There is a problem running xorg server from git on a Toshiba Portege R200. This machine has two video devices: LVDS internal display and external VGA output. With 2.6.1 both outputs were detected correctly: filip@cacko:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2048 x 1280, maximum 2048 x 1280 VGA connected 1024x1280+768+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1360x768 59.8 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 1280x1024 60.0* LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0*+ 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9 720x400 85.0 640x400 85.1 640x350 85.1 TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) filip@cacko:~$ But with 2:2.6.99.1+git2009030 (from https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/) the LVDS output has disappeared: filip@cacko:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 1280, maximum 2048 x 1280 VGA connected 1024x1280+0+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1360x768 59.8 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 1280x1024 60.0* TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) filip@cacko:~$ Without a VGA display connected the xserver refuses to run at all, because no connected output devices were found. Some additional information: filip@cacko:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04 Codename: jaunty filip@cacko:~$ uname -a Linux cacko 2.6.28-8-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 5 21:49:36 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux filip@cacko:~$ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) filip@cacko:~$ I have upgraded to jaunty because of a new xorg intel driver which does acceleration on a rotated display (my VGA monitor).
Please attach Xorg.0.log with ModeDebug enabled, according to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html. This looks like bug#20230.

My lid status is correct: filip@cacko:~$ head /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/* ==> /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/info <== type: Lid Switch ==> /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state <== state: open filip@cacko:~$
pls attach your vbios rom via: # cd /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/ # echo 1 > rom # cat rom > /tmp/rom.bin # echo 0 > rom then, attach the rom.bin. In the mean time, could you check on Toshiba website to see if there is a bios upgrade for this platform?
Bios update fixed this. Thanks for the tip :). I will attach two rom dumps (before update and after update). Will a workaround be made for old bioses or will users be forced to perform bios update? I am comfortable with this, but don't know about others...
