<pre>Hi Ilia,
I finally managed to get a working network connection on boot, and it looks as
if remote SSH is working. So I asked a friend who is fluent in X to ssh in
remotely and perform some tests :)
Things we found were:
1) On boot dmesg shows "nouveau E[ DRM] DDC responded, but no EDID for
DP-1" in the kernel logfile
2) xrandr -q --verbose works but very slowly; each line is noticeably lethargic
when appearing on screen. This output shows 3 DP outputs, but there is only one
DP connector on the laptop?! The physical ports on the laptop are:
LVDS-1 - on-board LCD screen
VGA-1 - external VGA output (possibly only wired to on-board Intel chip?)
DP-1 - external DP output (wired to NV9 chip only)
3) When manually trying to switch between the LVDS/DP-1 outputs with xrandr
there was a backtrace in the logs from drm_mode_set_config_internal().
I'll attach the related files onto this bug report.
Many thanks,
Mark.</pre>
