[i945] on boot, TV output is enabled rather than VGA; breaks laptop/projector use case

Xorg log

The output monitor detection failed as it detects a TV monitor when no TV is plugged.
The VGA output modes are also incorrectly detected when a VGA monitor is plugged in.

As en attachement the Xorg.log and xrandr output when nothing is connected.

Thank you for taking this into consideration.

I also would like if someone can provide me some information (intel specifisations and a way to have more debug output from the intel driver) to resolve this bug myself if no one has time to look at it.

Bye

I just build the last revision from git (commit 3aa8591abfbe8db0f13912910c850fdd748808df )
and the detection of TV and VGA is working (although the tv disconnection looks like it's not detected, but that doesn't really matter).

When I try to activate the TV or VGA output, I got a blank tv or vga screen.

Here are some logs :

Let's forget the older version driver in the original report, and stick to the latest git code.
So the detection is correct, and the only problem is blank tv or vga screen. Let's focus on LVDS+VGA first.
Please attach the full log of that, with ModeDebug enabled, according to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html.

a single line of "underrun" normally doesn't hurt.

hi joss,

at first let me try to describe your action(if I was wrong, please correct me ): boot laptop without any extern displays, then start X and plug extern VGA, after running %xrandr --output VGA --auto, VGA get a blank screen, and LVDS works fine, right?

I read the log file, and find some wrong TV detectiong info is involved.
So in order not to be disturbed by it, could you append the following configuration into your xorg.conf, test again and upload the Xorg log file with Modedebug option?

Section "Device"
        Identifier "YOUR CARD"
        Option "monitor-TV" "TV"
        ...
EndSection
        ...
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "TV"
        Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection

Thanks
Ma Ling

Hi Ma (Am I right about your firstname ?),

You're right about the test case, I did rerun it with TV monitor disabled, I'm appending the complete Xorg.0.log of the test case and I'm also appending in a separate file the Xorg.0.log lines output when I'm activating VGA. Note that I called xrandr only once, and the log show several time the same VGA activation routine.

hi joss,
From log file, I can see VGA is set normally.
Please dump register by intel dump register tool after running "$xrandr --output VGA --auto" in comment #11 case and paste it.

Another question, could you find one approach which can make VGA and LVDS work fine together, i.e. 1) at first plug VGA, then start Xorg, 2) plug VGA before boot laptop, then start Xorg?

Thanks

Hi,
I ran xrandr on the same VGA screen with my desktop, and it looks like the modes are incorrectly detected with my laptop.
Here are the modes detected with the desktop (amd graphics) :

I tried gm965 with another screen, and the screen displays "mode not supported error".

Just to let you know, I managed to make it work few month ago when Ubuntu beta 8.10 came out (it wasn't easy as I had to plug, restart X and other stuff), but it broke out since. I didn't say it because I'm still trying to get a working version (I spent a lot of time trying to downgrade different package but still unsuccessfully).

intel reg dump according to test case as comment #11

I didn't find any way to make VGA work. On an old vga display screen, the error is Fh:___ Fv:851
I suppose it detects no Horizontal frequencies and a 851 vertical frequence.
I post it just in case it can help, but I have no clue yet of what is wrong.

please try the patch, thanks.

hi Joss,

from dump register I notice TV_CTL: 0x100000c0, which tell me TV is enable and using pipe A,so has confliction with VGA.
The patch belongs to debug patch, so please try it on laptop and use the same mode line which works fine on desktop.

Reg_dump with tv output disabled

Hi, I did apply the patch and still the same behaviour.
I tried with a videoprojecter.
xrandr says :

        h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1328 skew 0 clock 56.5KHz
        v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 70.1Hz

But the video projecter says :
mode not supported H: 91,36kHz V: 85,00Hz

Is my chipset bricked or what ?

I'll try to make it work with windows this week end.

Bye

what's your machine model anyway? do you have any option in BIOS setting about display?

