Description yotam 2009-01-11 11:47:19 UTC 
Dear sir. 

II have Intel graphic card of g45 series. My machine is located somewhat far from my screen and I had to use a 3m cable. The cable that was shipped with my screen is dvi-d single link (18+1 pins) and the only cable I could find was 24+1 cable. 

Using windows xp I had no trouble but on linux, xorg report "no screen found" with three distro (ubuntu, mint and opensuse). 

I hope you are the right address to turn to. 

I don't know  of anyone with short cable of dual link type so I can't tell if the trouble is with the 24 pins. 

below is the log output.

Thank you. 

Yotam

Comment 1 Gordon Jin 2009-01-11 17:19:56 UTC 
The driver is 2.4.1. Zhenyu, do you think recent driver may have fixed it?
Comment 2 Wang Zhenyu 2009-01-11 23:58:03 UTC 
No idea, but good to try 2.5.99.2 release, and with ModeDebug option on X log.

I wouldn't mind checking this but I need some howto info. I think it would be easy if there was a distro with this driver built in.
Comment 4 Wang Zhenyu 2009-01-12 00:24:43 UTC 
You can download the tarball from http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/. It requires libdrm 2.4.3.
Comment 5 yotam 2009-01-12 02:06:22 UTC 
I'm such an idiot

I checked my screen connection again and found that the cable is not fully plugged in. 

Sorry guys.
Comment 6 Wang Zhenyu 2009-01-12 17:11:00 UTC 
ok. Anyway we've also seen too long connect line causing display problem, so if you would hit it, also try a shorter one. ;)
