Xorg log
Some additional notes. With the xrandr command I've been attempting to change resolution and noticed that 1) 640x480 presents a blank black screen 2) 800x600 works as expected (from 640x480 up to doesn't display, 1024x768 down to does) 3) 1024x768 works as expected 4) 1280x768 presents a blank blue screen 5) 1360x768 presents a blank blue screen Not sure it's related to that bug Gordon. xrandr lists all the modes correctly. Also the issue is present if I boot with nomodeset param Which mode is used in your test? KMS mode /UMS mode?
Will you please try to boot the system with UMS mode and see whether the issue still exists? (By adding the boot option of "i915.modeset=0")
thanks.
(In reply to comment #5) > Also the issue is present if I boot with nomodeset param So this is not KMS issue. Does this ever worked before? If so, which version? Created attachment 24494 [details]
Xorg log with KMS disabled and modedebug set
Ok, tested again with both nomodeset and i915.modeset=0. Both resulted in the same. Text based plymouth was visible during boot up (hadn't been before, so possible I simply mistyped nomodeset at grub prompt). xrandr shows a limited set of resolutions available with modesetting disabled versus what's visible with it enabled.

there's been no updates on this and I noticed that this isn't listed on the 2.7 release blockers. I'll check out the latest driver next week but was wondering if there's explicitly anything further I can do to help ? Retested with latest updates for Fedora 11, 2.6.99.902-2.fc11 and 2.6.29.1-68.fc11.i586. No difference yet. Created attachment 25330 [details]
Boot with drm.debug=1
Updated my Fedora 11/Rawhide install to the latest from Rawhide, kernel 2.6.29-1.111. Booted with the drm.debug=1 and had rsyslog put kern.* in /var/log/kern.
SSH'd on and used grep "drm\|i915\|i2c" > drm_debug.log to create the attachment.

please try the debug UMS patch on your machine, thanks.
In order to reduce compile and debug time, I produce the debug patch in UMS code. please try it on your machine, then upload log file with modedebug optoin on.

Is it a laptop? what's the model of the machine? thanks. Ling's patch does resolve the issue from Comment #9 The system in question is a thin client pc from Lex Systems, based on the MI853A-1R10 motherboard. Based on the PCI id's used for the VGA controller (8086:3582), I'm guessing this is a derivative of an iBase board based on other ID's I've seen. Light-MI853A-1R10 Lexcom light system, w/MI853A-1R10 M/B Fanless system, Intel Celeron M 1Ghz CPU We've several hundred of these units in use across some very prestigious hospitals in London as Set Top Boxes, connecting to 26"/32" Philips hospitality TV's via the DVI port on the rear panel. Our current platform is a minimal install of Fedora Core 5 with some custom software written as the UI and VLC as the media player (controlled via the UI). I'm currently working on a platform upgrade for all our units (several thousand bedside terminals as well as these STB's) to a minimal Fedora 11 install but this bug is holding me back. I need to run the UI on the TV at 1360x768 to accommodate some feature changes requested by the hospital group. Currently the UI is minimal and running at 640x480. I've never been able to successfully get the linux drivers on Fedora 10 or 11 to correctly drive the TV at 1360x768. I've also connected the unit to a Dell 20" display that runs at 1680x1050, with the same problems. Under windows xp, both those setups on the same unit work as expected, so I know that the hardware is capable of driving the displays. Here's the output from xrander with the Dell monitor attached [root@localhost ~]# DISPLAY=:0 xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1680 TMDS connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 434mm x 270mm 1680x1050 59.9*+ 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 I'll create an attachment that shows the Xorg log. To recap, same problem again, the screen only shows a solid colour when running over 1024x768 *NOTE, just did a xrandr set of tests when connected to the Dell screen and noticed the following 1680x1050 == Solid colour 1280x1024 == Displays properly, X desktop off center (due to initial res most likely) 1152x864 == as above 1024x768 == as above 800x600 == solid black 640x480 == solid black 720x400 == Displays proplery, X desktop off center (due to initial res most likely) Created attachment 26917 [details]
Xorg log file with patch applied and nomodeset kernel param connected to a Dell 19" monitor over DVI
would Option "NoAccel" "True" help? The issue is in the DRM driver as well as the X driver, so I doubt it.... Just verified with a nomodeset boot and NoAccel set to true in the configs. Has the monitor vag output, and could you please try that so that we can narrow down issue to SDVO output ?

VGA connection, KMS enabled, no xorg config to limit display options
This is the xorg log showing the autodetection of the LVDS device which isn't connected.
The common resolutions between LVDS and VGA (640x480 & 800x600) are then used with the displays mirroring each other.

Log with Forced double width patch applied
Glen, would you be able to test more recent fedora to help us narrow down the problem? such as fedora 6/7/8/9/10 to see if any of them can get you the correct display on DVI? please continue to ignore LVDS in your xorg.conf... hopefully you can find LiveCD which could make the testing easier. thanks. Michael, I assume you mean an older Fedora release. I'll try updating to Rawhide to get the latest 2.6.30 series kernel and the 2.8.0 drivers. As for testing older releases, I'm not really in a position to do that time wise. I can say the following.... In Fedora Core 5, I have used the 915resolution tool to display at 1360x768 and also got a black screen Fedora Core 10 didn't work at all. Windows XP works perfectly (In reply to comment #45) > Michael, I assume you mean an older Fedora release. > > I'll try updating to Rawhide to get the latest 2.6.30 series kernel and the > 2.8.0 drivers.

And, I thought FC5 worked for you, did it? Running FC5, would you please attach 1) a xorg.log with Option "Modedebug" "True" in xorg.conf 2) intel_reg_dump output Would intel_reg_dump even run on a Fedora Core 5 system ?

Further testing today as part of the Fedora test day for intel drivers. Using their rawhide test iso I booted my hardware while connected only with DVI to the TV. Kernel 2.6.31-0.219.rc9.git2.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-13.20090909.fc12 Again, VGA was detected when nothing was plugged into that port and nothing displayed on the DVI connection during boot. Once X came up, Both the VGA and DVI where detected (no LVDS, which is an improvement) and where set to share at 800x600. If I use xrandr to turn off VGA and set DVI to the native resolution of the TV, 1360x768, I get a grey screen. Via ssh, "DISPLAY=:0 xwininfo -root" is showing that the resolution has set to 1360x768, but I've got a solid grey screen I'll create some attachements next with the output of the intel_gpu_dump and the vbios as previously requested.

Xorg log after from Fedora Rawhide testday
Here's the default Xorg.0.log after setting the display to 1360x768 and getting the solid grey color.
(clearing NEEDINFO) Hope this doesn't still happen... "Allocate new frame buffer 1360x768 stride 2048" Bizarre, given a 32bpp fb. Certainly won't say that today ;-) Anyway, hopefully this works... Thanks Chris, I'm actually due to resurrect a Fedora 14 build on that hardware next week. Any particular set of releases I should look at ? Please do! I'm confident that it all works... But nothing beats actually testing. |
