<pre>My monitor can be switched to DisplayPort 1.1, but if I do that, I drop down to
either a lower resolution or a 30Hz refresh rate. I can only run
<a href="mailto:3840x2160@60.0Hz">3840x2160@60.0Hz</a> with DisplayPort 1.2. I would still consider this a bug even
if blanking does not occur with DisplayPort 1.1.
I can add some more information:
This issue still occurs with drm-intel-nightly 2016y-11m-10d-09h-29m-41s
(commit eb88955cdc6a1f4dabff6bc27747c1c9e9a3aaef).
I actually have two of the same monitor, one at home and another at the office.
For some reason, the monitor at the office blanks much more often than the one
at home. They both do it, but the one at home will run for hours without
blanking, while the one at the office sometimes has fits where it blanks
several times per minute. I'm really not sure how to debug something like
that, but I'm happy to try suggestions. I have tried swapping out the
DisplayPort cable I use at the office, but that didn't make any noticeable
change.</pre>
