dmesg

Hello,

I am using a dual screen setup, the main screen connected to DVI output, the secondary screen connected to VGA output. I am using in-cpu graphics. 
The secondary screen is (physically) rotated by 90°

I just upgraded my system by replacing motherboard (Asus B150M-C with the latest bios available : 1801), RAM and CPU from sandybridge to skylake (i7-6700), and recompiled the kernel to fit my new hardware.

The secondary screen is no more working as expected : instead of displaying the desktop, it is black and only shows the mouse pointer if it goes in it.
If I rotate it back to horizontal state, the dual screen works well.

dmesg gives a lot of stack traces (attached file)

I've tried ~amd64 gentoo-sources-4.6.3, but the problem is still there.
Comment 3 Pierre AUSSAGUEL 2016-07-03 12:52:41 UTC
The hardware is working : I have just tested with a live-usb of xubuntu 16.04 and it works well.
Comment 4 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2016-07-13 16:23:38 UTC
Not really sure who the best assignee is here, trying kernel and x11.
Comment 5 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2016-07-13 16:55:23 UTC
can you try UXA instead of SNA?
Or the modesetting driver instead of xf86-video-intel?
Comment 6 Pierre AUSSAGUEL 2016-07-13 21:17:34 UTC
I am sorry, but as I could'nt find any way to make it work, and I needed my computer to be functionnal, I had to wipe out my 12 year old gentoo install.
I am now using Debian.
Comment 7 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2016-07-13 21:19:58 UTC
Ok, marking as resolved then.
If you decide to install Gentoo again and encounter this bug, you can reopen it with the requested information.
