I just got an ASUS P5E-VM motherboard with a VGA and HDMI output on it (x3500 is what the box said). I'm using a HDMI->DVI converter that came with the motherboard. When the machine boots, I can get a picture on the DVI interface from the monitor, until X kicks in. I've tried the intel driver shipped with Fedora 8 (x86_64) and git of the driver as of today. Both give me the same results. xrandr shows the monitor on the DVI interface properly when I hook it up and another monitor on VGA. I have also setup my xorg.conf to disable the VGA interface and at that point xrandr showed that the VGA interface was disabled, but still the picture only showed on the VGA output. I have tried the driver that ships with Fedora 8 and the driver from git and I get the same result. This same DVI cable and monitor were working fine on an Asus MiniPC with an i915 chipset, until the machine died. I have also tried this display setup with the VESA driver in xorg.conf and using that driver the HDMI outputs something. xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1680 VGA connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 450mm x 280mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 59.9 1440x900 75.0 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 69.8 60.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 TMDS-1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 450mm x 280mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 59.9 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 59.9 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1

Other users of the G35 chipset reported the same problem on Ubuntu forums : See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647449&page=3 To sum up, with this G35 / X3500 based motherboard : * HDMI connection to monitors works well * VGA connection to monitors works well * DVI connection to monitors works well under console and framebuffer * DVI connection to monitors works well under Windows * DVI connection to monitors works well under Xorg with the VESA driver * DVI connection to monitors does not work under Xorg with the Intel driver (By the way, if you're testing this hardware: that xorg bug seems also to affect all G35 users : http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11311 ).
Got it working! I had the same problem (last time verified: saturday, 3 days ago), with the same Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard. But today I re-tested "DVI out with intel driver" and... it works, now! I didn't any change in xorg.conf, didn't updated the kernel nor any xorg driver/server since saturday. The only change I can think of: I upgraded the motherboard BIOS (from revision 0202 to revision 0405). Could you test this too ? Notes: - I use Ubuntu Hardy (development version), wich has recent git versions of the drivers : linux kernel 2.6.24-rc6, xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2.2.0+git20080107-1ubuntu1, xserver-xorg-core 1.4.1~git20080105-1ubuntu1, mesa 7.0.2-3ubuntu1, libxrandr2 1.2.2 - As stated above, when DVI wasn't working with intel xorg driver, VGA worked with intel driver, and DVI worked fine using the vesa xorg driver. Now everything work as expected. - Attached xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, and xrandr --verbose output using intel driver with DVI attached monitor. - With DVI (but not with VGA), fonts are somehow blurry, and colors too pinky (maybe because my monitor is limited, but the "autoconfig" button does not work with dvi) - I still need `Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"` else fonts and icons aren't displayed (same problem with VGA). - In case it rings a bell: the HDMI+DVI adapter/transmitter chipset used in this G35/GMA X3500 based motherboard is a Silicon Image SILC SiI1392. See : http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=106 and the photo here : http://plusd.itmedia.co.jp/pcuser/articles/0711/30/news070.html - DVI works, but the xorg logs reports a few errors related to SDVO : ben$egrep '(EE|WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -v AIGLX (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Forgot to ask for this : Kevin, if you use another BIOS version (and before you upgrade), could you please run as root : "lspci -vvvxx" and compare/diff with my version attached to this bug ? Thanks.
Too bad I didn't save a lspci before upgrading the BIOS. Anyway, I saved a pre BIOS upgrade Xorg.0.log, and the "PCI Scan" section has only one little difference : before (bios 202, non working dvi): (II) PCI: 00:1b:0: chip 8086,293e card 1043,8277 rev 02 class 04,03,00 hdr 00 after (bios 405, working dvi): (II) PCI: 00:1b:0: chip 8086,293e card 1043,829f rev 02 class 04,03,00 hdr 00 So after bios update, "card 1043,8277" became "card 1043,829f" for this device. Oddly, this 00:1b seems to be the audio controller: ben$ lspci -s 00:1b 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Note this is using HDMI-to-DVI, and that on this motherboard, the audio chipset supports digital audio through HDMI. Could the audio chipset configuration affect xorg DVI output ? If so, could this problem find a workaround in kernel/xorg so users of an older BIOS revision don't hit the bug ? I attach a more detailed "sudo lspci -vvvxxxx" (with 4 "x" rather than 2, and 3 "v" rather than 2), that would better show the differences (Kevin, if you could attach the a "-vvvxxxx" rather than the previously asked "-vvxx", that'd be nice, thanks).

