HDMI hotplug malfunction with X (Nvidia Optimus notebook)


I've been diagnosing my recent lack of HDMI connectivity within X for a few weeks now and have hit many walls. HDMI was functioning correctly until a kernel update (4.9.6-r1), rolling back kernel (4.4.39) did not fix the issue.

I suspect something is causing a premature unplug event when X is running, but honestly have no idea at this point. I'm looking for an external perspective, how would you diagnose this problem?

Notes:
  • enabling udev debug (/etc/conf.d/udev) only creates an empty file (/run/udevdebug.log)
  • kernel CMDLINE nvidia-drm.modeset=0 seems has no effect
  • kernel is configured with no FB
  • No applicable rules present in /etc/udev/rules.d
  • External monitor's EDID resolutions appear to be incorrect (see reference below)

From the console

HDMI connection appears to be working normally. Monitor shows 1920x1080 mirror image of eDP1 after a unplug/plug cycle.

$ udevadm monitor --environment --udev

Looks like i2c was successful. Have a good day.

Further diagnosing the issue.

I completely removed the nvidia drivers from the system. xorg-drivers-1.19 was marked stable yesterday, updated this as well. One should note that this version begins transitioning from Intel DDX to generic modestting DDX.

Code:
media-libs/mesa-13.0.5::gentoo  USE="bindist classic dri3 egl gallium gbm gles2 llvm nettle nptl vdpau" VIDEO_CARDS="i965"
x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.2:0/1.19.2::gentoo  USE="glamor ipv6 suid udev xorg"
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19::gentoo  INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" VIDEO_CARDS="i965"
Symptoms persist. Below are the results from an unplug/plug event within X.
