Thanks to all who were involved here, and many thanks to Christian.
No-one so far has made such a big code contribution in a way that completely fits in with the radeonhd driver design/phylosophy. This really is amazing code and an amazing effort. Good to know that i could help out with this and it was really fun to do so :)
I can state that rv670 works, if you use TMDSA (and if you use a proper display, something for which the dell 3008wfp doesn't qualify in any way). I will continue to look into why it is not working with LVDS, but then the Sony TV is not showing any mode with LVDS atm. Cool, the fact that this wasn't tested on an rv670 before (AFAIK), but still works out of the box shows that the assumptions i made about the hardware are correct.
Is the LVDS problem HDMI related, or does it make problems on the Sony TV anyway?
About the options: three things there...
* we might want to get rid of the audio option altogether. The other option takes care of this already. And we might want to load the basic infrastructure anyway. These option wasn't used for so much anyway, i just wanted to have a global switch to turn everything off in case of a problem. I think we can remove this if there are no regressions related to this patch.
* we might want to match the connector names with the connector names (without analog/digital), as reported by xrandr. That was my intention anyway, but after the discussion about xrandr connector names started i didn't want do stick my nose into code properly changing in the near future.
* we might want to make audio on/off output specific attributes that can also be set/unset through xrandr. That's something i also had in mind, and there are other options in the HDMI info packets that are quite interesting, like colormetry (you can set the black/white reference value) or aspect ratio (some DLP Projectors can actually switch between 16:9,4:3 and 9:16,3:4 without loss of luminescence and my TV switches between 16:9 and 4:3 when i set this option by adding black borders).
I will keep working on this in the near future. And by the way is anybody else working on EEDID support? I know this really doesn't belong into radeonhd, but since x server 1.5.0 we have the raw EEDID data right in front of us, with no help from x to decode this. Bye, Christian. PS: Since my last convincement worked so good: Getting the 3D/xvideo support released would really make a difference between the radeonhd and radeon driver :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
