After number of experiments I've managed to get proper image in native resolution. Hit rate is very low though, it takes about 20 tries fiddling with xrandr trying to get the right sync.

Here is my theory: the monitor is one physical panel taking data from two DP inputs making a final composited image from both, side by side. It probably takes one output as a reference and tries to synchronize scanlines from the other. It also probably expects equal timings and particular frames sent at the same moment on both outputs.

When I see tearing (e.g. scrolling a large image) it's consistent across whole image, on both outputs.

This was normally not the case when I had two monitors connected to each DP port in a clone mode - tearing was at different positions (perhaps not relevant, but worth to mention).


Related xf86-video-intel options:

  Option  "TearFree"           "off"
  Option  "VSync"              "on"
  Option  "DRI"                "3"
  Option  "Present"            "on"
  Option  "ReprobeOutputs"     "off"
  Option  "HotPlug"            "off"
  Option  "HWRotation"         "off"
  Option  "DebugFlushCaches"   "off"
  Option  "DebugWait"          "on"
  Option  "DebugFlushBatches"  "off"
  Option  "FallbackDebug"      "off"

(basically random options but seem to help a little)

This is with 4.7.0 kernel (zen patchset), from drm point of view it's basically vanilla with the following patches:

  drm/i915/skl: Add support for the SAGV, fix underrun hangs
  drm/i915/skl: Fix redundant cursor update, fix cursor underruns 

So yes, it is possible to drive the monitor with current SW, just the drivers need some tweaking. Hope this helps...

Maybe looking at xinerama helps. Xinerama does not produce syncing issues.

btw. the issues are also the same on fedora 25 (kernel 4.8), dell up2715k and nouveau (gtx 960).

Same problem here with Dell 5K and a Skylake i915 cpu/gpu.

I think the problem is that the intel driver is assigning seperate PLLs for each port.  The capability exists to share a common PLL clock source for both ports.

I suspect the Windows driver sees both ports have the same resolution and framerate and shares a PLL automatically.

Is there a way to force PLL sharing to test this theory?

I use a Dell UP2715K with Arch Linux.

And since last week (Update to nvidia Driver 375.10) it works like a charm. 

----

Nvidia Driver Version: 375.10
Xorg: 1.18.4 (11804000)
Kernel: 4.8.6.1

Same issue here as well. Tried on Fedora 25 on a Dell XPS 15 (9550) laptop and the Dell 5k monitor (up2715k). It looks exactly like the corruption image that Tomas Bzatek posted.

It freaked me out at first because the flickering that happened sort of "burned in" to the monitor. Even when I unplugged it from the laptop it was still flickering the same image. If anyone else runs into this, just leave it running at a 4k resolution (or any that doesn't have the corruption issues) and eventually it fixes itself.

I'm using Skylake i915 CPU/GPU (HD Graphics 530). I confirmed it wasn't hardware since it works on Windows. After years of Linux I had to revert back to Windows so that I can use the monitor at its real resolution. =\

Will be watching this issue so I can hopefully bounce back to Linux again. I can help test/debug as well.

@david

The flickering und tiling issue is a problem of the UP2715k. See here:

http://www.dell.com/support/article/de/de/debsdt1/The_Left_and_Right_side_of_screen_do_not_sync/align

often after these distortions you have constant flickering for 30-60 Minutes. (see the DELL remarks)

I think it was too early for DELL, to jump into the 5K-market.

Well for the time being I managed to make it run by using the buggy BFS scheduler (out-of-the-tree CFS process scheduler replacement) that somehow makes the whole drm subsystem laggy. Please disregard my findings in comment 3, it's more or less independent of Xorg settings. No luck with setting up Xinerama either (in reply to comment 4).

My theory is that the bug causes delaying the phase the outputs are set up and once the lag is over, it activates both outputs at the same moment. It's lame but it's a sufficient workaround for now :-)

And when the outputs are in sync, the monitor holds the sync for a whole day, without flickering. There are no issues with cursor or windows DP1 <-> DP2 transition either, it really feels like a single screen, even tearing is in sync. Good work on that front.


