Description Tyson Whitehead 2010-11-02 13:52:51 UTC
I have a HP/Compaq 8501w with a "ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD2600
Series]" graphics card.  It has a HDMI port on the side of it which I use to plug in my DVI monitor via a HDMI to DVI cable.

With the closure of 18564 (thanks again very much for that), everything works great with a patched 2.6.36 kernel as long as I plug in the monitor before booting the machine and don't suspend.

If I plug it in and enable it after booting the machine or suspend and resume, then the output on the DVI display flickers between a very unstable image (snow with mixed up colors) and a black screen.

This is not a regression, this has always happened as far as I recall.  Before KMS, I was able to get things working again by switching to a console, doing "vbetool post" while the DVI display was plugged in, and then switching back again.  If I do this with KMS, things get very confused.

The problem sounds pretty much identical to 10418, except that it is not a Mac.

Thanks!  -Tyson

Diff of pre- and post-suspend constant registers

Result of diffing the output of

- booting up with DVI display attached (and working fine),
- doing 100 dumps of the registers between 0x6000-0x8000 after Xorg starts,
- filtering out any registers that do not remain constant

and

- suspending and resuming (display no longer working fine),
- doing 100 dumps of the registers between 0x6000-0x8000 after Xorg starts,
- filtering out any registers that do not remain constant

attached.

Nothing stands out to me here looking these up the RV630 register reference.  It pretty much just looks like some memory map addresses have changed and some of the I2C control register have been (mostly) just reset to defaults.

I would be happy to query the I2C buses as well if there are some instructions somewhere on how to do that.

Thanks!  -Tyson
Comment 8 Alex Deucher 2010-11-02 18:54:42 UTC
I see the problem.  Your laptop uses an i2c gpio mux that toggles one i2c line between the HDMI and DVI ports and also appears to use a mux to toggles the data/clock lines between the two ports.  I implemented support for the i2c mux in 2.6.36 (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=26b5bc986423cf3887e09188cb662ed651c5374d), but it appears your laptop uses the clock/data mux as well.  I'll try and whip up a patch soon.

Patch to correct (likely) typo in indexing in atom bios data walking code

Hi Alex,

I gave your patch a try.  It didn't work as it, but I'm pretty sure that is because of an index typo in the atom bios router object walking code.  I'm attaching a patch to fix this.

With this patch, and some additional dump code in the atom bios data walking code, I get the following in my dmesg log

and the display comes up properly on plugin after start and resume.  Without it the router object is ignored as it doesn't have the same index as the associated graph object, and the display does not come up properly on plugin after start or resume unless I manually write the i2c registers using i2cset.

Unfortunately, this patch also seems to result in detection confusion between the HDMI and DVI port.  The monitor is listed as being plugged into both ports again (as detailed in comment 21 and 22 of 18564), and the system defaults to trying to turn on the DVI one, which doesn't work.

I then have to manually turn off the DVI one with "xrandr --output DVI-0 --off" and on the HDMI on "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto" in order to get my display.  All in all, I'm pretty excited though.  This seems to be getting very close.

Cheers!  -Tyson

Dump of xrandr showing incorrect activation of DVI-0 after patches

The "xrandr --verbose" dump following booting up with the patched 2.6.36 kernel (both patches in this report and the last one in 18564) and the the DVI monitor plugged in via the HDMI port.

Nothing is plugged into the DVI port (I don't even have the docking bay that exposes it), but you can see how the system lists the monitor under both HDMI-0 and DVI-0 and has tried to activate it under DVI-0.

To properly activate it, I have to turn off DVI-0 and on HDMI-0 manually using xrandr (dump is called pre-switch because I haven't done this yet at this point).

                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think I see the problem.  The LVDS port is getting a router assigned to it when it doesn't have a router object in the object table.  Not quite sure how that's happening, but I suspect it's messing up the line toggling.  Unfortunately, I won't have access to my dev box until next week.

Patch to always reset validity entries in reused router structure instead of just for connectors with attached router objects

Hey Alex,

It didn't seem like it should be too hard to figure out where that router was being picked up for the LVDS port, so I had a look through the code and came up with the above patch.

With this patch, the connector information looks correct now

Unfortunately though, even with this patch, I'm still getting that weired cross over of the HDMI onto the DVI (that is, the monitor attached to the HDMI port is still listed under both HDMI-0 and DVI-0, and enabled by default on the DVI-0).

Patch to add (likely) missing complements in masking operations used to update DDC and clock/data mux

Hey Alex,

It seemed that this must be related to the DDC mux, so I had a quick look through the code I2C mux code.  The masking operations seemed suspect as they effectively did either

val &= 0x06  (ddc_mux_control_pin)
val |= 0x04  (ddc_mux_state)

or

val &= 0x06  (ddc_mux_control_pin)
val |= 0x02  (ddc_mux_state)

That really seemed like it should be

val &= 0xf9  (~ddc_mux_control_pin)
val |= 0x04  (ddc_mux_state)

or

val &= 0xf9  (~ddc_mux_control_pin)
val |= 0x02  (ddc_mux_state)

so I switched the masking to use the complements, and everything works now!

Thanks again for all your hard work on this.  It's great to finally have open source drivers for a state-of-the-art video card.

Cheers!  -Tyson
