Description BRULE Herman 2012-01-28 05:28:42 UTC
Hello, I have tested some livecd, and my OS.

On the config:
A6-3650 -> then gpu SUMO
1 screen on HDMI
1 screen on DVI
F1A75-I DELUXE

Manual say that's work, the efi boot screen is show on both screen.
But under linux I have just the HDMI connected screen that's work. The other is just disconnected (no signal it say, then same when is not connected or in sleep).

Software tested: Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Gentoo. I have try the git ati drivers (git kernel crash here). At the mode settings the second screen is close too.
It's 2h to assemble this computer (missing hdd, power supply, then I need use of my main computer), then if you can group your query.

I have noted the dmesg, lspci, ... nothing execpt:
[drm:atom_op_jump] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 5secs aborting
[drm:atom_execute_table_locked] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing E262 (len 2585, WS 4, PS 4) @ 0xE94C
drm: registered panic notifier
I have try both under KDE, it crash.

The both screen is detected.

I can confirm this on a Dell vostro 3555 Notebook with A8-3500M 
VGA-0 will be detected if plugged in by kde control center, but no output signal goes out.

Comment 9 Shin.Ice 2012-03-19 02:02:04 UTC
Hi,

i have the same problem.

- Debian Sid 64bit
- Kernel 3.3.0-rc6-amd64 (Debian Experimental)
- Radeon Driver 1:6.14.3-2

Grub and kernol space boot are displayed on both displays (DVI-0 & VGA-0).
After the radeon driver is loaded VGA-0 shuts down and will not start again.
xrandr shows me both screens but only DVI-0 works.

I attach:
- dmesg
- Xorg.0.log
- xrandr output
- lspci -vv

I have just tested with daily buld of ubuntu and kernel 3.4.

Exactly the same in my case. No vga in my case.

Have you tried the patch or a 3.5 kernel?
Comment 19 BRULE Herman 2012-06-08 06:27:00 UTC
Yes, the patch solve nothing because I don't use the VGA (HDMI + DVI, see the firt comment).

The kernel 3.5 some nothing...

Solve nothing
Comment 21 Alex Deucher 2012-06-08 06:30:48 UTC
Can you post your dmesg and xrandr output from the 3.5 kernel?
Comment 22 BRULE Herman 2012-06-08 06:55:42 UTC
I can before this night, because I use my computer/screen as work.

Please, I don't wish test each month on each new kernel, without any change, and at each re-ask listen: "test on the new kernel, send my the new ...".
If new patch can change my situation, please tell it, else I will provide all the test/info to solve this problem.

I wait more serious about the support. Mainly because this bug is open since 6 months, I not see any progress, and I totally blocked into my work.

There are a lot of changes and fixes for each new kernel.  It's not always easy to say which one(s) may help.

It's hard to say what your bug is.  In many cases a new kernel may help.  Dual digital connectors work fine on the sumo systems I have access to.  Also, to clarify, the DVI monitor is digital correct?  DVI-VGA adapters won't work because the DVI ports on these systems do not support analog.
Comment 24 BRULE Herman 2012-06-08 07:11:35 UTC
Ok, to be clear:
All the display data is transmitted as numeric (no analog used). It's DVI-D + HDMI.
I connect my sumo GPU EXACTLY like I connect on my Radeon HD 5450 used actually in my computer (work with this card).
Comment 25 Alex Deucher 2012-06-08 07:34:37 UTC
Also does manually turning the DVI-D display off/on with xrandr help?  Or boot with one display attached and plug in the second one later?  Does it work in that case?  Also what modes are you trying to use each monitor?  The xorg log you attached doesn't have much content.  If you are trying to use a high res monitor that requires duallink DVI, you will need to enable duallink support in your bios setup.  As it requires two links, enabling duallink dvi the bios also disables the secondary display on the motherboard since both are then used for DVI.
Comment 26 Alex Deucher 2012-06-08 07:37:43 UTC
Also, are there any cases where the DVI port works?  Is it only when you try and enable both monitors that things break or does DVI not work at all under any circumstances?
Comment 27 BRULE Herman 2012-06-08 07:50:43 UTC
I have try all of that's. In all case, I'm not able to start the second screen.
I have the same resolution with my hd 5450 or with my sumo gpu: Full HD (1920x1080).

In single screen DVI and HDMI work. Under the bios (EFI) + grub, the both screen is on.

The problem is when the both screen is connect, under linux all show the DVI screen as on, but in reality is off.

I have try lot of combinaison to start up the screen (DVI first alone, both after -> HDMI is start-up, the DVI is shutdown)

The kernel config:
CONFIG_STANDALONE=y
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/CEDAR_me.bin radeon/CEDAR_pfp.bin radeon/CEDAR_rlc.bin radeon/REDWOOD_me.bin radeon/REDWOOD_pfp.bin radeon/REDWOOD_rlc.bin radeon/SUMO_me.bin radeon/SUMO_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin radeon/SUMO2_me.bin radeon/SUMO2_pfp.bin radeon/REDWOOD_me.bin radeon/REDWOOD_pfp.bin radeon/REDWOOD_rlc.bin"

Any idea?

It's very very hard in my case to test. Have you all to try resolv this?
Comment 33 BRULE Herman 2012-06-22 05:01:34 UTC
@Alex Deucher: Do you work with exactly the same hardware?
CPU + GPU: A6-3650
Mother board: F1A75-I DELUXE
???

The mother board have EFI, I have no see anything into the config witch can block the graphic card.

I don't have that exact board.

Does the bios provide an option to boot via legacy bios rather than EFI?
Comment 35 BRULE Herman 2012-06-27 10:15:38 UTC
No, but I suspect I'm in bios mode, because I use the grub2 into dos mode, and no trace of EFI in the dmesg...
Comment 36 BRULE Herman 2012-06-29 04:50:26 UTC
I can do few donation (<20$) to help to buy the hardware to try to resolv it.
I don't know what I can do more.

Comment 40 BRULE Herman 2012-07-02 14:53:25 UTC
The graphic card have firmware? I can update it? How?
Comment 41 Alex Deucher 2012-07-02 17:36:12 UTC
(In reply to comment #40)
> The graphic card have firmware? I can update it? How?

It's loaded by the driver.  It's used for acceleration and interrupts.  It does not affect the display hw.
Comment 42 BRULE Herman 2012-10-13 11:59:14 UTC
Same with the kernel 3.6.2, I will donate my hardware, and change for more modern. Then I don't will test more, sorry but the problem is since lot of time (2 years?).

dmesg with new kernel 3.11, continues with bug...
Comment 44 Alex Deucher 2013-10-31 20:36:54 UTC
Does selecting a different mode or refresh rate for the problematic monitor fix it?  Select something so that the displays are using different clocks.

possible fix

Does this patch fix the issue?
Comment 46 BRULE Herman 2013-11-01 14:11:35 UTC
No, don't fix it. I can't test the patch because my try of kernel compilation have failed (Bios ROM not found). Then if you have compiled kernel to test... (without initrd, and drivers in =Y)
Comment 47 BRULE Herman 2013-11-28 20:10:38 UTC
Or if you can provide me a live cd with this kernel patch to test.
