Description Luca Niccoli 2010-09-05 04:29:09 UTC
I'm trying KMS on my laptop with an HD3470; if I don't pass new_pll=0 as a parameter to the module, thin horizontal blue lines flash all around the laptop screen, both in X and in the console. A screen attached via HDMI is unaffected.

Hi, i'v a dell studio 15 laptop with rv620 chipset, 

i didn't have problem with new pll algo (last d-r-t kernel git,mesa git,libdrm-git,xf86-ati-git), with my internal lvds or external hdmi screen.


i think i have add this problem of blue lines at the beginning of new ppl around february, but it was solved:

What kernel are you using?  Perhaps you are hitting the same bug Alexandre which was fixed in a newer kernel.  Can you try 2.6.35?

I'm already using 2.6.35...

Ok.  Then the patch should fix the issue for you.  Can you confirm?
