Xorg.0.log from ati 6.6.191 (not working)
ii xserver-xorg 7.2-2 the X.Org X server
ii xserver-xorg-core 1.3.0.0.dfsg-1 X.Org X server -- core server
ii xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.3-2 X.Org X server -- ATI display driver
This combo works here with xorg.conf which I will attach in a moment.
Upgrading xserver-xorg-video-ati to 6.6.191 break work. My LCD panel starts to switch from DVI (here card is connected) to VGA (nothing connected) and back.

Created attachment 10098 [details] Xorg.0.log from ati 6.6.192 (not working) driver built from GIT tree: commit 975da595f032c145ad74079ff8edeaead779dc7b Author: Michel Dänzer <michel@tungstengraphics.com> Date: Tue May 22 10:56:47 2007 +0200 Next time I will avoid ATI cards. This is due to the bios connector table being bogus. It used to work in the older version of the driver since we restored just about all the output regs unconditionally; however in the newer driver we have finer grained control over what outputs are are used and how they are routed so if the tables are bogus things are more likely to break. Also, the XPRESS chips are completely undocumented and as such we are not sure what all components they have or how they are wired up. Some have reported that DVI is provided by an external TMDS chip; as such it's possible that XPRESS chips don't actually have the built-in TMDS. We probably need to bring in something like the "ConnectorTable" option in the randr-1.2 branch so that we can override all aspects of the connectors (DDC line, tmds type, DAC, etc.). In meantime I bought NVidia 6600GT card and do not use ATI on-board any more. If testing will be needed I can try new code. i had a similar issue recently, albeit with a bit different ati x300se card. it's fixed now in git (after randr1.2 merge) and the driver works for me. maybe you should try again with newest git. ( my bug was #11850 , for reference ). This should work with latest git. closing. reopen if you are still having issues with the latest code from git. |
