On our 915GM machine, the TV did not connect, but xrandr reported TV was connected.

attachment #15980 [details] is the bug's xorg log file. Same log with bug #15559.
Comment 2 Michael Fu 2008-04-29 18:10:06 UTC
do we know if this is a regression? can we bisect?
Comment 3 Gordon Jin 2008-04-29 18:35:30 UTC
but the log says "Output TV disconnected" correctly. It seems the TV load detect code is random.

"the TV load detect code is random -- it will say 'yes' and 'no' alternately on some machines" - Keithp

Why is it random? Any comments?

The reason is not clear for now :(
Comment 7 Gordon Jin 2008-06-30 01:40:03 UTC
We can't reproduce this on 915GM now, so closing it.
Comment 8 Michael Fu 2008-07-03 18:58:26 UTC
is bug# 16566 a dup of this one?
Comment 9 Gordon Jin 2008-07-03 19:41:12 UTC
Maybe related(In reply to comment #8)

Maybe related somewhat, but with totally different symptons.

15663 is no TV connected in fact but randr reports TV connected.
16566 is with TV connected in fact but randr reports TV disconnected.

that's why called "random"? :)

result of zhenyu's experiment yesterday:

it seems that pull the TV cable out and type in 'xrandr -q', it still say TV connected. But run 'xrandr --auto' will refresh the state, then 'xrandr -q' will give correct status.

Might because the test machine was once used for TV testing before performed this test.. close this bug anyway.
