<span class="quote">> This bug is worse since kernel 3.18.5.

I'm confused, let's verify some things.

Plugging in an external display brings black screen to internal screen. This is
the bug, right?

Please provide a fresh dmesg with drm.debug=14 module parameter set for 3.18.5,
or preferrably later kernel, reproducing the problem.

Does it make a difference if the external screen is already plugged at boot vs.
plugged later on?

Does the internal display work all right if *no* other displays are connected?</pre>
