Please provide these patches for old openchrome 0.3.0 and attach

The patches mentioned above have been pushed to master some time ago and are part of the 0.3.2 release.

What Willem is seeing is a failure to initialize the driver because the selected mode has been rejected by iga[12]_crtc_mode_fixup. However, the current code is not verbose at all on the reason for the rejection. I'm attaching a patch that doesn't fix the issue, but should provide more information on the mode rejection.

The same mode rejection bug has been reported already and has been somewhat worked around by changing the connected monitor and thus the used mode.
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63194

Changing the screen won't indeed work here as the screen is a TV set, but it might be possible to tweak HorizSync and VertRefresh in the X conf to work around it. Anyway, this look as a regression, either in openchrome or in the X server and would need a proper fix.

Bartosz, I've assigned the ticket back to openchrome-devel ML so the replies are still going to the mailing list. You're still in CC: though.

make iga[12]_crtc_mode_fixup more verbose when the mode is rejected

Just did some more testing.
Disconnected the TV and connected a 1920x1080 panel through DVI.
Removed the /etc/X11/xorg.d/10-monitor.conf to rely on defaults and auto detects.

Same error.
Attached Xorg.0.log.

patch to allow probing tv out

Ok, I think I understand what is happening now. The tv out port is not probed because of commit 76515c8a369346d76864e55610a6a747d9b152d8
Please try this patch, it should fix the issue.

still no joy

Attached the Xorg.0.log when there is only a DVI panel connected. No joy in starting up LXDM.

When there is a TV connected, the box completely freezes. I lose connection - even ping does no longer work, so seems to me a kernel freeze.

The boot-blurb is shown on the TV set but when it tries to start LXDM the box freezes... There is no way I can get the Xorg.0.log file. The file is empty at the moment this happens (this I know because the box boots from the network and I can look into the "local" files on the server...).

Do you know how to use git ? We need to bisect to see where the problem is.

I think I do... I just cloned the latest one, then applied the patch
provided by Xavier, recompiled, re-installed.
Do you want me to try the latest git?

We no longer support older releases like Version 0.3.x.
If the problem persists with the latest official release version (Version 0.5) or the latest OpenChrome Git repository code (Version 0.5.181), please file a new bug report against the latest version.
I will be closing the bug report due to these reasons.
