Re: [XFree86] Can't change hsync from 60Hz on secondary display - Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9)

Success! Now I can get 75Hz @ 1600x1200 on my external monitor by adding just these two driver options: Option CloneHSync 30.0-95.0 Option CloneVRefresh 50.0-160.0 ...and removing all but 1600x1200 from the Modes line in the Screen section. The external monitor is detected and clone mode is automatically set. So, spaces aren't allowed inside these option strings of the radeon driver. Yet the Red Hat phoebe3 beta puts spaces in the HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges of the Monitor section. Is this a bug in XFree86 or in Red Hat? These options are handled differently from those standard sync range lines. Currently these strings are simply read by sscanf(s, %f-%f, ...) which won't return correct results if there are spaces inside the strings. A bit of string parsing here should get these options more tolerant. Also, the laptop's backlight is on even though the cover is closed; is this a known bug as well? A patch has been submitted for some related problems, not sure if it can solve your problem. If you want to try, I can send it to you off the list (there are many other things, too big to post here).

What about the CloneMode and CloneHSync options? Well, I tried. What I got was a 640x480 60Hz window on a 1600x1200 virtual screen. This is similar to the behavior I got with the default config, which only showed 640x480 even though the Modes line was 1600x1200 1400x1050 ... 640x480. I removed all but 1600x1200, and that's the config I'd been running with before I started to ask questions about the low 60Hz refresh rate. Turn on the Clone options, and 640x480 reappears. Why?

Original message repeated below; any other suggestions? = The Red Hat beta folks suggested I ask about this here. phoebe3 is the current version of the beta. Description of problem: A fresh phoebe3 install works very well on my new used Dell Inspiron 8200 with Radeon Mobility 9000, thanks to the new XFree86. However, with the laptop closed and docked in the port replicator, I can't get an external CRT to sync at anything other than 60Hz. This interacts badly with the fluorescent lights around here. I tried to change the Monitor section of the XF86Config file to reflect the stats of the CRT, to no avail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.99.901-20030213.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh phoebe3 install, select Everything. LCD is 1600x1200. 2. Note external CRT displays at eyestrain-inducing 60Hz 3. Change Monitor section of XF86Config to reflect stats of external (Dell P991) CRT rather than internal (Dell UltraSharp 15) LCD. 4. Rerun X or reboot Actual results: No change, still 60Hz Expected results: Should drive the external display at 75Hz or better. Additional info: Complete files appended below, but here's the relevant part of XF86Config: Section Monitor # Option dpms Identifier Monitor0 VendorName Monitor Vendor ModelNameDell P991 HorizSync30.0 - 95.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 EndSection And of the log: (II) RADEON(0): Clone modes validation (II) RADEON(0): DDC detection (type 3) for clone modes (WW) RADEON(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 28.00-33.00kHz (WW) RADEON(0): Monitor0: using default vrefresh range of 43.00-72.00Hz (II) RADEON(0): Clock range: 20.00 to 350.00 MHz ...
