--- Comment #14 from Egbert Eich
(In reply to Egbert Eich from comment #11)
This information doesn't help us much as we don't know the version numbers of the Xserver / kernel you did observe this problem.
I wasn't aware you knew that I updated the kernel and X server since my last report. Sorry.
I knew that you've update the kernel. But I cannot find anywhere where you mention the version of your previous kernel. If you are interested in getting this issue fixed you need to supply more precise information. 1. We need to know under what circumstances the condition occurs: In the original description you say: 'It seems when the monitor is powered down ...': 'It seems...' makes it pure speculation. Did you ever try to verify it? Can you verify that this happens right after waking up the monitor from standby? 2. You claimed you could not see the issue with 3.16.7-29-desktop on one day but you did on the same kernel two days before. This is at least how I read comment #8. This doesn't help us much. Was there any kernel before where this issue didn't occur? Did you really verify this? To verify this, you'd have to do 1. Currently there is too much speculation here. We don't even know if this is a regression. If there was a kernel version where it worked (and you verified that it really did - under the same circumstances as the kernel that showed the issue) we had some marker to go by.
I'm also not sure if this isn't a problem on the HW side as we have not seen EDID issues with Intel for over 2 years. I'd suggest you use a kernel/Xserver/driver & software combination which seems to have a great chance to get this problem and instead exchange all HW components after the graphics card to see if the issue persists.
So what software do you recommend, and where do I get the hardware to replace? ;-) Maybe re-read what I've written and what you have written.
Hardware to replace? How about boo#964429? This monitor looks different... I'd suggest to test a Leap 42.1 kernel on your 13.2 system. On some kernel versions the Intel driver played some games with the power wells. It is not unlikely, that the issues you are seeing are related to this as well. As long as you don't need an NVIDIA proprietary driver on this box the Leap 42.1 kernel should be just fine for you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
