Display Port Monitor turns off during Ubuntu OS boot

[Rao G]

Hi Coreboot Team,

There is an external Monitor which works on HDMI/DVI and also DP , In BIOS
the display is good whereas in OS (Ubuntu 18.04) until the kernel is
initialized and i915 Video driver
is loaded display is perfect, looks like the i915 OS driver switches off
the monitor and there is no signal

Does ACPI GFX method have to return any External display specific data to
the OS driver ?
Tried to make changes to VBIOS but did not help, thought ASL code is
missing under GFX0

From the OS following data can be read

1. External Monitor's EDID data can be read from I2C Bus
   2. Even VBT data from ACPI NVS can be read

Tried to dig into some of these files
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display

intel_dp.c, intel_acpi.c to understand what function is turning off DP link
when i have the OS debug driver logs, can send it across

Any clues will help, appreciate your time

PS:The platform has Intel BayTrail SoC, ValleyView chipset and VBIOS. The
bios do not use GOP driver which replaces VBIOS

Thanks
Rao

Is your platform coreboot-supported, if yes - have you tested it with coreboot?

Hi Mike,

Yes the platform uses coreboot, the display is fine in BIOS
only in the OS ubuntu it turns off

Is it required to dump the graphics registers in OS through intel-gpu-tools?

Anyone come across similar behavior with display port?
HDMI, LVDS, DVI all works well

Thanks
Rao
