The connectors on the systen are 1 DVI and 1 S-Video

I am running Gentoo, but I can reproduce this just by booting a Fedora13-beta liveusb or a Ubuntu 10.04 liveusb and watch the corruption on the TV as the system boots. 

I have a computer which I only use to provide contents to a TV. It is only connected to that old TV trough S-Video. The IGP is a 945GM.
It currently runs kernel 2.6.32.2 and xf86-video-intel-2.9.1 and xorg-server-1.7.6
I have tried with kernels from linus git tree (up to at least 2.6.34-rc6), with and without drm-intel-next merged on top, and with newer xf86-video-intel (both 2.10 and 2.11).


When I start my computer using KMS, both before and when X has started I see the picture on my TV "jumping" horizontally. I can only reproduce it with KMS and it seems dependent on the workload of the computer, as preventing X from start when I boot (leaving you with an almost stable console), ssh into the box and start for example compiling a kernel you will notice the console jumping faster and faster as the computer starts to work harder, and almost stops again when the compilation ends.

However  if I created a new mode with a much higher Mhz, say instead of:
  640x480 (0x44)   11.3MHz +preferred
        h: width   640 start  641 end  704 total  736 skew    0 clock   15.4KHz
        v: height  480 start  481 end  512 total  513           clock   30.0Hz

I use:
  mine (0x106)   25.0MHz *current
        h: width   640 start  641 end  704 total  736 skew    0 clock   34.0KHz
        v: height  480 start  481 end  512 total  513           clock   66.2Hz

The picture becomes stable.

As I do not know how and why this hits me I turn to you for help on how to debug this further and maybe fix it.

Comment 3 Peter Hjalmarsson 2010-06-20 11:20:02 UTC
This day I tried out TV-out on an Acer TravelMate 5310, smolt-profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_3e4e08ab-39e6-44c3-8771-1aa97500b7b7 and this did not work on that machine either.

How to reproduce:
1. Install a clean Fedora13 on you machine or run a Fedora13 LiveCD/LiveUSB
2. connect a TV to an S-video out on you computer
3. run xrandr --output TV1 --auto
4. do anything (opening and closing a gnome-menu, run glxgears, as long as the picture out is a static picture the corruption is minimal)
5. watch the TV and watch the corruption

Changing clocks fixed the problems, however as I do not know what values the clock is supposed to have I am afraid to fry something, so I do not even consider that as a workaround until someone tells me otherwise.
Comment 4 Chris Wilson 2010-07-21 08:53:14 UTC
The registers look consistent with the modelines, so I am guessing it's a case of garbage-in, garbage-out.

Peter, do you still have 2.9.1+ums paths available to compare and contrast, in particular the xrandr verbose output and intel_reg_dumper?

xrandr-verbose-kms

All following are from the same system, a Gentoo machine running xorg-server-1.7.7, xf86-video-intel-2.9.1 and a 2.6.34-kernel:

on the kernelcmd: i915.modeset=0 vga=0x314 video=640x480

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"TV"
	Option		"PreferredMode"	"640x480"
	Option		"TV_Connector"	"S-video"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"GFX"
	Driver		"intel"
	Option		"monitor-TV1"	"TV"
EndSection

Only differences between runs where if I had modeset=1 or modeset=0 on the kernelcmd

This is a diff between intel_reg_dumper for kms vs. ums, the files themselves where to big to attach. If you want me to attach them zipped just tell me.

Looks more like a intel_gpu_dump output, can you double check.

From the xrandr output it appears that the modelines are the same so we have not regressed in parsing the EDID. So presumably we are programming the output differently and now incompatibly with your display.

intel_reg_dumper-diff

I was certain I used intel_reg_dumper, but seems I was wrong for some reason... Here is the correct diff, if you want the full files I ca attach them too.
Comment 10 Chris Wilson 2010-07-21 10:39:43 UTC
Just to check, you used two different modes right? 800x600 in the first dump and 640x480 in the second? And the dual output was disabled in the second run.

The only other thing of real significance is that FrameBuffer Compression is only enabled in the second pass, that is for ums and not for kms. Weird.

