Description Tyson Whitehead 2008-09-23 18:12:46 UTC
I upgraded my laptop to the latest Debian radeon driver and the VGA output stopped working, so I got a copy of the git repository from freedesktop.org and used git bisect to discover the first commit at which is stopped working was "PLL adjustments" (92ee21df344a989778e37369c7beb3904a00ead6).

I'll attach a log file for the driver from the previous commit and this one for starting up the server with the VGA output attached.  The difference between them is:

Can you try again with ati git master?
Comment 4 Tyson Whitehead 2008-09-24 09:42:07 UTC
That did it.  The above diffed lines are once again:

(II) RADEON(0):   MC_AGP_LOCATION  : 0x003f0000
freq: 146250000
best_freq: 146250000

best_ref_div: 2
best_post_div: 6
(II) RADEON(0): crtc(1) Clock: mode 146250, PLL 146250

I'll mark the bug report as fixed.  : )

Thanks!  -Tyson
