[Intel-gfx] HDMI hotplug fails when using VT or boot on text mode

[Sanchez, AdolfoX]

An update about this issue:

I requested the customer to perform the command udevadmin monitor on text mode to check if the driver is issuing uevents, the command shows activity when there the hdmi is unplugged but it doesn't show any activity when the hdmi is plugged again.

On graphic mode udevadmin monitor shows both kernel and udev events (plugging and unplugging), is there anything else that we should check when on text mode?

Best Regards,
Adolfo Sanchez

Hello Jani

Thanks for your clarification.
On graphic mode what userspace application handles this? Is the X server?
And in this case if the customer wants to enable hotpluging  he should write an udev script to handle the situation? 


Best Regards,
Adolfo.

The userspace is responsible for doing the modeset in response to a hotplug uevent. i915 doesn't enable the output on it's own.