Created an attachment (id=22886)
please try the patch on your machine, thanks.

hi Joss,

It is very strange, the dump register shows TV_CTL(0x100000c0) is still enable after using my last patch.

This patch will force disable TV output and return, please try it, and upload dump register again.

Thanks

reg_dump

Hi, My laptop is a Lenovo 3000N200.
I confirm that tv reg in reg_dump stays enabled as you noticed, even when I don't enable VGA. This new dump is made with a fresh newly started Xserver.

I checked that I have got the latest compiled version as I changed the ver number in configure.ac and the change appeared in my Xorg log file.

Ma Ling If you want to test more code, you can provide me with your own git repo adress and a branch name and I'll easily pull it.

I won't have time to test it with windows soon although I did said I would.

Bye.

let's forget the TV discussion part, 0x100000c0 bit 31 is 0, not 1. TV is disabled as expected.

Joss, please don't paste xorg log contents directly in a comment. it makes the bug way much too long...

Does

 Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "True"

make it work for you?

Add this to conf Device section. thanks.

scambled on which screen? LVDS or VGA? would you please reboot the system ( with VGA monitor connected all the time ) and then attach the whole xorg log instead of just the regdump? thanks.

if the latest code can detect your TV as disconnected, you don't need to apply the TV patch anymore... thanks.

Hi, I had a scrambled LVDS screen when no VGA was plugged in.

I did reboot with VGA plugged in, and no more scrambled LVDS but still blank VGA screen.

hi joss,

The log file says you plug VGA, then start X. However Michale's means(in commnet #26) is "would you please reboot the system (with VGA monitor connected all the time ) and then attach the whole xorg log"

Sorry please ignore comment #28.
I found VGA was set two times,
the first mode line is Modeline "1280x1024"x75.0 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (80.0 kHz)
the last mode line is Modeline "(null)"x0.0 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync (64.7 kHz)
Could you please try the below mode line for vga under evironment of comment #27.

1) $xrandr --newmode 1280x1024x75.0 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync
2)$xrandr --addmode VGA 1280x1024x75.0
3)$xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024x75.0

Thanks

Xorg log with Ma Ling PLL patch

Hi, I did git pull and applied the patch, tried to output with a lcd screen and a cathodic screen, still no result. Here's Xorg log and reg_dump.

I notice that when I log in from gdm, sometimes (one time in a hundred), I see a desktop picture on my lcd screen, but a quarter of vert lines are missing, and the picture on the lcd disappear after 2 secs.
Also, I noticed that with the recent driver, when I play video, the X server shut down. Probably has to do with libdrm version not synchronized with intel driver. Does it matter in our bug ?

Thanks for your time !

The two dump in comment# 34 is before and after the patch applied, right?

Are you having VGA monitor connected all the time during testing in comment# 33? If not, please do so.

pls remove your xorg.conf and use the default one, and attach your log. And when you attach the Xorg.log, pls make sure you turns on ModeDebug on.

a tip of how to get default conf and turns on Modebug in it:
-- xorg.conf (with option "ModeDebug" "yes" added in the Device section, to dump more register information into Xorg.0.log. If your distribution doesn't ship xorg.conf, you can use 'X --configure' to let X spit out the default configuration it uses and save it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.)

Hi Michael,
I tried to run x server with a bare xorg.conf, but the server crashes with a backtrace involving libdri.so and DRIGetSAREAPrivate() function.

Can you tel me what git repo should I use to get this library's latest version ?

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I did git pull and applied the patch, still same behaviour, here's xorg.log. I see that make install does generate multiple files, but I'm only copying intel_drv.so in my xorg driver directory. Is this ok ?

Thanks guys for trying to help me, I'really glad with intel's FOSS policy.

hi joss,
Could you please modify your xorg.conf to chose this mode line as VGA mode under comment #44 environment, then upload log file with debug option？

Thanks

I, I did git pull and applied your patch on top of the previous one (2008_965GM_colock.patch) so I've got both patch.

