Title:
Build and distribute intel-virtual-output
Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.904 adds support for virtual displays
that can be used to clone to discrete outputs. The tool to do this is
included with the xserver-xorg-video-intel source (with not-so-great
man page and all), but the binary is currently not shipped by Ubuntu
trusty, despite being built. It is shipped in utopic and later.
The tool will allocate a virtual output for the specified outputs on a
different X server (or for all outputs with the -a parameter). It will
also copy over resolution information etc from xrandr. You can then
use your desktop environment's display tool to configure these
external displays the way you would normally do in a non-hybrid
situation.
Since the trusty release is LTS, this bug qualifies for SRU status "to
enable new hardware," or rather, newly supported at the time of the
trusty release.
[Test Case]
1) Install the package.
2) Attempt to execute /usr/bin/intel-virtual-output in a shell.
[Regression Potential]
Absolutely none.
[Other Info]
The intel-gpu-tools package is the only reverse dependency, and that
package has no reverse dependencies in turn.
