This looks like TMDSA load detection not working. Luc, can you look into this when you find the time?
You will find that, when you run rhd_conntest, the monitor only at certain times puts loads on the digital lines. We have seen the same problem with some other monitors...
This is a Dell 24" - pretty common I'd say.
So it is a problem with not the TMDSA load detection, but with the monitor attached to it, and a suitable strategy still needs to be proposed here.
Pardon my ignorance but how does the radeon-driver handle this?
radeon uses ddc to detect the presence of a monitor, and then (for DACs at least) falls back to load detection if ddc fails.

No, this is not the explanation. The real explanation is that radeon doesn't even try to implement load detection for TMDSA, even though the r5xx/r6xx hardware supports it nicely. Luc Verhaegen.