I suspect the BIOS is configuring the hardware differently now. We can fix the driver to do the same thing if we know what the differences are. If you add Option "ModeDebug" "yes" to the Device section of your xorg.conf file, it will dump lots of register information to the log file. Comparing broken vs non-broken machines may uncover something that we've neglected to configure in the driver.

Keith, is there anything else I can provide to help solve this?
Ben and I have been chatting and we're wondering if some of the problems could be due to Ben running in 32bit mode, while I'm running in 64bit mode. Could that be the reason why my hdmi interface does not work and his does?
Created attachment 13776 [details] Xorg.0.log : working and connected DVI, with Option "ModeDebug" "yes"
Here is a Xorg.0.log with debug on my _working_ DVI out setup, to compare with the Kevin's (broken DVI) one. At the end of the day, the BIOS version seems unrelated to the pb. Kevin (and someone else on the Ubuntu forums) upgraded to the same version than me, but that didn't fixed the problem. So I don't know what I changed to get the DVI out working. Very sorry. Note that even if DVI is working here, the display with DVI isn't very good : everything is blurry (esp. the fonts), and the colors pinky (esp. the greys parts). Switching back to VGA (with no config change), and everything displays properly and clearly again. Another weird difference with Kevin : I need to explicitly force XAA accel, else (with EXA) I get unusable display (no font and no icons are rendered, for instance). On the opposite, Kevin told me XAA is broken on his setup but EXA works well for him.
I've been reading about this board on the Asus forums and it seems there are even problems with Vista and the HDMI->DVI convertor. So I decided, I'll take the HDMI->DVI convertor out of the equation. So I went to the local BestBuy and got a brand new HDMI->DVI cable. Booted up the machine and the Bios screen works and the kernel messages work, until the intel driver is loaded. After that no signal. Anything else I can provide?
I was reading the asus forum for this bug and I found this post and response. http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20080122073058906&board_id=1&model=P5E-VM+HDMI&page=1&SLanguage=en-us It points to a fix for the EDID parser in the Windows driver that is updated here http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-028366.htm Is this possibly related to this bug. I would assume that the EDID parser in the Linux driver has be checked for this problem.
This bug has got a lot of information from our reporters. thanks! I'm re-assign this bug to Hong.

The output of xrandr when SDVOB is disabled and connected is that the display is plugged in and it does show the right monitor values. Just like in comment #1 > Or can you try to run intel_reg_dump frequently to see when the SDVOB is > disabled? How would you recommend doing this?
(In reply to comment #32) > How would you recommend doing this? > The disable of SDVOB causes the no display issue. But it should be enabled by our driver, not sure why this is disabled. Have you ever disabled the TMDS-1 output by xrandr? Thanks, Hong

bf6d59ee98127ac6447848c4202c54d861a510d4 on master is likely to fix this bug
Running a build taken Sunday night (GMT) but still no luck here even with those commit changes. Anything useful I can collect? From what I can see, the TVs problem is the refresh rate. As a side issue (may or may not be related), any attempts to change the mode with xrandr result in the command line coming back with no changes. (Running via remote desktop at this point - but when running on VGA,xrandr mode changes trigger a refresh of the remote desktop and redraw of the whole lot.)
I have the same motherboard and DVI output over HDMI->DVI converter works fine in X. I'm running current Arch Linux, xorg-server version 1.4.0.90, xf86-video-intel 2.2.1, motherboard bios version 301.

With my G35 Asus P5E-VM running Ubuntu 8.04 pre-rel x86-64 with Intel driver 2.2.1, I am seeing two symptoms, using the HDMI port w/ HDMI->DVI adapter: - dual-link DVI cable to projector -> unable to lock, so blank screen - single-link DVI cable to Belinea 1600x1200 LCD -> consistent off-by-2 Y size It seems entirely conceivable that my projector doesn't accept resolutions that aren't expected and untested via the DVI-D connection; I can readily see this happening on HDMI/DVI TVs which support only particular resolutions and possibly on particular digital monitors. Observations which make me tie the bug to the Intel driver: - during BIOS init and before Linux takes over, we see: - 640x480 - during Ubuntu's booting and VESA framebuffer use: - 640x480 - in X, testing various resolutions, the monitor reports: - 1600x1198 - 1280x1022 - 1280x958 - 1152x862 - 1024x766 - 800x598 - 640x478 All output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, xrandr etc, points the correct resolution being used, so it seems like a chip configuration/register setup issue. Let me know of useful information I can get and contribute!
There is a good chance of this being caused by a simple off-by-1 or 2 coding error; what debug do I need to dump the relevant register writes, or register state?

