Good morning radeonhd mailinglist,

bridgman from the phoronix.com forum suggest that I present my interesting
new bug here to the mailinglist.

I am on a Toshiba Satellite A350-12D/ Kubuntu 9.04 machine with a VGA
compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

When I use the latest fglrx or Catalyst driver (9.4), X starts, but I get a
blank screen. Xorg.0.log gives me messages like:

 (EE) fglrx(0): Unknown EDID version 0
 (II) fglrx(0):  Display1: Failed to get EDID information.
 (II) fglrx(0): Connected Display2: TV on TVDAC [tv]
 (II) fglrx(0):  Display2: No EDID information from DDC.
 (EE) fglrx(0): Unknown EDID version 0

 (EE) fglrx(0): [pcie] Failed to gather memory of size 0Kb for PCIe. Error
(-1)

 (--) fglrx(0): Video RAM: 4194303 kByte, Type: DDR2
 (II) fglrx(0): [FB] MC range(MCFBBase = 0x0, MCFBSize = 0x100000000)
 (II) fglrx(0): PCIE card detected
 (--) fglrx(0): Using per-process page tables (PPPT) as GART.
 (WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported

or

 (II) RADEON(0): Detected total video RAM=4194303K, accessible=524288K (PCI
BAR=524288K)

The entire thread can be found here,
http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16691, including the
Xorg.0.log-files and some
speculations about RAM missmanagement.

Since I am using "vesa"-mode with a terribly wrong resolution on my screen, I
gave version 1.2.5 of the radeonhd driver via git a chance.
That gave very interesting results:

 (EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomLvdsDDC: unknown record type: b8
 (EE) RADEONHD(0): D1CRTCDisable: Failed to Unsync CRTC 1
 (EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAllIdle: unable to stop CRTC: cannot idle MC

 Fatal server error:
 AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0


 Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
        at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.
 Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional
information.

Does removing one of the ram chips in your system help?
