dmesg with debug=14, using drm-intel-nightly branch as of Sun 5 May 2013
I'm having this problem too, so I downloaded the drm-intel-nightly branch.
Good news: Hardly any error messages "*ERROR*" too many retries..." (etc.).
Bad News: Absolutely no connection made to my external monitor over the Apple
DP connector.
Hardware: I'm using a Lenova Think Pad S430, which uses "IntelĀ® Ivybridge
Mobile" graphics. I'm trying to connect an external monitor via an Apple DP to
VGA connector (so, not exactly the same hardware discussed above, but very
similar symptoms - if the difference means this is the wrong ticket, sorry,
please instruct as to where I should post this).
My "real" use-case is a little different - I need to connect to the projectors
at work.
By the way, I have a work-around that works most of the time - downgrade to the
3.6.11 kernel - the last kernel that came with a "normal" Arch Linux upgrade
which works. After that came the 3.7 and 3.8 kernels, and none of those have
worked with my hardware.
Here's what I did: I connected the Apple connector.
I'll attach the Xorg.0.log next.</pre>