Running the VESA driver on mine, the driver thinks it's running at 1024x768 but the TV reckons 1026x769 (complete with annoying bright purple line for those 2 extra pixels!). The Intel driver has reverted back to completely refusing to work. Current setup: xorg server 1.3.0 (Gutsy standard) intel driver 1 week old git checkout (9th March) BIOS 405. I'm hoping to get hold of a DVI compatible PC monitor tomorrow on loan and then plan on having a play with the monitor and TV on different BIOS revisions to see if there is any difference there (assuming the monitor is happy enough with slightly off resolutions!) If anyone can think of other tests of information gathering that would be useful please let me know. Could there be something in xorg server 1.4.0 that's helping it? I could be wrong but of the working reports I've seen they seem to generally (if not all) be running 1.4.0 or above.

If the MiniPC doesn't have a HDMI port, how do you connect the HDMI->DVI cable to the machine?
The cable I had was a dual link DVI cable. The Asus MB comes with a HDMI->DVI adapter. So it was the same cable, but with the adapter attached.
I also had trouble with the HDMI/DVI output on this motherboard in combination with a Dell 24" screen (2405FPW). When connecting via the HDMI-DVI converter included with the motherboard, and a DVI cable, there is no image on the DVI, and the monitor actually 'locks up' because it cannot handle the signal sent to it (you have to pull out the cable in order to change the input choice or get the on screen menu). Reading about the SDVO cards I thought I'd give that a try as last resort. So I got one and plugged in in, and connecting the DVI cable directly to this card I have no problems running the panel at full resolution (and with a sharp image). If there is any logging that I can add that may help to fix the initial issue, let me know. I'm not an expert, but I have played around the xorg.conf and even managed to compile/install a driver myself, so I should be ok with moderate care :) [Though I must also add that I had some problems reverting back to an packaged driver so I'm not 100% sure my system is sufficiently clean to give good results. Will upgrade with a clean system once Kubuntu Hardy is out, should be soon]
A similar problem with an Asus P5E-V (ATX variant of the P5E-VM) + Asus MW221U LCD display. When connecting the monitor using the bundled HDMI/DVI converter, I get slightly blurry image, with the display reporting 1680x1049 (this time only one scanline less than expected, but the resolution is lower, too). Environment: 32 bit Fedora 8 with all the updates applied, various git driver checkouts. If there is more information that might be of any value (logs, dumps) - I'll grab it and post here.
I have the same problems described above with my Asus P5E-V HDMI motherboard. If there is anything I can test, please let me know. This machine isn't particularly useful for me if I can't get the second head to work, so I might as well do some debugging should that be required. I am trying to get my VGA and HDMI->DVI attached LCD panels to be dual-screen, as of yet I have been unable to get any output on the second (HDMI->DVI) head as soon as X starts, the screen goed blank and will not display anything, including the OSD, which to me suggests a bad mode of sorts.
(In reply to comment #50) I did a clean boot of the official Ubuntu 8.04 'desktop' release (live CD) and both with the SDVO card and without the result is a complete lockup of the PC (black screen, LCD recons the resolution is 640x480, tapping num/capslock does not do anything, cannot switch to Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.). This is on amd64 platform. The lockup seems to occur right after you can see it 'starting CUPS' in textmode, not 100% sure whether this is driver related (no logs available from the live boot), although it seems to match the result I got when upgrading the xorg/intel packages on a 7.10 install to those included with Hardy... With a clean reinstall of the official 7.10 release it works fine with the SDVO card as mentioned before using the included 'intel' driver (1920x1200, no blurred images).

I alos had the same problems with my Asus P5E-V HDMI motherboard. But HDMI -> DVI output is now working with intel git versions of the drivers from today. I think it was related to this bug : #15766

G35 on ASUS P5E-VM here with a DELL 20" DVI monitor (hooked up via the HDMI->DVI dongle). this fix nails it. thanks so much.
