[Bug 1853735] Re: grub2 fails to load with DP1.2 (but not DP1.1)

[Georg Lipps]

** Description changed:

  I observed a very strange behaviour and have not found a solution so
  far:
  
  Legacy BIOS
  GRUB2 (2.02-2ubuntu8.13)
  Nvidia Quadro K420
  ASUS PB27U 4k monitor connected via display port
  
  The monitor allows to select DP1.1 (30Hz at 4k) and DP1.2 (60Hz at 4k) via
  OSD. With DP1.1 computer boots up normally but it would be required to
  later change manually to 60Hz.
  
  With DP1.2 the BIOS messages (POST) are seen, then a short cursor blink
  in the left upper corner and the systems halts with a blank screen (I
  can exclude that grub continues with the boot up process since I cannot
  ping the machine).
  
  I tried:
  
  GRUB_GFXMODE "1024*768*8"
  
  and GRUB_TERMINAl "console"
  
  reinstalling MBR
  
+ Always the same picture: DP1.1 no problem, DP1.2 no GRUB.
  
- Always the same picture: DP1.1 no problem, DP1.2 no GRUB.
+ 
+ One more oddity: If a boot in DP1.1 and then switch the monitor to DP1.2 during GRUB the boot process continues normally and I end with a graphic session 60Hz at 4k as intended.
+ 
+ It appears that only the inital grub2 loading is affected somehow.
