Christopher, must I really waste our time by updating the BIOS every time a fix for the Q77 chip set comes out? It's a pain to do the BIOS update, and it's a pain to test this bug specifically, because it requires several reboots and shifting cables behind a rack.
If you read the Release Notes for the BIOS update, which are at http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23256/eng/MK_0064_ReleaseNotes.pdf , you can see that none of the fixes are directly related to the integrated graphics support, and that the integrated graphics option ROM version has not changed in quite some time. I understand if the option ROM was updated as well, or there was a fix mentioned that was specifically related to the graphics support, but updating every time there's an update available, is a waste of time. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021924 Title: 8086:0162 [Intel DQ77MK] Multiple Displays not working Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: I have an Intel DQ77MK motherboard, which has 2 DVI connectors, and a Core i7 3770S IvyBridge CPU. Under Ubuntu 12.04, the multiple display support does not work, and I am stuck with a single display. The second screen only shows all pixels as 100% red. Enabling the second screen in Displays in System Settings does allow me to move windows and the mouse cursor to that screen, though I cannot actually see anything on it, as everything is red. For now I have had to force it to mirror displays, to avoid moving things to the second screen. Also, on the daily live image for Quantal, the system appears to freeze when X starts, and I am left with the primary screen being black, and the secondary screen being full red. The plymouth framebuffer is a fuzzy green image, and everything turns black when X comes up.
