Got just no signal on my screen. I knew it was working some months (and upgrades) ago. After testing I found out the issue was introduced between kernel v3.14 and v3.15. Situation: Insert HDMI cable into my laptop, and no signal on the external display. The dmesg fills with errors also: [ 186.210622] nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:01:00.0] INVALID_STATE [UNK08] chid 0 mthd 0x0080 data 0x00000000 [ 186.210627] nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:01:00.0] Core: [ 186.210634] nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:01:00.0] 0x0084: 0x5dc34da1 -> 0x80000000 [ 186.210640] nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:01:00.0] 0x0088: 0x00000000 etc. After some git bisect playtime, I found out the following commit caused the issue: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau?id=05c63c2ff23a80b654d6c088ac3ba21628db0173 So I went back to stable 3.16 (Ubuntu Utopic version), and did a git revert for that commit. And yep, HDMI output was working again, and no more nouveau errors in dmesg. My device: [ 30.823267] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] BOOT0 : 0x0c1a00a1 [ 30.823269] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] Chipset: GF108 (NVC1) [ 30.823270] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] Family : NVC0 Laptop dell xps 15 l502x So this can be fixed with just reverting this commit. Else this is an annoying regression in Utopic. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: jean-louis 3531 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=633b79c4-1f68-4dd5-be23-b297eed028cd InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-07-14 (1177 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110705.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
