[Solved] xf86-video-intel 2.21.11-1: Problem with dual-view config

Knusperkeks · 2013-07-04 20:20:18

Hi,

since i installed the xf86-video-intel 2.21.11-1 package, i can no longer use my external monitor by:

xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --right-of LVDS1

By downgrading to the previous version everything works fine. Does somebody has the same problems?
The hardware i use is a ivybridge based system running the ck-kernel.

Greetings
Knusperkeks

Edit: As richli reported, with the new version everything is working fine again. Thanks!

same problem.

I temporarily modified the acceleration method from "sna" to "uxa"

Option      "AccelMethod" "uxa"

and works fine.

Are you both using the ck kernel?

I only have one display, and X will not run since the update to 2.21.11. I tried switching from SNA to UXA, and it made no difference.

Where can I obtain 2.21.10 from? Or is my only option to restore a Clonezilla backup and avoid upgrading the package?

You may have it in your cache or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages

I now checked it with the official arch-kernel and the problem stays the same, so it doesn't seem to be kernel related.

I had the same problem with the latest official Arch kernel (3.9.9-1-ARCH) and have downgraded for now to xf86-video-intel-2.21.10-3. I use sna because it allows me to have tear free video with the TearFree option.

[liam@liam-laptop ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf 
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
   Option      "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

EDIT: For anyone who needs an older package, here is 2.21.10-3:

The Arch Rollback Machine is the place to look for all ghosts of packages past when pacman's cache doesn't provide them.

I also have this problem on a Thinkpad T420 (Sandy Bridge microarchitecture) using the stock Arch kernel (3.9.9-1-ARCH). I've only been using the VGA port, I haven't tried the DisplayPort lately.

An updated version (2.21.12) of xf86-video-intel was released a few days ago. According to the changelog:

changelog wrote:

In this release, we clear up the teething troubles from preserving the KMS configuration, notably external connections on Haswell and plugging in new outputs after startup were broken.

This has already been packaged for Arch and is currently in testing.

I haven't tried switching from SNA to UXA, but I have downloaded and installed xf86-video-intel 2.21.12-1. My external output works again!
