[Bug 620439] New: externel monitor does not work with kernel modesetting
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620439 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620439#c0 Summary: externel monitor does not work with kernel modesetting Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; de; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 I have to boot with nomodeset in order to make my external monitor display anything. Otherwise it simply stays dark. Curiously the external monitor is recognized correctly even with kernel modesetting - and it can be configured comfortably under KDE. However it simply stays dark no matter what you do. This is not only to be observed with Xorg but also the same for the text consoles vt01-vt05 (ext. monitor also dark here). However as soon as you boot with nomodeset, the text consoles use both monitors in clone mode and there is no problem with Xorg. (During kernel initialization there are always both monitors up no matter whether you use nomodeset). Tested with both kernels(2.6.34-12.1 & -9.3) of RC1 and RC2. For both it is utterly the same play (tested extensively).

Somehow really annoying since the nomodeset option is causing many other problems like hangs on switching the video mode or xrandr configuration blackouts. I have tested it with different games and manually: without the nomodeset kernel options radeon has no problems in setting the video mode whereas with I do always get a really annoying hang. -- 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.

Now external monitors are kept in function until runlevel 3 but Xorg still fails to initialize my ext. mon. garbling my integrated monitor with pixel soup so that X11 still can not be used with modesetting (and only very infringed without - think of the crashes on switching video mode as indulged by almost all games.) -- 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.
