We only try and register the eDP ports if the hardware tells us it is present... has_edp_a() (DP on port D invokes trust in the VBT) So we are in a situation where the hw claims there is both a LVDS and eDP connection. You have already demonstrated that such broken HW exists, have you not? Either that or we have missed a fuse to override the DP detected bit. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
