From c83ad9703e71720bb5001daab7cbaf9b8d59b084 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 15:56:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: Fix broken VT switch with video=1366x768 option MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit fdf35a6b22247746a7053fc764d04218a9306f82 upstream. I noticed that the VT switch doesn't work any longer with a Dell laptop with 1366x768 eDP when the machine is connected with a DP monitor. It behaves as if VT were switched, but the graphics remain frozen. Actually the keyboard works, so I could switch back to VT7 again. I tried to track down the problem, and encountered a long story until we reach to this error: - The machine is booted with video=1366x768 option (the distro installer seems to add it as default). - Recently, drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() deals with cmdline modes, and it tries to create a new mode when no matching mode is found. - The drm_mode_create_from_cmdline_mode() creates a mode based on either CVT of GFT according to the given cmdline mode; in our case, it's 1366x768. - Since both CVT and GFT can't express the width 1366 due to alignment, the resultant mode becomes 1368x768, slightly larger than the given size. - Later on, the atomic commit is performed, and in drm_atomic_check_only(), the size of each plane is checked. - The size check of 1366x768 fails due to the above, and eventually the whole VT switch fails. Back in the history, we've had a manual fix-up of 1368x768 in various places via c09dedb7a50e ("drm/edid: Add a workaround for 1366x768 HD panel"), but they have been all in drm_edid.c at probing the modes from EDID. For addressing the problem above, we need a similar hack to the mode newly created from cmdline, manually adjusting the width when the expected size is 1366 while we get 1368 instead.