Unfortunately I didn't have much time to debug this issue, it's still on my TODO list though. Assigning common PLL clock source (as suggested in comment 6) could be the way to go. I've also tried patching the kernel to delay the second output to be in vsync with the first (as suggested by intel developers on irc), with no luck so far.

Hey Tomas Bzatek,

Would you have any instructions on how I may get the same version of BFS running? Would really love to get a working Linux even if it is buggy in other ways. Also, when I plug the monitor in, it doesn't correctly configure both monitors together. I have to manually put in some xrandr commands: `xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 2560x2880 --output DP-2 --mode 2560x2880 --right-of DP-1` Something like this. Is this what you're doing, or do you have an xorg config? Or does your desktop just auto-detect?

As soon as I run the above command is when I get the really weird and glitchy tiling errors with flickering that stays for a while. I actually tried using the kernel in this repo (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hubbitus/kernel-pf/) which uses MuQSS instead of BFS, but same issue. I may try compiling BFS into the kernel to see if that works instead.

UP2715K with Arch Linux, but I can't get 5k resolution in gnome, 5k seems to be stretched and I can only see half of the full screen. 

Can you tell me some details?

Nvidia Driver Version: 375.20
Xorg: 1.18.4 (11804000)
Kernel: 4.8.10.1

I also use Gnome. You have to set the display to its native resolution (5.120 x 2.880) in Gnome-Display-Settings. Or to 2x 2560x2888 in nVidia-Settings.

Both ways work. And the "two half displays" are handled as one by Gnome automatically.

Screenshot: http://www.naanoo.com/upstream/gnome-5k.png

Drop me an e-mail for the workaround with BFS.

Please keep this discussion on-topic and strictly technical. This bugreport is related to intel drm, you may need to clone it to discuss other GPUs.

Any news on this issue?  

Is it worth trying a new version yet?

Last time I tested it my monitor was unusable for over 24 hours so I'm not keen to be a guinea pig.

But I would like to able to test my "PLL sharing" theory (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97244#c6)

Sorry Andrew, didn't have time to dive into the sources and hack the PLL sharing theory yet.

Elio, is the NEEDINFO targeted to the original reporter? As far as I've tested the drm-intel branch about a month ago, the issue was still present. I'll retest tonight again.

Yes, my bad, probably we need to check this issue with latest kernel version so far. 4.10 since a lot of new patches were merged for DP. Changing state

Just tested latest drm-intel and vanilla 4.11-rc1, both with the same bad results. The result in attachment 125593 [details] still stands. Also tried turning "nuclear_pageflip" module argument on and off, with no difference.

If anyone does have the hardware and Windows readily available, dumping the PCI MMIO BAR on Windows would let us check how it configures the hardware in this case. Alas, I have no idea what the tool for dumping it is.

Btw if the display requires special handling for the two port operation, the driver also needs to identify the case. Please attach 'xrandr --verbose' output for when the displays work.

Created attachment 130582 [details]
xrandr --verbose

Attaching 'xrandr --verbose' output grabbed at the moment when it all comes up synchronized. Screen tiles can be identified by parsing the DisplayID data - see bug 95207.

I have a Windows 7 installation on my external HDD that works but since I'm a Windows lame I will need guidance with the PCI BAR dump...

Reporters, is issue still valid on latest drm-tip?

Yes, this is still a problem with latest drm-tip.

However I noticed recently that the image is torn at a consistent point across multiple output mode switching - previously with 4.8/4.9 kernel the image was torn differently everytime the target resolution was set on both outputs.

So there's a level of improvement (and hope) now, still the outputs are not in sync.

Regarding the PCI MMIO BAR dump on Windows - I still don't have an idea how to make such dump...

Yes, this is still a problem.

Using 4K, you can connect only one  monitor first, change resolution to 1920x1080, then connect the other monitor an change the resolution to the same (1920x10180)

So I don't know what you're observing, but the original report is about a very specific issue. The UP2715K display has two DP inputs to support 5k in a single display [1]. From the driver perspective, at least currently, they are treated as two separate displays, while the display may have stricter requirements about e.g. PLL syncing. I would be rather hesitant to make conclusions about tests done with two physically separate displays.

Hello everyone,
Any update on trying to get the PCI MMIO BAR dump in Windows?
Thank you.

