8.0 you should replace all occurrences of i915_bpo to just i915, also add this line to dkms.conf:
BUILT_MODULE_NAME="i915"

I regret to ask you, but everyone please stick to diagnosing, debugging and fixing the bug the bug at hand. This is a bug report, not a discussion forum on how to build distro specific kernels. The more there are comments, the longer it takes for developers to get at the crux of the issues, and the more likely it is that the important comments are overlooked. Thank you for your understanding.

    drm/i915/dp: reduce link M/N parameters

As I wrote in the patch notes, 

"This is cc: stable material, but due to the slight risk of regressions
(there's always the risk, however small, when you change parameters that
affect all sinks) I'd prefer letting this simmer for a while, and asking
for an explicit stable backport afterwards."

I am hesitant to immediately queued this for v4.11-rc, as the change affects all machines that have DP or FDI and Intel graphics. We need to give it more time in our upstream trees first. This will land upstream v4.12-rc1 at the latest.

Please take your unwarranted vitriol elsewhere. The bug is in the dongle firmware, and we worked around the issue in our driver to cater for it.

You should also add BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="i915" to dkms.conf or dkms will be unable to rebuild the module on the next upgrade.

Comment 145 Roberto C. Sánchez 2017-04-06 17:01:22 UTC

I just tried this patch on Debian Stretch with Linux 4.9 and it worked.  The only differences were the directory for the kernel source (4.9 instead of 4.8), the placement of the i915 directory in the kernel source, and I had to adjust the patch to account for the different kernel source directory for the location of the header.

Nice work and thanks to everyone who was involved in getting the work around put together.

Today 4.12.5 became available for Fedora-26 (4.12.5-300.fc26.x86_64) and I tested the DA-200 Dell dongle for the XPS-13 9350 with an external display and it worked fine.

Thank you for your work on this.

Comment 149 Daniele Albrizio 2017-09-06 22:52:13 UTC

Well, I'm sorry, but new ubuntu kernels did not fix the DA200 behaviour in my case (I use a Samsung B523WS monitor and dell XPS 13) i tried kernel_upgrade_4_13_rc4 and the new   kernel_upgrade_4_13, but the result is a plethora of syslog failures and blank screen on samsung monitor.

When I connect the dongle I get this messages:
https://pastebin.com/L6DsVDhq

When I connect the HDMI cable I get this messages:
https://pastebin.com/0wpn6rZy

The main error seems to be:
 [drm:intel_dp_get_link_train_fallback_values [i915]] *ERROR* Link Training Unsuccessful

This is the xrandr output:

Hello Albrizio, if the newer kernel fixed the problem for the others, it may be that you problem is something different. Try with https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-tip branch, and try to locate the root-cause for your particular case. If problem persist please open a new bug with HW and SW information and relevant logs. Thank you.

Yup, please file a new bug, don't reopen this one. And please *attach* the logs, in plain text, to the bug, and don't use external pastebins.

Comment 153 Roberto De Renzi 2018-03-08 18:49:32 UTC

I have a related but distinct problem with Ubuntu 16.04 on Dell XPS 13 9360, with BIOS 2.2.1. Similarly to other cases in this closed & fixed thread the issue is on the USB-C HDMI output, used as an external monitor in dual head configuration. 

However in my case the output does work, but only erratically. When it works, like now, it is perfect, as per the xrandr output below. But many times it does not and the monitor enters sleep mode. Sometimes it is sufficient to unplug and plug in again the HDMI cable, but sometimes neither cable, nor X relaunch, forcing xrandr by

  xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
  xrandr --addmode DP-1 "1920x1080_60.00"
  xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080_60.00

playing with Screen Display or reboot are effective. In a fraction of cases the monitor turns on spontaneously again after a few hours. 
Any suggestion or question welcome! Thanks a lot.

@Roberto De Renzi

This particular bug is characterized and now closed.

Please file a new bug.  Make it clear in your new bug which HDMI adapter you're using (It sounds like DA200 since you came here), which kernel version you're using, if you've reproduced this on the drm tip branches, etc.

Thanks for understanding.
