Yeah some interesting stuff in there, but no idea why your screen is
ragequitting.
- The edid fail is indeed transiet. There's a bunch of hpd flip-flop
and some screaming (looks like crappy hw booting), but eventually the
kernel gets the full edid and mode list when you kick your hdmi
screen. But ofc the kernel doesn't do modeset since that's already
done. Have you tried whether a force full modeset with xrandr
--off/--auto fixes anything?
- There's nothing different for the deep-sleep dpms cycle that fails
to light up on the sink side - no errors from the modeset and no hpd
from the screen.
- But there is a difference on what userspace does: Somehow an
additionl very fast dpms off/on sneaks in when waking things up. Dunno
where that's from, but fickle screens tend to get upset by that. Maybe
try with the UXA backend in xorg.conf (which has a slightly different
dpms handling):
Section "Device"
Identifier "igd"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection
Otherwise I draw a blank. For the record do you know the old/new bios
versions, in case I can get hold of them and get a real changelog?
