Default No signal on external monitor with 3.5 Kernel

Hi Everyone,

I have an external monitor connected to my laptop via HDMI which I use
side by side to get an extended desktop.

When I boot the system with 3.5 Kernel I don't get any signal on the
external monitor, laptop display and everything else work fine.

It works fine with 3.4.x Kernels, and I believe it's not a X problem as
it's not getting any signal even before X starts (It does with 3.4.x).

I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and possibly a solution,
or is this something I need to submit upstream?

Thanks.

What's the output of xrandr? Try something like xrandr --output LVDS1
--auto --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1

xrandr output http://pastebin.com/z9G4n1Sp

This is what I use to initialize the two monitors when X starts

xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --auto
--right-of LVDS1

And it has no effect as the monitor connected to receives no signal (it
goes to sleep)

Also, as I mentioned before I don't see the output during the boot
either so I assume this is not an X thing.
Maybe 3.5 has some modules turned off by default? or this is a bug. I
couldn't diagnose it properly.

Thanks.

According to this, your monitor is enabled at 1920x1080.

This is definitely a bug.
