screen corruption example

Hi all.

I've got a Dell XPS 15 9560 running Archlinux with kernel  4.13.11.
I'm using Cinnamon desktop 3.4.6, xorg-server 1.19.5.
The laptop has Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 (4GB GDDR5); Intel HD Graphics 630.
The intel card is set up with KMS, I don't have xf86-video-intel installed.

I'm trying to use a Dell TB16 dock with two LG 27UD58-B 27" UHD 4K monitors and a built-in screen. Screens are connected through displayport cables to the TB16 dock.
(Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ)

Screens work fine in mirror mode, but as soon as I set the displays to be horizontally aligned next to eachother, screen corrupts. It works fine if one of the screens is positioned below the other two.

dmesg debug on display config attemp

This is dmesg log of what happens when I align all three monitors horizontally in 'display settings' and press apply. After the timeout, the screens revert to their previous setup

I've tried patching the i915 module with this patch, but it didn't seem to help.

The same setup works fine in Windows 10.
Comment 6 Elizabeth 2017-11-09 20:04:26 UTC
Not sure if relevant. From dmesg:

[drm:intel_dump_pipe_config [i915]] planes on this crtc
[drm:intel_dump_pipe_config [i915]] [PLANE:40:plane 1C] disabled, scaler_id = -1
[drm:intel_dump_pipe_config [i915]] [PLANE:42:plane 2C] disabled, scaler_id = -1
[drm:intel_dump_pipe_config [i915]] [PLANE:44:cursor C] disabled, scaler_id = -1
...
[drm:intel_prepare_plane_fb [i915]] failed to pin object
Comment 7 Marat Bakeev 2017-11-10 02:21:59 UTC
Just tried my setup with the kernel compiled from git - linux-git 4.14rc8.r13.g87df26175e67-1,
it hangs moments after I log into the system and the system sets monitors mode, so I can't test if the monitors work when aligned horizontally.

I'm attaching a dmesg from that.

This issue is very annoying, I'm ready to test any patches to try to fix this

Same problem on an Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-6700HQ
with 3 4K screens. When a window exceeds 8064 px it corrupts
DP1 + HDMI1 + HDMI2
Comment 12 Inad 2018-04-20 08:22:29 UTC
My problem I have identified and it is a problem of "Mesa"
But the effect on the image is the same
