Bug#904928: xrandr --output DP-1 --scale gives black screen
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.99.917+git20171229-1+b1
The command:
$ xrandr --output DP-1 --scale 0.444x0.444
gives a black screen on my external monitor (with some randomly colored pixels in the upper left corner:ish) after upgrading from ...
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.99.917+git20171229-1_amd64.deb
... to:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.99.917+git20171229-1+b1_amd64.deb
My monitor is connected to an external display port (laptop). The laptop screen I keep turned off.
I could not figure out what the difference is between those two versions since I could not find the source code repositories. If anyone can help me out here I could poke around a bit myself. I'd be grateful for this information, regardless.
