Ville, Daniel,

any additional info I could provide? I have to return dual-link DVI
cable back, so let me know if I could reveal more details if necessary.
Unfortunately I'm out of ideas for now. Daniel is on vacation.
Anyone else? VPG folks should take the ball here since they broke it.

In the meantime I think as a workaround I think you could use
something like video=HDMI-A-1:e on the kernel command line (not sure
I got the connector name right for your system). I think that should
result in the live status check to be skipped, at least when
populating the mode list.

Might be a good idea to collect all the information here and put in a
bug report (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ -> DRI -> DRM/Intel) so that
all the logs and such would be in one place.

I've just got another monitor and another DVI-HDMI cable, and here

I presume the above LG screen is what you've called previously "old
monitor"?

Do you have logs for the failure with the single link hdmi cable and the register dump which you have given for the working case?
If not, can you please capture the logs and register dump.
Also which platform is this?
If it is live status related issue, we need to see how long it is taking to set the live status, or is it not setting it at all with the single-link cable?

Funky. Can you pls grab the debug logs (with the special patches from
Ville) for this case? I wonder why suddenly different cable and it
works.

Also: Is this one of these older-ish screens where you must have a
dual-link cable to drive it at full resolution&refresh rate?

I'd say that single link DVI cables are broken with new kernel, but
one of
monitors could work with such a cable. So I have no idea :(.

The other downside is that it'll make us non-compliant, which was the
point of this entire ordeal: HDMI spec forbids us from starting any i2c
transactions when the hpd isn't signalling a present screen.

So maybe we need to buy one of these broken screens.

Oleksandr, what exact model are you using? And any chance that you could
test this on some other machine with intel gfx and latest kernel, just to
make sure this really is some issue with the sink and not with the machine
itself? And I guess you've tested with some other hdmi sink, and that
works?
