xrandr with both monitors

i am having problems with dual dvi monitors, no matter which one is connected to first port stays blank
it seems xrandr is working, i can expand display to blanked monitor, i can open windows on it, but it won't come out of standby

here is a snippet from Xorg.0.log
(II) RADEON(0): Port0:
  XRANDR name: DVI-1
  Connector: DVI-I
  CRT1: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC1
  DFP1: INTERNAL_UNIPHY
  DDC reg: 0x7e40
(II) RADEON(0): Port1:
  XRANDR name: DVI-0
  Connector: DVI-I
  CRT2: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC2
  DFP2: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_LVTMA
  DDC reg: 0x7e50


Port0 is always blank, Port1 works fine

i use driver 6.12.4. xorg-server 1.6.3, kernel 2.6.32.7, no KMS
my card is
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3470
01:00.0 0300: 1002:95c0

Comment 7 pha 2010-02-14 06:29:07 UTC
i've tried both monitors with intel driver and both work fine
amd binary driver also works, but for some reason it thinks i have 6400x1200 virtual desktop instead of 3200x1200
is there something i could add ?
Comment 8 Tim 2010-02-19 06:32:19 UTC
i have the same issue on debian/lenny. i have a radeon hd4350 with two dvi ports. the fglrx driver works well. 

i attached my lcpci, xrandr and Xorg.0.log

Does this work any better with git master or the latest bits from the 6.12-branch?
Comment 13 Loïc Lefort 2010-02-19 11:02:55 UTC
I have the same card, and I'm experiencing a similar problem using 2 dvi monitors: the monitor connected to DVI-1 always stays black.
I just tried both git master and 6.12 branch, neither works.

I follow these steps: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo but *without* remove the latest code changes. And every thing works fine!

(II) Loading /opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
(II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.7.4, module version = 6.12.99
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0

what are you removing or not removing?  If you are removing the driver before you've tested it, you won't be using it :)

Can you try again with git master?  You might also try reverting 0c3468d812e3790ce03d9e76779ae81e7b7b82d5
Comment 22 Loïc Lefort 2010-02-23 10:24:48 UTC
Still nothing on the second head with current master, and reverting 0c3468d812e3790ce03d9e76779ae81e7b7b82d5 doesn't help.
Is there any other information that I can provide to help debug this problem ?

Can you boot up with only the problematic monitor attached and then dump the registers using the vesa driver (assuming the head lights up ok), and then using the radeon driver.  use avivotool:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool
(as root):
./avivotool regs all > vesa.regs
./avivotool regs all > radeon.regs

It's not a problematic monitor, both monitors work fine when plugged on dvi-0 and in dualhead on a x1650. It's always the monitor plugged on dvi-1 that stays blank, even if I swap them.
Anyway, I did some register dumps :
- using vesa then radeon with both monitors plugged
- using vesa then radeon with the monitor on dvi-0 unplugged.
I did reboot between both tests, but not between the vesa/radeon driver switch. Using vesa, both heads display something, but it's all mangled. Using radeon, dvi-0 is fine, and dvi-1 stays blank.

i've just tested  xf86-video-ati-6.12.192, monitor is still off
Comment 27 Alex Deucher 2010-10-19 19:12:41 UTC
Is this still an issue with kms or a newer version of the driver?
Comment 28 pha 2010-11-22 11:15:19 UTC
