Description Kirill A. Shutemov 2019-01-21 09:55:01 UTC

Xorg.0.lo

System is Thinkpad T460p with external display attached over DisplayPort. Kernel is v5.0-rc2. Xorg is 1.20.3.

Xorg starts normally, but if external display gets through power cycle switching to console and back leads to Xorg crash with "modeset(0): failed to set mode: No such file or directory". See attached log.

The external display is Dell UP2414Q, which is 4k, but the bug can be reproduced with MST disabled too.

Kirill - what WM/Desktop Environment are you using?
Comment 3 Kirill A. Shutemov 2019-01-23 09:20:20 UTC
AwesomeWM as an window manager and SLiM as an login manager.
Comment 4 James Ausmus 2019-01-24 00:48:20 UTC
Thanks Kirill - could you also provide the output of:

sudo su
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_display_info


both before and after the issue occurs?

Hmm - I wonder if this is the same issue as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88124

DK, what do you think?
Comment 8 Kirill A. Shutemov 2019-01-25 12:47:14 UTC
I *think* you are right (but I would like somebody to confirm it). Connecting the display directly to the laptop solves the issue.

Is there any guidance on how window managers have to deal with this?
Comment 9 Dhinakaran Pandiyan 2019-01-26 00:27:03 UTC
What's interesting is dmesg shows modeset on the new connector succeeded after vt switch. Can you please attach dmesg with drm.debug=0x1e, the file that's currently attached is with drm.debug=0xe? Also verbose xserver logging will be helpful.

Do you see the same problem if you power cycle the monitor by pressing the power button or hotplugging the monitor?

Clarification: text console comes up normally, crash happens when I switch back to Xserver. Login manager gets Xserver restarted just after the crash.

Display doesn't comes back after power cycle (goes to power saving mode), but Xserver doesn't crash at this point.

I have not tried hotplugging. I'll come back to you on this.
Comment 15 Kirill A. Shutemov 2019-01-28 21:49:01 UTC
Hotplug behaves the same way as power cycling: display doesn't come back, but it doesn't crash Xserver either.
Comment 16 James Ausmus 2019-01-29 21:57:17 UTC
Kirill - We're having a bit of trouble replicating your error locally here. It appears that you're running Gentoo - if that's correct I'll try to build a replica system locally. Would you be able to post the following:

--The /var/lib/portage/world file
--The output of 'equery list "*"'
--The output of 'emerge --info"
--The /etc/portage/package.use file (or the files in that directory)
--The /etc/conf.d/xdm file

Thanks!

Thanks Kirill - haven't been able to get a replica system up and running yet, I will let you know when that happens
Comment 19 Lakshmi 2019-07-19 10:03:29 UTC
DK, What are the next steps here? Verifying the issue with drm-tip will give more ideas?
Comment 20 Dhinakaran Pandiyan 2019-07-19 14:13:57 UTC
Sorry, I got busy with other things. 

Is the bug still reproducible?
