Stephen verified the drm-intel-fixes branch contains a fix for the issue. Upstream says a lot of snb fixes went in to that branch, so presumably this will require backporting of the snb patch set. Since the branch targets the 3.3 kernel, which we do not plan to ship in ubuntu, we won't get the fixes automatically for Precise.
Potentially eugeni will backport them to the 3.2 tree. If that happens, then assuming the kernel team updates to new stable releases of this kernel series, we would get the fix then. I'll leave it to the kernel team to finish the porting of the fixes into the ubuntu kernel. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912992 Title: [snb-m-gt2+] Primary laptop display not working, external monitor works fine.
