seat

greetings,

I have a HD5450 hooked up to my lcd tv as part of a multiseat setup.
every few seconds the feed flickers.

usually I use xbmc to view content but it happens with VBox too.

Please attach your xorg log and dmesg output.  Does setting radeon.disp_priority=2 on the kernel command line in grub help?

use frac FB div on DCE4+

Does this patch help?
Comment 3 dagg 2013-10-19 07:13:25 UTC
greetings,

sorry it took long to answer, it seems that the time between one flickering to another has got bigger, from one every sec I have now one every few minutes.

this might be related to the fact that I'm running mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-ati from git an update them every week.

anyway, here are dmesg and xorg log (I was sure I attached it but it seems that i didn't).

I'll try now with radeon.disp_priority=2 and report back.

tried with radeon.disp_priority=2, screen still flickers, this time much earlier.

trying with the patch and without radeon.disp_priority=2

with the patch applied it still flickers, moreover it might have increased the rate of flickering.

not sure if it is relevant but I use a 10 meters cable to connect the tv to the computer

That's a bit much. Could you try with a shorter one to make sure it's not the cable?
