Description Matt Clarke 2008-10-11 04:43:49 UTC
When I connect my monitor up via DSUB i have no problems except from some analogue inteference. But when I connect my monitor with DVI all I get is a blank black screen. The monitor indicates if there isn't a signal but in this case it doensn't indicate that so it seems to be getting a signal but one which is just blank hopefully this is an easy fix! Let me know if theres any more info/logs you need.

At least attach a log file generated with the '-logverbose 7' command line option.

Well, the original reporter may not have been prepared to follow up with more details but I am. Like the original poster, I am on an AMD 64-bit system, running Fedora 11.

My card is a Club HD2400 Pro which X identifies as "ATI Technologies Inc RV 610LE PCI [Radeon HD 2400]". I wonder if the "LE" is significant. 

The website (http://www.club-3d.com/products/products_ending_page_7_with_id.cfm?product_id=39) just identifies the chipset as RV610.

The driver I'm using is version 1.2.5 (http://www.club-3d.com/products/products_ending_page_7_with_id.cfm?product_id=39).

Like the original poster, with the DVI connection I just get a blank screen. The monitor reports 'no signal detected', and not 'no cable connected'. I'm using the HD2400 as the secondary card. With an analogue connection I can get the monitor to work, but at reduced resolution as analogue does not support the full 1920x1080.

With xrandr I can see the card and the DVI connection appears to be ok:

Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)?  If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component.  

Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver.  Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.
Comment 8 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-11-07 15:11:16 UTC
Closing due to lack of response.  Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon 
component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
