Description
This test case tests external display outputs on hybrid graphics systems. It is only valid if run on a system with hybrid graphics.
Setup
- Ensure your system has at least one external display connector, and you have a display (monitor) and appropriate cable to connect the two. The more outputs you can test, the better!
- Clean boot the system, with no video-related kernel parameters or custom configuration
How to test
- Connect a display to an external display connector, and check that it is initialized properly (with its native resolution) and the desktop extended to it
- If the display is not brought up automatically, you can run the Displays configuration tool (just Displays from the Overview, or
gnome-control-center display
) to configure it, and arrange it relative to the internal display
- If the display is not brought up automatically, you can run the Displays configuration tool (just Displays from the Overview, or
- Check you can drag a typical application window (e.g. a terminal) to the external display and back
- If suspend and resume usually works on the system, suspend the system with the external display connected, resume again, and check that the external display still works
- Disconnect the external display
- Repeat the above steps for as many connectors as you can test
Expected Results
- When an external display is connected, the system should notice, initialize it at the correct resolution, and add it to the desktop configuration
- If not, it should at least appear in the display configuration tool and you should be able to set it up and add it to the display configuration manually
- Dragging applications between displays should work smoothly
- On resume from suspend, the external display should continue to function correctly
