Comment 42 for bug 1308105

I'm afraid but Sean's patch, "fix_for_bug11107.patch", does not fix the issue for me. I tried with both git-master (d532c0f06d4a629aebf11e8bead63617931001d2) and tag 4.11.2 (e329018189663837f2cd9c50807e4376a852cc88). My patch in turn still works with both said commits.

However, since my patch only addresses the issue's symptoms but not its actual cause, Sean's patch should be further improved instead of just using mine.

It's interesting to see that "fix_for_bug11107.patch" already fixes the problem for Raj, which makes me think that there's more to this issue than we understand thus far.

Btw, I tried both enabling and disabling the "Configure new displays when connected" feature but that did not have any effect. I'm out of ideas right now.

My configuration:
Xubuntu 14.04 x64
Kernel 3.13.0-39-generic
Intel Core i5-4590S
Intel driver 2.99.911-0intel1
Monitor attached with a HDMI-to-HDMI cable
