Provide a full xorg log at least. Created attachment 20685 [details] Xorg.log (In reply to comment #1) > Provide a full xorg log at least. Oops :) I thought i replied a long time ago, sorry for that. Please get vbtracetool (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/DumpingVideoBios), look at the QUICKSTART and get me two bios traces (normal and io) and a bios dump. It's ofcource no garuantee, but i'll try to look at it. Note that the bios traces should be done while in text mode. Created attachment 22641 [details]
IO logging a mode set

Sorry for being so incredibly slow, long story & I'll spare you the defails, but I finally got (new) hardware to test this on. I've attached the BIOS & IO trace. The POST trace is available at http://dev.exherbo.org/~ingmar/nouveau/ HTH, Ingmar Created attachment 22771 [details] [review] A patch that makes things work, hopefully. Give this a try, if the display starts acting crazy, then please turn it off. Your notebook is rarity (not supporting ddc on lvds), so i have little to compare against. I made a mistake, hopefully i'll have a better patch later on. Could you create a mmio-trace of the nvidia/blob driver? http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace (In reply to comment #9) > Could you create a mmio-trace of the nvidia/blob driver? > > http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace I'll have a go at it. Do you still want me to try your last patch from Comment #7? No, i was wrong. Later i found a hint, but i have to find another place to retrieve this information from, so i'm hoping a mmiotrace will tell me that. It'll still be a needle in a haystack, but without a mmiotrace i have no chance of finding it. This really should work now with the latest code, and kernel modesetting. Can you confirm? (In reply to comment #12) > This really should work now with the latest code, and kernel modesetting. Can > you confirm? No reponse from the reporter for more than 6 months. Closing. If the problem still exists on current version, please reopen with new set of logs. |
