Description Mila Kuchta 2009-04-15 13:32:08 UTC
X starts in non-native resolution using latest Fedora-11 with Kernel Mode Setting enabled. X starts in 1024x768 even though kernel set the native resolution (1680x1050) right. From the log it looks like driver is asking EDID for VGA1 connector which is not really connected. Also it looks like the driver is asking EDID multiple times in a row. Is it right the driver asks for EDID if it's supposed to be modesetting-less driver (because of KMS)?

It sounds like VGA is wrongly detected.

Is there actually a VGA (D-sub) port on your board, and you just not connecting it? Or there's no VGA port but just a DVI-I port?
Comment 3 Mila Kuchta 2009-04-16 01:49:35 UTC
There is a D-Sub port on the board (DG43NB) but not actually connected to any monitor. Just the DVI is connected to LG L226WTQ monitor.

We have the same model. Jian, can you reproduce it with upstream driver? 

Comment 5 Michael Fu 2009-04-17 06:13:26 UTC
what if you revert commit 5ca58282089b11f64b911618036ee7676f12735b? thanks.
Comment 6 Mila Kuchta 2009-04-17 06:42:39 UTC
That may be the thing cause it has worked for a moment until new update arrived (very early) to Fedora-Beta that broke it again.

I have tried with kernel 2.6.29.1-KMS and the newest code on our DG43NB using DVI connecting the screen and the X start in 1920x1200 mode. As following shows: 
[root@x-g43 opt]# xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 519mm x 324mm
   1920x1200      60.0*+
   1280x1024      75.0
   1024x768       75.1     60.0

Comment 8 Michael Fu 2009-04-22 06:27:22 UTC
Hmm..sounds like a WORKFORME bug..Mila Kuchta, are you able to verify this on 2.6.29.1?
Comment 9 Mila Kuchta 2009-04-22 12:18:20 UTC
The bug *is* reported on 2.6.29.1. It is still valid even on newer Fedora build and stable driver version 2.7.0.

Comment 11 zhao jian 2009-04-23 19:01:58 UTC
I tested with the "F11 Beta 2009/04/29", it has the same issue on our platform. No matter which output I use(VGA or DVI), it will detect two connections with xrandr, so its actual resolution will set to the smaller one. But in dmesg I can see kernel set the native resolution right.

This bug is a duplicate of 21120, isn't it?

still, mila, are you able to revert the patch and see if it's the cause?

I'm really sorry being so late. I'm in process of changing apartment and currently w/o internet connectivity. I'll be able to revert the patch in a week or so. Hope it won't be so late.

Regards

Mila

I'm having the same problem on my G45. Asus P5Q-EM with three outputs, DVI, VGA and HDMI. Only DVI is used at the moment.

Reverting 5ca58282089b11f64b911618036ee7676f12735b does indeed fix this problem.

please try the debug patch in kms, thanks.

I have tested the patch on my g45 machine successfully.
The bug is because hdmi and vga both can not detect correctly.
For VGA hotplug detection we should use CRT_HOTPLUG_ACTIVATION_PERIOD_64 for all 4 series. For HDMI we should specify current HDMI port during detection process, instead of all ports-HDMIB/C/D.

Thanks

Hi,

I tried the patch on my G45, and it seems to work fine!
Comment 19 MaLing 2009-05-17 18:10:16 UTC
The root cause is from wrong VGA and HDMI hotplug detection.
