made a photo of the monitor when it is messed up

When booting the distribution through normal BIOS (Asus P8Z68-V LX and Sapphire Radeon 6870) my screen is just fine, if i boot through UEFI 2/5th of the right hand side of the screen continue from the left side of the monitor. The plymouth login is messed up the same way.
Comment 1 Piotr J 2011-11-08 12:16:32 UTC
I have alos uploaded dmesg from normal boot as in through BIOS:

and the messed up one:

Please attach your dmesg outputs as they may become unavailable on fpaste eventually.

Please advise me on how to debug this issue, i am available from 5 to 11 PM London Time. I have also reported this bug to fedora with a "shortcut" to this report.
Comment 6 Jerome Glisse 2011-11-14 08:47:54 UTC
You need to build 
git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool

and use avivotools reg crtc1 and attach output in both efi and bios mode

Comment 10 Jerome Glisse 2011-11-15 07:13:09 UTC
Been unlucky need avivotool regs crtc2

Just use the same connector in both uefi & bios mode to avoid any difference on that front.
Comment 11 Alex Deucher 2011-11-15 07:44:10 UTC
avivotool doesn't support dumping crtc registers on newer asics, it also doesn't properly support different sized mmio apertures.  Try:
radeonreg regs dce5

All this happening on Fedora 16, not tested on other distros
