Subject: [REGRESSION] external monitor+Dell dock in 6.8
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:59:51 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <22aa3878-62c7-9a2c-cfcc-303f373871f6@quaintcat.com> (raw)
Hello,
I noticed a regression with the mailine kernel pre-compiled by EPEL.
I have just tried linux-6.9-rc1.tar.gz from kernel.org, and it still
misbehaves.
The default setup: a laptop is connected to a dock, Dell WD22TB4, via
a USB-C cable. The dock is connected to an external monitor via a
Display Port cable. With a "good" kernel everything works. With a
"broken" kernel, the external monitor is still correctly identified by
the system, and is shown as enabled in plasma systemsettings. The
system also behaves like the monitor is working, for example, one can
move the mouse pointer off the laptop screen. However the external
monitor screen stays black, and it eventually goes to sleep.
Everything worked with EPEL mainline kernels up to and including
kernel-ml-6.7.9-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64
The breakage is observed in
kernel-ml-6.8.1-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64
kernel-ml-6.8.2-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64
linux-6.9-rc1.tar.gz from kernel.org (with olddefconfig)
Other tests: using an HDMI cable instead of the Display Port cable
between the monitor and the dock does not change things, black screen
with the newer kernels.
Using a small HDMI-to-USB-C adapter instead of the dock results in a
working system, even with the newer kernels. So the breakage appears
to be specific to the Dell WD22TB4 dock.
