plea for testing kernel modesetting with RC2 / radeon
If you write me a reply on your test results for KMS on RC2 (whether it works or not) please include the following information (KMS: whether Xorg initializes graphics mode correctly): * your graphics card model including output of "hwinfo --gfxcard" * kernel (uname -r) * tested monitors + connectors/ports (HDMI, DVI, VGA, integrated) (if a problem exists also look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log whether there is a message like wrong EDID checksum (extended display identification record)) * actual result: (1) garbeled screen (pixelry/vertical colorful lines) - (2) black screen - (3) Xorg returns after unsuccessful attempts to set a graphics mode (more than one attempt may be useful) - (4) others usage hints: * boot into runlevel 3/5: kernel parameter "3" ("5" start Xorg/graphics surface is standard) as entered in Grub, or a manual "init 5", "init 3" from a text console * use "xinit" instead of "init 5" - just starting an Xorg with xterm is much faster than booting into KDE/gnome - and the test results tend to be cleaner (leave xterm by 'exit') - use 'twm &' or 'kwin &' to enable moving or resizing your xterm * view the log: 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log' - use "/EDID" + [n]/[N] to search for EDID related messages * if Xorg is started you can of course switch back to text console by [Alt][Ctrl]-[F1]/[F2]/.. - [F7]/[F8] is Xorg (see also: fgconsole, chvt, xinit xterm -- vt08) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org

usage hints: * boot into runlevel 3/5: kernel parameter "3" ("5" start Xorg/graphics surface is standard) as entered in Grub, or a manual "init 5", "init 3" from a text console * use "xinit" instead of "init 5" - just starting an Xorg with xterm is much faster than booting into KDE/gnome - and the test results tend to be cleaner (leave xterm by 'exit') - use 'twm &' or 'kwin &' to enable moving or resizing your xterm * view the log: 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log' - use "/EDID" + [n]/[N] to search for EDID related messages * if Xorg is started you can of course switch back to text console by [Alt][Ctrl]-[F1]/[F2]/.. - [F7]/[F8] is Xorg (see also: fgconsole, chvt, xinit xterm -- vt08)
I had one fail with KMS on the RC2-candidate, that works with nomodeset (radeonhd) actual result: (1) garbeled screen (pixelry/vertical colorful lines) this appeared so quickly that even framebuffer might be affected # hwinfo --gfxcard 29: PCI 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] Unique ID: VCu0.GIwFDtbMYr1 Parent ID: 3hqH.Qy_pXcjj2L1 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "ATI Radeon HD 3450" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x95c5 "ATI Radeon HD 3450" SubVendor: pci 0x1028 "Dell" SubDevice: pci 0x0342 Driver: "radeon" Driver Modules: "drm" Memory Range: 0xe0000000-0xefffffff (ro,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xf7df0000-0xf7dfffff (rw,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0xdc00-0xdcff (rw) Memory Range: 0xf7e00000-0xf7e1ffff (ro,non-prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 33 (72454 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00001002d000095C5sv00001028sd00000342bc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: XFree86 v4 Server Module: radeonhd Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #10 (PCI bridge) Primary display adapter: #29 kernel-default-2.6.37.1-1.2.2.i586 Monitor: Dell 1920x1080 EDID for output DVI-0 Manufacturer: DEL Model: 405e -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1mKtkACgkQSTYLOx37oWQDigCgm0ZCJkPGaqG34tH50P5xV3nP ZfgAnjXXTh1eioH2THFLM8yyoUKcx6Ta =sy2p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
