Sometimes graphics unresponsive
Hello!
Today I got my new USB-DVI-Adapter with a Displaylink inside (HP NL571AA). After a couple of trials I found that my ubuntu 16.04 loads drivers for the adapter differently, in this ways: a) Wait for boot up of computer, then connect the displaylink-adapter: Code:
$ lsmod | grep udl udl 32768 0 drm_kms_helper 147456 3 udl,i915,evdi drm 364544 12 udl,i915,evdi,drm_kms_helper $ lsmod | grep evdi evdi 40960 2 drm_kms_helper 147456 3 udl,i915,evdi syscopyarea 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper sysfillrect 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper sysimgblt 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper drm 364544 12 udl,i915,evdi,drm_kms_helper b) Connect the adapter with computer off, then start the computer: Code:
$ lsmod | grep udl udl 32768 1 drm_kms_helper 147456 3 udl,i915,evdi drm 364544 10 udl,i915,evdi,drm_kms_helper $ lsmod | grep evdi evdi 40960 0 drm_kms_helper 147456 3 udl,i915,evdi syscopyarea 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper sysfillrect 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper sysimgblt 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper drm 364544 10 udl,i915,evdi,drm_kms_helper - I have a picture as desktop background - the monitor connected to the displaylink-adapter is not fully covered by windows, so that parts of the picture can be seen. If I choose a solid color background, the behaviour of b) is the same as a) (so everything is fine). If I maximize a window on the monitor connected to the displaylink-adapter, the behaviour of b) is also the same as a). Unplugging the adapter in case b) results also in a crash of my X session, so I have to login again. If I then disconnect the adapter and unload the module udl Code:
sudo rmmod udl Code:
$ lsmod | grep udl udl 32768 0 drm_kms_helper 147456 3 udl,i915,evdi drm 364544 9 udl,i915,evdi,drm_kms_helper $ lsmod | grep evdi evdi 40960 2 drm_kms_helper 147456 3 udl,i915,evdi syscopyarea 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper sysfillrect 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper sysimgblt 16384 2 evdi,drm_kms_helper drm 364544 9 udl,i915,evdi,drm_kms_helper My question is: How can I make b) behave like a) without all the trouble? I'm using ubuntu 16.04 with up-to-date packages and your driver in version 1.1.62. Thank you for your help! Last edited by trepseq; 08-19-2016 at 12:47 AM. |
