dmesg

-------------------------------------------------
==Bug detailed description==
--------------------------------------------------
When script test start for testing display, screen only show some resolutions and after that send a blank screen.
If you disconnect and connect the DP from platform, the video works again.

This happen with configuration (mini DP to DP) + (DP to DP) with monitor 4K and a MST dongle "sunix"

-------------------------------------------------
==Steps to reproduce==
--------------------------------------------------
1. Connect platform to DP using required dongle
2. Turn device ON
3. Enter in text mode and login with your credentials
4. run test "testdisplay -a" or "testdisplay -t"  or "testdisplay -d 16" or "testdisplay -d 24"

--------------------------------------------------
==Actual results==
--------------------------------------------------
Platform only show some resolutions and then send a blank screen.
dmeg shows some linktrainning issues and some FIFO undergrounds: 
[drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun

-------------------------------------------------
==Expected results==
--------------------------------------------------
Script should start testing IGT and resolutions tested should not have corruptions, flickering or glitches.

Comment 8 Manasi 2017-07-19 19:04:08 UTC
Ricardo, you mentioned that this was happening only with one kind of the MST dongle and not the other one. So I suspect it is because that specific dongle does not support 4K resolution and there is no way for the driver to get this information from the dongle and invalidate that resolution.
If that MST dongle works fine with a non 4K monitor then we should be good and this should not be a bug anymore.

Please comment.
Comment 9 Ricardo Madrigal 2017-07-20 22:28:22 UTC
Checking with the team members and analyzing the hardware specifications of both MST, "DisplayPort to Dual DisplayPort Graphics Splitter DPD2001" SUNIX, and "UltraAV® Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to 2 DisplayPort Multi-Display MST Hub" ACCELL, We agree that MST Sunix Works correctly and the second MST does not.

and this should not be a bug anymore.
Comment 10 Manasi 2017-07-20 22:45:48 UTC
Ricardo,

So what were the two configurations on which the SUNIX was giving black screen?

Hi Manasi,

The configuration where this happen was the first one:
(mini DP to DP) + (DP to DP) with monitor 4K and a MST dongle "sunix" and old version of kernel.
Comment 12 Ricardo Madrigal 2017-07-24 16:26:38 UTC
Analyzing the hardware specifications of "DisplayPort to Dual DisplayPort Graphics Splitter DPD2001 SUNIX" MST. We have identified that DP 1.2 does not support enough bandwidth over a single link to drive two 4k monitors, and this should not be a mistake anymore.
