When the monitor is connected via DisplayPort I can see grub but once the kernel takes over, the screen goes black. When the same monitor is connected via DVI everything works. Adding the kernel option "video=DP-1:1920x1200@75" makes at least the kernel messages and virtual consoles work. However, when X starts the screen goes black again. This might be related to the bug reported here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752593 Modeline from EDID: Detailed mode: Clock 154.000 MHz, 518 mm x 324 mm 1920 1968 2000 2080 hborder 0 1200 1203 1209 1235 vborder 0 +hsync -vsync Monitor ranges (GTF): 50-61Hz V, 30-83kHz H, max dotclock 170MHz Kernel 3.10.3 (but also tested with 3.9.x and 3.8.x) Graphic chip: ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 (the second intel chip should be disabled)
Please attach your xorg log, dmesg output, and xrandr --verbose output.

The patch did not fix the issue. :( Didn't change anything.
I can confirm that the patch did not fix the problem. I folowed these instructions to build the kernel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild . I went to manually edit the atom.c file, but found that the changes had already been applied in the version I downloaded. I will now attempt to add the requested files

I will note that the system is currently set up with two monitors, one dual-link DVI (the one I am using to enter this message) the other Display port that was working up to grub, then it shut itself off after the grub screen. The stuff in xrandr.output about nothing being connected to the display port is incorrect.
Can you please attach a copy of your vbios? (as root) (use lspci to get the bus id) cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id> echo 1 > rom cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom echo 0 > rom

Has there been any progress on this? I am very near throwing money at the problem and buying an NVidea card. At least then I can plug in whichever brand currently has working drivers.

I am afraid I threw money at the problem and solved it by buying an Nvidia GeForce GTX760. After a year and a month since I originally reported this bug on Launchpad.net, apparent lack of activity on this site, video breaking for mythTV every other update to ubuntu, I'd had enough. I am currently running the setup I originally intended: Dell 2560x1600/60 monitor on dual link DVI next to my BenQ 1920x1080/120, on display port both in landscape mode. MythTV is playing video without dropping frames or stuttering audio. I got this setup working not more than an hour ago, after the most frustrating, difficult driver instalation I have ever experienced. But this is a configuration I was never able to achieve with either the propriatary drivers from ATI (when they were still available), or the open source drivers. I hope you eventually succeed in making these drivers work, but I could not take it any more.
Patch didn't work. :-(
Any news? I don't want to buy a new computer just to get a working DisplayPort.

I ran into the same problem with my Dell machine. After X takes over my screens stay black. Both screens are connected via DisplayPort. I'll attach all requested files so far. * kernel 3.18.6 * X server 1.17.1 * AMD Turks / Northern Island GPU
