-----Original Message----- From: Rahman, Hasan Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 4:48 PM To: Marsan, Luugi Subject: Bug 299244 - Framebuffer looks broken when using ati fglrx driver

Hello,

I have attempted to reproduce this issue on my test system. Details of my system setup are:

Mainboad: RD580/SB600 ASIC: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (M54) Distro: OpenSuSE10.3 Driver: 8.443.1

Using VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k (vga=791) with the fglrx driver installed, the defect could not be reproduced thus far. I used the kernel option vga=791 in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to enable a graphic console.

After viewing the video of the defect, I was curious as to why there was flickering across the whole video. In other words, the space beside the screen (the background) was also flickering.

Also, I would like to know exact kernel options being used by the bug-logger. That is, what configurations does he have on his system? I would suggest him to set vga=normal in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and check whether the problem still exists. If not, then we can would be closer to assuming that it is specific to framebuffer consoles. If possible, trying the latest catalyst release of the fglrx driver is also recommended.

Regards, Hasan

I tried the newest fglrx driver (ati-fglrxG01 8.47.3_2.6.22.17_0.1) and can still reproduce the defect. I forgot to mention that you cannot reproduce it with a 1024x768 resolution. It seems that only the native 1400x1050 resolution of my notebook is broken (with kernel option vga=0x345). All resolutions lower than 1400x1050 seem to work fine (including vga=normal). The video was recorded with a bad mobile cellphone camera. Nevertheless everything you can see on the display is correct (just look at the green "done" messages). BTW: This bug seems to be the same one as #235341 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Created an attachment (id=156796) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=156796) [details] Video which shows the broken framebuffer Unfortunately the video is not really helpful, since the whole video is flickering. :-)

ATI could not reproduce the issue on their M56 laptop with 1400x1050 native resolution. The engineer told us that the vga mode for the kernel framebuffer was invalid on his machine. The mode number for 1400x1050@16bpp depends on the BIOS, it could be figured out e.g. with hwinfo --framebuffer -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
