[Problem]
DVI outputs are not being reported properly and do not work correctly.

[Original Report]
As you can seen on the automatically generated bug report, xrandr lists 3 outputs, one VGA which works perfectly, plus 2 HDMI outputs. This board however only has 2 DVI outputs. One is DVI-I which I use with a VGA adaptor. The other one is a DVI-D which was connected to another monitor with DVI-D input.

Only the analog output of the first DVI-output works, the rest doesn't seem to work. To be fair it might be a problem with my monitor as it neither works on the BIOS setup screens. The monitor is fairly old, but once worked with an old ATI card.

xrandr correctly reports output, VGA(connected), 2 HDMI outputs(disconnect),
it is not bug because our driver will enumerate all output from motherboard,
even if you only use DVI-I to connect VGA output, but 2 HDMI outputs are not connected, so they are showed as disconnect correctly.

Thanks for your help, I will close it, please open it if you need.

bug reporter actually connect _two_ monitors to his computer:

"One is DVI-I which I use with a VGA adaptor. The other
one is a DVI-D which was connected to another monitor with DVI-D input.

This bug isn't solved yet, but it has changed. I'm currently using Kernel version 2.6.31-10 from Ubuntu on the same system as before and now xrandr reports:

Comment 9 Christian Berger 2009-09-11 07:32:09 UTC
I have found a crude workaround. Entering the following commands will enable the output. It seems as if it's a bug in detecting the monitor.

xrandr --addmode DVI1 1024x768
xrandr --output DVI1 --mode 1024x768
xrandr --output DVI1 --right-of VGA1

Will you please try to add the boot option of "drm.debug=the latest Dave's drm-next tree and attach the output of dmesg?
    You can use the following command to get the Dave's drm-next tree.
    1. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git
   2. git branch -r
   3. git checkout -b origin/drm-next

Please also attach the output of vbios.dump . The vbios.dump can be obtained by using the following command:
    1. echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom
    2. cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom > vbios.dump
    3. echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom


It will be great if you can do the following test with KMS disabled by adding the boot option of "i915.modeset=0".
   a. add the modedebug option in xorg.conf ( option "modedebug" "true")
   b. attach the xorg.0.log.

Thanks.

Sorry for typo.

Will you please try to add the boot option of "dr.debug=15" on the latest Dav'es drm-next tree and attach the output of dmesg?
How to get the Dave's drm-next tree can be referred in comment #10.

check whether the HDMI is connected or not by reading the EDID

Will you please try the debug patch and attach the output of Xorg.0.log?
Please do the test under UMS mode.

Thanks.
Comment 13 Christian Berger 2009-09-25 11:01:25 UTC
Unfortunately I haven't been able to run that kernel, however I think I might have found the problem. It thinks the EDID checksum is invalid. I assume it's a problem with the monitor.

thanks for the test.
What you said is right. It seems that the EDID checksum in invalid. As the EDID is required for the HDMI/DVI-D port, it will be regarded as disconnected.

Will you please try another monitor and see whether it can work?

Thanks.

Comment 15 Christian Berger 2009-09-26 22:00:30 UTC
Unfortunately I do not (yet) have another monitor with DVI connector. I'll try my best.

have you ever make this monitor work on this DQ45CB board before? i.e. is this a regression? thanks.
Comment 17 Christian Berger 2009-09-26 22:15:42 UTC
Nope, this monitor never worked with that board. But it did work on an old ATI card. However the monitor doesn't even work on the BIOS menues of that board. So the bad monitor hyphothesis is currently the most plausible.
Comment 18 Christian Berger 2009-09-27 01:39:26 UTC
I have just tried it out with an LCD television set and it worked nicely over the DVI output. So I guess we can blame it on the monitor and mark it as fixed.
Comment 19 Michael Fu 2009-09-27 02:24:17 UTC
mark as NOTOURBUG for correct tracking..
