: The other noticeable change is that i changed the default value of the xorg "Audio" option from false to true, but it's overrideable to disable audio support.
That's right, with current git I don't have to use Option Audio true anymore. However I still need to use Option "HDMI" "DVI-D 1" on my M82 with PANEL, VGA and HDMI outputs.
Is this possible to make audio working in future without this hack? I don't mean HDMI outputs only but also cards with DVI outputs that are able to transfer audio.
Rafael, this is not a hack. I doubt that we want to enable audio indiscriminately on all tmds based outputs, as even our dell monitor refuses to sync to its claimed preferred mode when there's audio on the same signal. When edid handling is extended, some things might start happening automatically, but even then you still should need to force audio on displays that do not advertise this. I realised something yesterday... Thanks to Christian, we are now the only driver that supports hdmi audio natively in free software. A world first! Intel doesn't have hdmi audio. NVidia has no real free driver and has no audio device integrated in the hw. ATIs fglrx is quite non-free :) We're the very first! Also, congrats Christian, you finally received the dubious honour of having direct write access to the git repo. Now where is the rest of the code ;p Luc Verhaegen. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
