Xorg log when connecting to DVI

I own a Gigabyte Radeon HD 4350. When using the radeon driver, the video does not work.  I get a No Signal from my monitor.  I am using ubuntu 9.10, but other distros and versions all result in the same issue.  I get no signal even if I lower the resolution.  Video works fine with VGA, it is just DVI that has the issue. Xorg log is attached when connected to DVI.

Can you attach a copy of your video bios?  As root:
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id>
echo 1 > rom
cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom
echo 0 > rom

maybe wrong encoder?

Does the DVI port work during bootup before the radeon driver loads?  If not, this patch might help.

disable coherent mode

you might also try disabling coherent mode.  some monitor's don't like it. You can disable coherent mode via xrandr:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --set coherent_mode 0
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024

You can also try this patch which will disable coherent mode by default.

Vesa Registers with avivotool

Turning off coherent mode did not help, and the video card video works fine before radeon is loaded. As per our discussion, I have attached registered from fglrx, vesa and radeon.

Does git master (specifically 66b194a78c470cb3978f310828dd96c3f3e96944) help?

Xorg log with the latest master. 

With the changes to master, I still have the same issues. Here is the new log file.
Comment 10 Darren Blaber 2009-10-21 16:28:39 UTC
I have also tried 

avivotool regset 0x430 0x00580000
avivotool regset 0x43c 0x0000000b
avivotool regset 0x468 0x00000003

Changing 0x430 made my monitor say invalid frequency, and then when setting 0x43c it reverted back to same condition.  Also tried the patch at http://pastebin.ca/1636140 , did not change the issue. 
Comment 11 Alex Deucher 2009-10-21 22:07:47 UTC
do any of these help?

avivotool regset 0x7ed8 0x10100041

avivotool regset 0x7ec0 0x00033333
avivotool regset 0x7ec4 0x00824002
avivotool regset 0x7ec8 0x19401401
avivotool regset 0x7f54 0x08070000
Comment 12 Darren Blaber 2009-10-21 22:24:39 UTC
avivotool regset 0x7ec4 0x00824002

Seems to bring back video to my monitor.

Is it safe to try those regsets on my HD2400 Pro?

As I am suffering from the same issue here.

No, the display hardware is different.  Please open a new bug for your issue.

force golden value

This patch should work around the issue until I have time to further debug why this gets set differently in some cases.
