Ubuntu Jaunty with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.6.3 recompiled with KMS support. Linux 2.6.30-rc3. Intel DG33TL motherboard, x86_64. Dell 2007WFP monitor connected through DVI with 1680x1050 native resolution. If I change the resolution to a lower setting (1024x768, 640x480, etc) then the screen goes blank and the monitor reports "Out of range signal". If I boot with "i915.modeset=0" then this does work. dmesg reports: [ 139.742393] [drm] TMDS-8: set mode 640x480 16 [ 145.563191] [drm] TMDS-8: set mode 1680x1050 17 Booting into the native resolution works fine and gives a very cool/big console. xrandr does report: sean@triffid:~$ xrandr -q xrandr: output DVI1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none" Please ask if there is anything I can try or do to assist in debugging this.

It's a known issue that only native resolution supported in KMS with current code. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 20801 ***
Unfortunately bug 20801 did not resolve this issue. Now running: kernel 2.6.31-rc2 Latest from http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu , e.g.: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.0+git20090724.9a45ace2-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty Still getting "Out of range signal" when going to non-native mode. xrandr still says: sean@triffid:~$ xrandr xrandr: output DVI1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none"
Will you please attach the xorg.log with modedebug option enabled in xorg.conf? Please also attach the output of vbios dump. the vbiso dump can be obtained by using the following commands: echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom > vbios.dump echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom Thanks.

would you please help to grab two register dumps? 1) running KMS, after set mode to non-native mode, ssh/telnet to the machine and run intel_reg_dump and save its output 2) running UMS (with i915.modeset=0), after set mode to the same mode as above ( but should work), run intel_reg_dump and save the output. the MB also have VGA port. Does it work well in KMS in non-native mode? >sean@triffid:~$ xrandr >xrandr: output DVI1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none" does xrandr output more than that? if so, would you pls attach the whole output as well? thanks.
When using the VGA output on the same monitor (disconnecting DVI) then non-native resolutions *do* work with KMS. xrandr behaves strangely with KMS. When running xrandr before the first switch to non-native, the output is: sean@triffid:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 2048 x 2048 VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 434mm x 270mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) As soon as I switch to 640x480 (and before switching back), the output is: sean@triffid:~$ xrandr xrandr: output VGA1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none" When I then switch back to native resolution, xrandr keeps on giving the same broken result. It does not seem to work until the next reboot. Same ouput for KMS with DVI. However, in this case, non-native resolutions do *not* work. After reboot with DVI connected: sean@triffid:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 2048 x 2048 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 434mm x 270mm 1680x1050 59.9*+ 1280x1024 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 After first mode switch: sean@triffid:~$ xrandr xrandr: output DVI1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none" and then the same until the next reboot..

From comparison we can see only two difference, vgactrl and dpll_a register setting, the difference from dpll_register seem to be trival. So please try the patch http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-July/003564.html in KMS mode, then upload the register dump with the same enviroment with that in comments #10. Thanks Ma Ling
Running here with: $ dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel | cat xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.0+git20090728.50e2a673-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty In /etc/apt/sources.list I have: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main That version includes the commit mentioned in comment #12.
Based on the diff of the register dump, I tried setting the registers in KMS mode according to what they are in UMS mode. Steps to reproduce: - Monitor connected via DVI - KMS kernel - Go to a resolution of 640x480 (using scummvm) - "Out of Range Signal" on monitor - Login remotely using ssh $ sudo intel_reg_write 0x6014 0xd4020030 Value before: 0xD4020000 Value after: 0xD4020030 And the screen appears! Note this motherboard only has DVI and VGA. I have no idea what SDVO means, which is mentioned in the output of intel_reg_dumper. While in native mode, this register seems to be 0xd4020000. If I set it to 0xD4020030 while in native resolution the screen goes blank.
Verified again on latest: linux-2.6 a33a052f19a21d727847391c8c1aff3fb221c472 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.0+git20090804.af45482a-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty Using VGA all is ok. With DVI, screen goes blank after switching to 640x480, but does work if I login with ssh and execute: $ sudo intel_reg_write 0x6014 0xd4020030 Also upgraded bios to latest version on DG33TL, released on the 15th of July. No problems using UMS.
Created attachment 28389 [details] [review] Fixes DVI problem After comparing the UMS code and KMS code, I found that there was a missing condition in the kernel code for the G33 chipset. With this patch, switching to 640x480 in KMS mode does work on my G33.
nice work! thanks, Sean.

This is a sync issue about SDVO device between UMS and KMS. The patch is already sent to the intel-gfx mailing list. >http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-August/003950.html Thanks.
The patch is already shipped in Eric's drm-intel-next tree. commit 942642a412454c3365f0abc8399c8ef2944f4eac Author: Sean Young <sean@mess.org> Date: Thu Aug 6 17:35:50 2009 +0800 drm/i915: Set the multiplier for SDVO on G33 platform So this bug will be marked as resolved. Thanks.
