** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification
+
+ Impact
+ Unable to achieve some resolutions through display port because of
+ driver miscalculation, or sub-optimal number of links x data rate
+ chosen.
+
+ Fix
+ upstream commit cd9dde44f47501394b9f0715b6a36a92aa74c0d0
+
+ Testcase
+ Try attach something to display port using a resolution which should be
+ supported by the hardware but isn't by the driver, or enable relevant
+ debug and watch dmesg for sub-optimal links x data rate chosen (eg.:
+ http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.drivers.intel/6397)
+
+ ==========================================================================
+
Speaking with the intel driver developers they told me there was a
mistake on how the needed bandwidth was calculated resulting in higher
resolutions not being accepted because the driver though DisplayPort did
not have enough bandwidth for it.
Commit cd9dde44f47501394b9f0715b6a36a92aa74c0d0 from the linux kernel
should be backported to fix it (I have build a local package and i can
verify it fixes the problem)
