Xorg.0.log

Hi,

I have the following (rather old) system:

Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with AMD/ATI RV515/M54 [Mobility Radeon X1400] graphics
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, linux-4.5.0, xorg-server.1.18.3


With xf86-video-ati-7.7.0, on boot into a graphical kde session, I'm getting display distortion on the tty1 console just as the display manager sddm begins to start X. It is quite fleeting so I don't have a screenshot but its as if successive scan lines start with a rapidly increasing offset from the left stretching text and images to illegibility. A moment later the sddm login screen displays and all is well, and the kde session appears to be unaffected. I've attached an Xorg.0.log as well.

The issue is not present in xf86-video-ati-7.6.1. Bisecting from 7.6.1 to 7.7.0, I've determined that the problem is caused by the commit

Update pixmap pitch in radeon_set_pixmap_bo
Stop second guessing it in drmmode_crtc_scanout_create.

Fixes display corruption in some cases with TearFree enabled.

and in particular, by the changes in src/drmmode_display.c on lines 97,112, and 401.

Adding some debug printout at line 401, immediately after the drmmode_create_bo_pixmap() call, I get

fbcon->width: 1680, fbcon->height: 1050 fbcon->depth: 24, fbcon->bpp: 32 fbcon->pitch: 6912
   pixmap->devKind: 6720 pixmap->drawable.bitsPerPixel: 32

So, it looks like xorg-server is computing pitch (pixmap->devKind) differently from how it was
computed for fbcon.

It would seem that this could be a problem in xorg-server rather than xf86-video-ati-7.7.0, but
I'm not sure.

The (possibly) relevant code path in from the *pScreen->ModifyPixmapHeader() call w/pitch=-1 in xorg-server is

xorg-server-1.18.3/fb/fb24_32.c

544         }
545     }

547                                 devKind, pPixData);