Hi Elizabeth,

as far as I understand we're still missing a howto for the dump. I'm able to grab one as long as a list of tools and brief howto is provided (see comment 19 and comment 21).

So the NEEDINFO status should be on your developers, not the reporters. You may also try to forward this query to your colleagues in the Windows driver team inhouse, perhaps they would know more.

Hello,

do you still need the PCI MMIO BAR dump?
Or there is already a solution?

I recently tried to acquire a dual DP port 5k display, but they are really hard to come by. Seems like Dell's discontinued UP2715K.

Basically the background of the issue is that for the driver, the display shows up as two DP displays, due to the two DP ports, and the legacy modesetting tries to enable them like two independent displays. It's just that the display apparently requires much better sync for enabling and driving the two parts.

Hi, I can help with debugging the problems, I have two Dell UP2715K running on Arch Linux @ 5K

My setup looks like this:
2 Dell UP2715K -> 5k
2 Asus MG24U -> 4k

They all are setup like this from left to right: https://goo.gl/sfmUjU

This was possible ONLY because I used the "Xinerama" in "nvidia-settings" and this is the only 
configuration that worked and allowed me to have 4 monitors up at their native resolutions.

My GPUs
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070] [10de:1b81] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP106GL [Quadro P2000] [10de:1c30] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])



Before getting to this config I have tried and spend two days of continuous trial and error with xrandr, notihing worked.
If the monitors were up on then the image will flicker  wildly, if not flicker the what ever I did the image would how only on one half of the screen the other one would be black (screen off)


etc, complete misery 


Now, this Xinerama shows up and works @ 5k / 4k , the problem is that if I start many activities the whole thing becomes slow, noticeably.
I suspect that xrandr (disabled by the xinerama) would work then it would be a lot faster



So, here, use me, I want these beasts at their best

Hello Nicolae, thanks for offering. You can give a visit to the irc of the developer community for more direct communication: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/community

I'm also in the UP2715K boat with screen corruption.

There's a range of software which appears to provide information about PCI devices. I've been looking at PCIScope, it gives you access to the PCI registers and there is a dump facility.

I'm brand new to PCI though and I don't know how to translate the base address to the actual location of the MMIO registers. It feels like there's far too little information in the dump tab.

http://envytools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hw/mmio.html#gf100-mmio-map

Supposedly this page contains the Nvidia MMIO map for GF100 devies and onwards (GP102 here). 

What are we actually looking for in this dump? It was mentioned but never specified what can be found that would be helpful for achieving sync for the two panel halves.

RWEverything PCI dump

Still a problem with drm-tip 2018y-01m-18d-18h-18m-07s

I was finally able to grab the PCI configuration space from a Windows 7 system running full resolution - see attached. The dump was created with the RWEverything tool. Let me know if you need any other memory region, hope this one would be useful.

Although Dell UP2715K is now EOL, there are some other panels on the market requiring dual DP1.2 inputs: HP Z27q, Philips 275P4VYKEB. Although no idea what controllers do these panels use.

Nice one Tomas, I was completely lost in attempting to do this.

It's not just the 5K monitors of the past, Dell's Ultrasharp UP3218K is an 8K tiled monitor currently available and Phillips has previewed the 328P8K which is set to release this year as well.

So far as I see it, this approach to the cutting edge isn't going to go away and as these monitors enter the second hand market, they represent excellent value for money, and are at times the only option to have access to such high resolutions. The first single port solution (ignoring the LG TB3 monitor which only works properly with Mac) is only just hitting the market, some 3 or so years after the first 5K monitors dropped.

Related bug about LG 5k is bug 105198.

First of all. Sorry about spam.
This is mass update for our bugs. 

Sorry if you feel this annoying but with this trying to understand if bug still valid or not.
If bug investigation still in progress, please ignore this and I apologize!

If you think this is not anymore valid, please comment to the bug that can be closed.
If you haven't tested with our latest pre-upstream tree(drm-tip), can you do that also to see if issue is valid there still and if you cannot see issue there, please comment to the bug.

Still a problem with drm-tip 2018y-03m-30d-18h-56m-26s

Both the bug 105198 and bug 105651 mostly concern logical monitor setup issues. What we're seeing here in this bugreport is a hardware sync problem. See also my comment in bug 105198#c19

The radeon bug 99801 is basically what I'm seeing also on i965. Although that's on HP Z27q however the corruption/flicker seems to match. You may try to acquire this one for testing if the Dell UP2715K is not available anymore.

