Hi Jani,
Applying the following commit did indeed fix the original bug[0]:
commit 8d409cb3e8a24196be7271defafd4638f3e0b514
Author: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Feb 10 19:59:05 2016 +0200
drm/i915: Fix hpd live status bits for g4x
However, it also introduced a new bug, which is covered in that bug
report. The new bug is that after locking/unlocking the screen, all the
windows get shuffled around in a manner that is consistent with X
deciding that it's single-headed again, and then back to double headed.
This only happens when I build a kernel with both commit 237ed86c AND
commit 8d409cb3e. If I revert 237ed86c and keep only 8d409cb3e both the
original bug and the new bug go away. Do you think commit 237ed86c is
still even needed now that 8d409cb3e has landed? Maybe the new bug is
due to the interaction between 237ed86c and 8d409cb3e.
Thanks,
Joe
