[Bug 370656] New: Only clone mode available when using 2x DVI-D (radeonhd)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=370656 Summary: Only clone mode available when using 2x DVI-D (radeonhd) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 2plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: mhopf@novell.com ReportedBy: sndirsch@novell.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:55:44 +0100 From: Matthias Hopf <mhopf@suse.de> To: xorg@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: RandR: multi-referenced monitor sections & problems with them I just stumbled over some strange behavior, and it definitely changed past Xserver 1.4.0 (don't know the exact version yet, bisecting this would be probably worth it). A snippet of the config I'm testing is Section "Monitor" Identifier "M1" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "M2" Option "Right-Of" "M1" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "D" Driver "radeonhd" Option "monitor-DVI-I_1/digital" "M1" Option "monitor-DVI-I_2/digital" "M2" EndSection Section "Screen" [...] Identifier "S" Device "D" Monitor "M1" EndSection [...] So basically a static multi-monitor setup for RandR 1.2, with one of the monitors additionally referenced in the Screen section. This monitor reference shouldn't be used at all, because the driver sets use_screen_monitor to FALSE for all outputs. This used to work - however, beginning with 1.4.90 the multi-monitor setup fails if and only if I use the two digital DVI outputs on this card, with DVI and VGA it works fine, with DVI/d and DVI/a it also works fine. If I remove the reference to the M1 monitor in the Screen section it works fine. If I add another monitor and reference it in the Screen section instead it works fine. It's probably difficult to reproduce this with another driver, but this shouldn't be a driver issue. Does anybody have a clue WTF is going on here, is this considered standard behavior or rather a bug? If it's standard, why is its behavior depending on the outputs (and not on the monitors)?

As long as Monitor "M1" in Section Screen is not removed/commented out, the monitors cannot be positioned side by side with the error message similar to this: (EE) Monitor(1) cannot be positioned right of Monitor[0] without a mode specified. Specifying modes explicitetly for both monitor doesn't help at all. Only the workaround mentioned above does. Maybe this Monitor entry in Screen section should simply ignored if there is any monitor-<whatever> entry in Device section ?!? -- 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.

At least the radeonhd driver tells the RandR subsystem to *exactly* do so. Somehow, this doesn't work as intended any more. (In reply to comment #5 from Stefan Dirsch)

Note the Modeline (apparently 1680x1050 is still not standard), and not the Modes "1680x1050". "PreferredMode" would probably work as well. Apparently radeonhd isn't able to get DDC info from the monitors - needs to be debugged. But the main issue of this bug is that multi-monitor configuration isn't used correctly if the 'Monitor "M1"' line is still included.

In this case this happened to be TV_7PIN_DIN. So adding Option "monitor-TV_7PIN_DIN" "M1" instead had the same effect. Fixing the initial issue is easy. Fixing the base issue probably not. Monitors are not to be used by multiple instances, because the mode pool between then would be shared. I.e. if one is disconnected, the other one won't see any modes, which is the base issue of this bug. -- 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.
