[Nouveau] xrandr HDMI-1 and DVI-D-1 disconnected - External monitor not detected
Hi List,
I'm stuck how to get a dual head monitor solution to work with Nouveau,
running openSUSE 13.1 on my hp8710w mobile workstation equipped with a
Nvidia graphical card. Beyond the built-in WUXGA display, an external
WQHD monitor is connected to the HDMI port on the graphical card and/or
to the dual link DVI-D on a hp docking station.
To compare with SLED11/Nvidia driver running in dualboot with openSUSE
13.1/Nouveau on the same workstation, the external monitor works up to
1920x1080 over HDMI and at 2560x1440 resolution over the docking dual
link DVI-D.
Here follows the query output using openSUSE 13.1/Nouveau/xrandr:
# lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G92GLM
[Quadro FX 3600M] [10de:061c] (rev a2)

Beyond LVDS for the builtin display, all other graphical ports are

VGA-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
I've tried a solution that has been suggested to add output to an
external monitor, but it failed as shown:
# xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 1920x1080
# xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --left-of LVDS-1
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
I would be very thankful to get help here that can solve this confusing
problem.

[Nouveau] xrandr HDMI-1 and DVI-D-1 disconnected - External monitor not detected
The important thing for display detection/setting proper modes/etc is the kernel -- what kernel version are you using? Separately, there has been a fix that affected VBIOSes found in NV96 cards, and it would not be a stretch to believe that a similar VBIOS script could be found in a NV92 card. However the NV96 error condition was different (everything detected fine, but no actual image displayed, whereas for you it's not even showing anything as connected, which could indicate a i2c/hpd problem). I would say that the steps for you are to first try airlied's drm-next branch, which should have all the latest nouveau fixes: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/log/?h=drm-next . If that is of no help, open a new bug (see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/) -- we really want to see your vbios, so upload a copy of that (/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/vbios.rom), and also throw in a full dmesg booted with nouveau.debug=PDISP=debug,VBIOS=trace Lastly, did this ever work with nouveau? If so, please indicate that in the bug; you will likely be asked to do a kernel bisect. -ilia On Sun, Jan 26, 2014 at 9:47 AM, Terje J.

[Nouveau] xrandr HDMI-1 and DVI-D-1 disconnected - External monitor not detected
The latest openSUSE 13.1 uses kernel version 3.11.6-4-desktop (x86_64 here). (What I can add is that Nouveau did not work either for external, dual display on this mobile hardware using previous 3.x kernels on openSUSE 12.x. The propriarity Nvidia driver which currently works again using SLED11 SP3 now, has on the other hand had some freeze lock problems) Well, I'm not sure I'm skilled to try the suggested airlied's drm-next branch as this is new for me. Is there available a detailed procedure guide how to do it?
