[drm:drm_dp_dual_mode_detect [drm_kms_helper]] DP dual mode HDMI ID: (err -6)

Tue Apr 3 21:10:17 UTC 2018

Hello,  I don't know where I can/should write this question... Please refer if I should write any post/bug/question somewhere...  The problem I have : Last days I try to connect my laptop Dell XPS L502x with monitor Iiyama Prolite E1900S through DVI-D input.  Dell XPS L502x has Optimus graphics card (intel/nvidia). I try to use integrated Intel card which is physically related with miniDP output. I use LogiLink miniDP/HDMI adapter (CV0045A). I don't know what means error :   [drm:drm_dp_dual_mode_detect [drm_kms_helper]] DP dual mode HDMI ID:  (err -6)   I did a few tests. First, I have connected Panasonic TV to the same adapter and TV was discovered correctly. So I thought that the problem can be EDID that my laptop can't read via miniDP/HDMI adapter from IIyama monitor. I have read EDID from this monitor when I connected to another computer. I saved EDID of Panasonic TV, too. Next (see case 02 below) after few days I found a way to store EDID into initramfs. I played with kernel parameters (drm.edid_firmware=... , video=... ) on connection with Panasonic TV just to be sure, that Dell is using EDID builded-in initram. Display of Panasonic TV seems to work according to those parameters.   Finally, I have connected IIama PLE 1900S monitor, but display was off. When X server has started, I checked xrandr -q command which gave me all resolutions/refresh rates allowed exactly for this monitor. So EDID has been read.    I have checked values :   cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/  enabled   cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/  connected   cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/  1280x1024  1280x1024  1280x960  1152x864  1024x768  1024x768  1024x768  832x624  800x600  800x600  800x600  800x600  640x480  640x480  640x480  640x480  720x400   Everything (only in my opinion!) seems to be fine, but display is not active. The only difference which I have observed is :   [drm:drm_dp_dual_mode_detect [drm_kms_helper]] DP dual mode HDMI ID: DP-HDMI ADAPTOR\004 (err 0)  and  [drm:drm_dp_dual_mode_detect [drm_kms_helper]] DP dual mode HDMI ID:  (err -6)   When I get error -6, than display is not activated... What does it mean ??? What can I do with it ?   Below I put more details about my tests.  In all cases /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* were empty(not used). Recently I have removed package ubuntu-drivers (as I remember) which contains "gpu-manager". I leave X server configuration for this moment. I saw that if I had no error (DP dual mode HDMI ID) than display was active even before X server starts. So in my opinion I can leave it now...  The complete logs are in attachment.