I did enlarge the virtual size of the screen because I tried with a large videoprojector.

Still not working, the vga screen is flickering every 2 second, and the screens says error mode not supported, with Vert : 60,20 Hz, and Hor is increasing in steps every 2 sec from 62 kHz to 560,59 kHz

the dotclock is 150Mhz for pipeA , but

DPLL_A_MD: 0x00000100

which doesn't seems right...

hi Joss

Could you please use the patch(2008_crt_debug_v2.patch) in comment #47, and this patch which is for GM965, and pushed in master tree after you downloaded our driver, then upload log file with modedebug option on?

Thanks

Hi,
I did applied the #47 patch onto an up to date git tree, and the behavior is slightly different :
- My crt screen does display a scrambled image in 1600x1024 but no image in 1280x960. You can find it on the logs with "Manufacturer: IVM"
- My vga lcd screen stays in standby mode and display no error, it looks like it doesn't detect input signal.

Here's full xorg log with lots of manipulation.
When I first started Xorg my vga lcd screen was plugged in.

Bye

hi joss,

Plase modify your xorg.conf like below

Section "Device"
        Identifier "YOUR CARD"
        Option "monitor-TV" "TV"
        ...
EndSection
        ...
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "TV"
        Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection

at the same time try the patchs in comment #47 together with comment #51,

Thanks

Hi,

I did add the disable tv config lines in my xorg.conf, and I did a git pull and git reset --hard, but I can't apply vgadisable.patch. It looks like it's already in the latest git history :
git apply vgadisable.patch
error: patch failed: src/i830_display.c:1113
error: src/i830_display.c: patch does not apply

I did applied the 2008_crt_debug_v2.patch without problems.

Still got the same problem, nothing on my vga lcd screen. I didn't test my vga crt screen.

hi joss,

please update our latest driver from master tree, then use this patch on your machine, and disable tv as below in xorg.conf.

Section "Device"
        Identifier "YOUR CARD"
        Option "monitor-TV" "TV"
        ...

(WW) intel(0): PIPEASTAT before: status: VSYNC_INT_STATUS SVBLANK_INT_STATUS VBLANK_INT_STATUS OREG_UPDATE_STATUS

OFIELD_INT_STATUS EFIELD_INT_STATUS are strange... I didn't see it in logs from other systems.

hi joss,

Could you please update our latest driver from master tree, then use the patch and modify xorg.conf in comments #55 ?

Hi, I did a git pull and apply the patch in comment #55, this time no picture on my lcd or crt screen. The crt screen shows that the card is trying some frequencies before the monitor goes in standby state.

I booted my laptop with lcd screen plugged in and then I tried my crt in the same session with various mode. Here's the full log.

You can find the lcd with "Monitor name: L226W" and the crt with "Monitor name: HM903DADTA"

Let's give it another spin...

I've seen the default preferred modeline been always invalidated as

(II) intel(0): Not using mode "1680x1050" (height too large for virtual size)
(II) intel(0): Not using mode "1680x1050" (height too large for virtual size)

but the user says he has been using a bare xorg.conf. where is the "virtual size" limit then?

Xorg conf file

Ubuntu automatically add a virtual size. Here's my xorg.conf file.
I'll try in few hours to test with latest git code.

Bye

just delete that xorg.conf, and run xrandr --auto instead after you enter X.

Try not to use the GUI tool to set display resolution for now.

I didn't find a description like "VGA alone works, with LVDS disabled". I'm removing the LVDS from the summary line.. thanks.

could you please help us to check other modes in xrandr list at the same time When you verify 1680x1050?

we bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 with intel 965GM chipset. Tested with Ubuntu 9.04 LiveUSB image. Things work fine - boot X up, then plug in a VGA monitor (Dell 19"), run 'xrandr --auto', both LVDS and VGA display have no problem.

I do notice that using the 'gnome-display-property' applet to adjust screen resolution doesn't work, but that's not our bug. Not sure if it's the situation you run into...
