[SOLVED] Intel HDMI port detection failure

Hi! After resent system upgrade my HDMI port stops working. Neither Xorg nor tty doesn't handle it. No output on "udevadm monitor" while plag in/out of HDMI cable.

Some new related packages:

• linux-4.15.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

• xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+812+g75795523-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

• xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

My dmesg output
My lspci output
My Xorg.0.log

It is hardly the Xorg issue, because previously all my monitors worked with tty, now HDMI - don't.

There no HDMI port at all in xrand output:

Downgrading specified packages did not help, install them from testing either.

Have some one the same or related issue? Can some one suggest any actions to debug or find some related lines in logs?

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HDMI port detection failure

Perhaps try with the linux-lts kernel? It's installable via pacman - you can keep both linux and linux-lts installed on the same machine at the same time and select the relevant kernel at the bootloader stage.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HDMI port detection failure

linux-lts

Hmmm! Good idea! Forgot about it!

But installing the previous kernel did not help.

Anyway I will try it now, thank you!

Nope linux is not the source of problem, as I expected.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HDMI port detection failure

Your lspci output shows you have both intel and nvidia graphics - have you setup bumblebee or optimus?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee - "On some notebooks, the digital Video Output (HDMI or DisplayPort) is hardwired to the NVIDIA chip"

Thanks for response, but my previous installation worked well on intel card only. Bumblee workes fine and primusrun too. But intel-virtual-output can not detect any screens.

Are you saying then this is solved? Is your hdmi port wired to the nvidia chip?

Nope! I just say that Bumblebee workes, but hdmi - doesn't. I rarely use nvidia card at all. 3 screens worked fine with Intel graphics only before.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HDMI port detection failure

Did you solve your problem? Facing the same issue right now. HDMI worked until yesterday. Checked all cables and adapters with other monitors and tried the LTS kernel. Nothing helped.
Actually only the laptop port is missing as a possible error source.

Hi, sorry for late response. Just returned from vocation and upgrade the system. The issue is gone now. Nothing to do more.