So this bugreport has been open for almost two years now with little to no improvement... Who should I bribe to make this issue fixed? :-) If there's anything else needed from the reporter side, please let us know.

Jani, any advice to move here?

This and the previous issue may also apply to the Retina 5k iMac series, as those are identical panels to the Dell 5k panel, and are also dual DP input tiled. I can try to grab a RWEverything dump from Boot Camp running on my iMac, as well as EDID dumps.

This is probably being caused since the feature called transcoder port sync is required for synchronizing across two pipes two ports.
This is currently not enabled in the driver. IMHO, until this is enabled, the driver should prune this mode so that the userspace only sees 4K as the preferred mode and doesnt try to modeset for 5K and cause corruption.

I bought the LG Ultrafine 5k and with latest kernel (5.2.8-200.fc30.x86_64), the montior is detected correctly and works without any problem. Although, the maximum resolution is only 4096x2304, not 5120 × 2880.

Yes, same as with the Dell UP2715K - the 4k resolution is the preferred one as a fallback. You need to manually set 2560x2880 on both outputs.

Since the LG Ultrafine 5K is a TB3 monitor, I suppose you see two panels attached. Please verify that the 2560x2880 resolution is available on both.

I only see one panel with Fedora 30 latest kernel.

Hi Diem,

With the LG 5K monitor, the issue is that the tile information is in the second DisplayID block which we currently dont parse so it doesnt set the tile prop for the connector and hence just falls back to the next available non tiled resolution.

This issue fixing is on our todo list as well.

Hi Tomas,

This issue with 5K tiled display synchronization should be fixed on the ICL+ based Intel graphics that has a transcoder port sync feature to synchronize the vblanks and timings on both ports. Please see the patch series on the M-L: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/intel-gfx/list/?series=137339

We are also working on trying to find an alternate solution to avoid this screen corruption on older platforms.

Logs with 5K HPz27q

I was able to get 5K HPz27q 317b monitor for some time. Below are the observation on HPz27q Monitor with two DP cables connected to a KBL machine.

*****General Observation*****
The monitor settings has two modes, DP1.0 and DP1.2.
One of the connector is enumerated as 'tiled' and the other as non tiled.

The non-tiled connector has modes starting from 2K and below, and the tiled connector has just one mode 2560x2880.
No corruption observed in this case.

In case of DP2.0 two connectors are enumerated, both tiled.
One connector has modes from 3849x2160 and below. 2560x2880 being preferred mode.
The other has 2560x2880 mode, also preferred.

The issue is seen when both the modes selected are 2560x2880. This results like two halves of screens not in sync.

*****Experiment with different patches*****

I collected logs in 3 cases:
1. Without any patch (vanilla)
2. With patch to prune the 2560x2880 mode, only for tile with HLOC and VLOC as 0.
3. With a patch to force the connector property as 'false'

Logs for which are attached.
Note 1: I had changed the display info to provide the Tile information, in case the connector 'has_tile' is true.
Note 2: I had checked and collected logs with single display and also with dual display configuration with DP1.2 monitor settings.
Note 3: The mode is changed using xrandr.
 
case1:
-Without any patch : 2560x2880 modeset on both connectors causes corruption.

case2:
-With 2560x2880 mode pruned for one of the tile : Only one of the connector shows 2560x2880 mode.
2560x2880 modeset on any the remaining connector resulted in blank screen.
Any other modeset works.

case3:
-With has_tile connector property forcibly reset : The connector listed as not tiled but still, 2560x2880 modeset on any the connectors causes blank screen.
Any other modeset works.

To summarize, pruning on just one tiled connector does not solve the issue, if we need to prune, we need to do it for both the connectors.
Secondly, the forcible setting of has_tile = 'false' also, does not help, and resulted in blank screen when 2560x2880 mode is applied.
So IMHO if we need to prune the mode 2560x2880, we need to prune it for both the connectors.

Not KBL but SKL machine. Sorry for the typo.

Anyone knows if the patch has been already included in latest kernel version?
