I'm trying to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1-rcsomething on a DELL latitude E6420, but dual head is broken. Here is the scenario:
- Turn computer on with VGA1 connected. Both LVDS1 and VGA1 show the text console fine.
- Start X. VGA1 shows X fine, but LVDS1 (1600x900 resolution) shows an odd screen: completely black on the left part (about 1060x900), sort of gray on the right part (about 540x900). Playing with xrandr doesn't help, I can at best make it completely black with --off, and not get it back again with --auto or anything else.
Can you try disabling frame buffer compression?

I'm about to send a patch to disable this by default; I've gotten two people saying that this helps them already.
Absolutely. I have no issue any more, and the error messages are gone.
At home only. At work, with a different VGA screen, I'm still getting the issue.
