Bug Description

Hey,

I have some Symbio thin clients here which are based on the Clientron U800 hardware. They are desktop computers and so don't have a LVDS.
Until a few days/weeks ago, there used to be a patch making any device without a lid switch to have its LVDS disabled. For some reason, that patch got dropped and so my thin clients are now trying to start in a dual-head setup when they only have one display plugged in.

I'd propose the following patch to drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_lvds.c to add that device to the list of broken devices and so restore the old good behavior.

That's affecting the current 2.6.32 in Lucid (2.6.32-17 as of today).
Patch has been proposed on dri-devel for inclusion in the mainline kernel.

It still seems to be pending acceptance. I don't see it in the current upstream (Linus) tree. Has it been submitted with a note that this should go to stable, too?

Nope, I only sent it to drm-devel, then answered a few questions from
Yakui Zhao of Intel.

As I had the impression this was not really considered as done, I have resubmitted the patch upstream.

Hi Stéphane,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 544671

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
