Sandybridge-M 8086:0106 can't output to HDMI "invalid format" displayed on display Intel(R)Sandybridge Mobile PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS Build Number: 2111 ASID:2111.I13K53.011$ PC 14.34 02/23/2011 17:45:47 Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B940 @ 2.00GHz (II) intel(0): SNA compiled from 2.99.917-519-g8229390 (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Sandybridge (gen6, gt1) backend xorg-util-macros-1.19.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz xorg-xinit-1.3.4-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-xrdb-1.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-input-evdev-2.10.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+519+g8229390-0.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-mesa-11.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz mesa-11.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Tried all kinds of xrandr settings and have given up, well not completely given up because I am logging this bug, right? The display is fine and works via HDMI with a PS3 at 1080i, a DVD at 480 and another laptop with ivybridge.
Created attachment 121684 [details] intel_reg dump This is an intel_reg dump, it represents a dump of the registers on the intel.
Created attachment 121685 [details] xrandr --verbose This is the output from xrandr --verbose that was redirected to a text file and then attached here for, posterity at least, and as a useful bit of information, at best, to help resolve this utterly pernicious issue.
I have tried kernels 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5-rc3 in case you were wondering. I actually hope you weren't wondering and already have a hunch on what problem I am encountering. But perhaps I am getting my expectations high too soon.
Rough guess would be that this is an aviframe issue.
Where to look for "aviframe" code? Where would this kind of issue occur? Is there much chance that this will get fixed? I have searched for aviframe but come up pretty empty. I also gitcloned the driver and grep'd blindly. Still not much fruit. Thanks for any tips and/or guidance.
I tried this with newer software. Different kernel and stuff like that. You know those things you get when you install the new things that are released. Well I'm excited to report that the "invalid format" messages are no longer seen. But now nothing at all occurs. I am keeping my HDMI cable (and my VGA cable of course) because it's a nicely made cable. Who knows maybe one day when more new things are installed my HDMI cable can be put into action. I'll try to report back before the winter solstice.

Well, that makes this quite difficult. In general SNB and IVB are _very_ closely related in terms of display output hardware. Can you grab the dmesg, with drm.debug=0xe passed to the kernel command line, from _both_ machines after booting up with this display connected? Also reg dump from both machines would be good, when the display is connected and active. Also 'intel_reg read --count 10 0xE4F00' from both machines might be interesting, although I'm not actually sure these buffer translation values do anything in HDMI mode.
Hi Calico please provide information requested in pervious comment, and if the issue is not there anymore with latest kernel also please update, if no response is received in 30 days the bug will be closed since has been several months with no activity
based on the lack of activity and a response from the submitter to update results with latest configuration the bug will be closed
