Current Radeon KMS does not support Eyefinity 5 ? I tested Eyefinity 5 with 4 monitors, 3 of these monitors outputs are fine, but last monitor (4th monitor)'s output is very ugly. Hardware setup: Graphic Card: - PowerColor Eyefinity 5 HD5770 1GB GDDR5 - http://www.powercolor.com/Global/products_features.asp?id=240 - This Graphic card has 5 mini DisplayPorts Monitors: 2 x HYUNDAI W240D - Resolution: 1920x1200 - connected to the card with mini-DP to Dual Link DVI passive convertor (this cable included the graphic card package) 2 x BenQ G2400DW - Resolution: 1920x1200 - connected to the card with mini-DP to DP cable (included the package) and DP to DVI active convertor (This one http://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/20100529/ni_cawesome.html this is a Japanese page. Sorry, I can not find English informations) Software setup: Linux kernel version 2.6.36-rc3 (from linus git tree, commit 2bfc96a127bc1cc94d26bfaa40159966064f9c8c) * Output images are attached. Picture 1 is monitor connected mini-DP port 1. It is a normal output of 'ps aux on linux console'. Monitors connected on port 2 and port 3 are some as this one. Picture 2 is monitor conncted port 4 on the same time. I saw some kind of timing problem with noises. * On xf86-driver-ati (evergreen git branch) with individual output on all monitors xrandr setup, monitor 1,2,3's output are correct. But Monitor 4's output is same as Monitor 3 with some kind of timeing problem (timing problem and noises looks same as KMS console display). So, I think monitor 4 output on KMS is same as monitor 3 with some timing glitch. * A monitor connected largest number of port is ugly when 4 monitors are connected. When connected with only 3 monitors, these are fine. Ugly output is not depend on a kind of links and port. For example: (DP means connected with active convertor on this setting) Port 1 -> DVI1 Port 2 -> DVI2 Port 3 -> DP1 Port 4 -> DP2 Port 5 -> none Problem on DP2 monitor only Port 1 -> DVI1 Port 2 -> DVI2 Port 3 -> DP1 Port 4 -> none Port 5 -> DP2 Problem on DP2 monitor only Port 1 -> DP1 Port 2 -> DP2 Port 3 -> DVI1 Port 4 -> DVI2 Port 5 -> none Problem on DVI2 monitor only Port 1 -> DP1 Port 2 -> DVI1 Port 3 -> DP2 Port 4 -> DVI2 Port 5 -> none Problem on DVI2 monitor only Port 1 -> DP1 Port 2 -> DVI1 Port 3 -> DVI2 Port 4 -> none Port 5 -> DP2 Problem on DP2 monitor only Port 1 -> DP1 Port 2 -> DVI1 Port 3 -> DP2 Port 4 -> DVI2 Port 5 -> none Problem on DVI2 monitor only Port 1 -> DVI1 Port 2 -> DVI2 Port 3 -> DP1 Port 4 -> none Port 5 -> none All 3 monitors are fine. Port 1 -> DVI1 Port 2 -> DVI2 Port 3 -> none Port 4 -> DP1 Port 5 -> none All 3 monitors are fine. Port 1 -> DVI1 Port 2 -> none Port 3 -> none Port 4 -> DVI2 Port 5 -> DP1 All 3 monitors are fine. * I know the Eyefinity restriction(related clock source). 2 of 4 monitor are linked with DisplayPort (with Active DVI convertor), other 2 are linked with DVI. These link settings are OK for Eyefinity 5. I checked this link config does works on Windows 7 (Individual Items are displyed on each monitor). * I think it is not a hardware problem. Monitors and link cables, active convetor exchange each other is not effect on the problems. And all hardwares works fine on other Graphic cards or Other OSs (e.g Windows).
Humm, pictures are larger than accept on this system. Picture1 and 2 are put on the URL bellow: Picture1: http://hanzubon.jp/tmp/radeon-kms/monitor1.jpg Picture2: http://hanzubon.jp/tmp/radeon-kms/monitor4.jpg

I tested All 4 monitors connected with DP -> DVI acctive convertor. It is same result (monitor connected on lates port show garbage).
Does this set of kernel patches help (against 2.6.36)? http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/pll_fixes/
No. Same result with and without these patches (4th monitor display only show garbage) Base kernel: linus git tree 32163f4b2cef28a5aab8b226ffecfc6379a53786
These pictures become any hint to solve the problem? Picture1: http://hanzubon.jp/tmp/radeon-kms/monitor3_20100926.jpg Picture2: http://hanzubon.jp/tmp/radeon-kms/monitor4_20100926.jpg They are monitor3 and monitor4 pictures with X. * monitor3 looks fine. * monitor4 is NOT mirror mode (individual mode. rightof monitor3 on EXA setting in xorg.conf), but it displays same items as monitor3 with vertical/horizontal offset. * (Perhaps can not identify with these picture, but) monitor4's rightside/topside areas are drown with vertical line noise. * These offset and noises are same on the console without X.
I tested this problem on linux kernel 2.6.37-rc1 (from tar ball) again. This problem is gone on the kernel. My 4th monitor looks fine. (But I can not find which changeset(s) solve this problem from ChangeLog...)