Peter, can you confirm the sequence of ums vs kms and check that you are capturing the registers for the troublesome modes? Thanks.

xrandr-verbose-kms

My brain apparently does not work well when I am too warm, here I had attached the wrong file, but the diff in my comment above still stands.

In both tests I dumped while running X in 640x480 (as far as I know, and xrandr confirms it, defined in kernelcmd and xorg.conf as stated above).

In a clean X glxgears rolls clearly during kms but not during ums with this resolution.

The test system itself does only have one output currently, one S-Video cable. Nothing connected to the DVI port and no other connector/screen.
No dual output at all, and according to xrandr everything but TV is disconnected in both cases.

fbcompression may come from vesafb being used with ums, but not with kms?
Comment 12 Peter Hjalmarsson 2010-07-21 11:23:11 UTC
Ok, read you comment again, realized some stuff and took some other tests:

(In reply to comment #10)
> Just to check, you used two different modes right? 800x600 in the first dump
> and 640x480 in the second? And the dual output was disabled in the second run.
> 

Both are running X in 640x480.
The 800x600 seems to come from vga=0x314. If I change that to 0x311 that part of the output from intel_reg_dumper for kms changes too 640x480 too.
No dual displays any of the runs, only a S-video TV connected to the computer.

> Peter, can you confirm the sequence of ums vs kms and check that you are
> capturing the registers for the troublesome modes? Thanks.

It is the right sequence, the one I named kms seems to show kms, and the one named ums seems to show ums (ran intel_reg_dumper again and confirmed the output).
Comment 13 Chris Wilson 2010-07-21 11:25:25 UTC
Ah, the TV out swapped pipes between kms and ums, that was confusing me.

So the PLL timings for kms are:
  FPA0: 0x00020e08 (n = 2, m1 = 14, m2 = 8)
and for ums:
  FPA1: 0x00031108 (n = 3, m1 = 17, m2 = 8)

which says that we were allocating more lanes and more bandwidth to drive the TV under ums than now under kms. That correlates well with the observation that increasing the pixel clock improves the output.

As a test do you mind grabbing an intel_reg_dumper with the forced mode? If I am  on the right track, we should see a similar change in FPA0.
Comment 14 Peter Hjalmarsson 2010-07-21 12:55:25 UTC
Actually no.

I had to change machine and distribution because for some reason xrandr --addmode did not add the mode on the Gentoo machine.

This time around it is a laptop running Fedora 13.
Same chipset, same problem.
I did four testes with LVDS1 turned off on that machine so only TV1 was active.

I did about four test and evey time the output from intel_reg_dumper between "640x480" and "mine" (as I named my displaymode) did differ but newer ever on the same location.
I also really confirmed that with "640x480" the screen rolled and with "mine" it became stable.
Comment 15 Peter Hjalmarsson 2010-07-22 04:35:26 UTC
Got xrandr --newmode to work on the Gentoo machine.
Same result there. Every time I change the clock the picture goes stable, but the differences in the output from intel_reg_dumper is random.
Comment 16 Peter Hjalmarsson 2010-07-22 07:00:20 UTC
Looked at the Gentoo dumps ad they where less random then the Fedora13 ones.
These are not clean X sessions (having only xbmc running), if you want dumps with clean X I can create those later today.
In between the dumps where done, nothing was changed except shifting between 640x480 and "mine" (which I called my mode with the doubled Mhz).
the one with 640 in the name is the original mode, these with "mine" in the name is the working ones.

See also bug 23899.
Comment 18 Daniel Vetter 2012-02-24 07:44:22 UTC
Please retest with at least v3.3-rc4 kernel (or newer). That one contains fixes for the TV-out timings and clocks.
Comment 19 Daniel Vetter 2012-03-31 08:14:52 UTC
Reporter seems to have disappeared and the bug is presumably fixed by the TV clock fixes in 3.3. Closing, please reopen if this is not the case.

Yeah, sorry about that. RL got me again.
I had to repurpose that machine, since it became too much work getting things working. So I currently have no easy access to a machine with which I can test this. If I get the chance to test this I will report back then.
