Re: does radeon driver support HDMI video?

What's interesting, if I start X with HDMI cable connected to the monitor directly, and then changed to HDMI extender, I could still see the video correctly. That's why I thought forcing HDMI output would help here (fglrx has such an option, but it can't use it when randr is used, go figure). You should be able to force the output on with xrandr via your xorg config file. Add a monitor section section for your hdmi monitor called HDMI-0, the set Option Enable True and specify the sync ranges and preferred mode. e.g., (replace the sync ranges and preferred mode as per your desired config): Section Monitor Identifier HDMI-0 HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 56-76 Modeline 1280x1024_60.00 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync Option PreferredMode 1280x1024_60.00 EndSection ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Problems while writing a Composite Manager with Damage, Render, XFixes and Composite
Hello, I'm currently writing a Composite Manager with XCB as an university project[0]. I'm using a library for EWMH[1] I have written and which has not been committed yet to xcb-util because it is not finished yet. I read xcompmgr code along with the extensions specifications to figure out how all these extensions interacts together. At the moment, I'm not writing the code from a performance point of view, so I'm just trying to stick to the minimum features and especially to make it work. However, I have the following problems and I really can't figure out what's wrong (the main code is in render.c for Render related functions, window.c and event.c): 1/ When receiving a DestroyNotify event, I use DamageDestroy on the previously created damage object but I get a BadDamage error whereas it is the same damage object identifier from its creation to the DamageDestroy request. 2/ I don't have any problem when starting the Composite Manager when windows already exist (e.g. existing are correctly painted on the screen), but it does not work when trying to paint new window on the screen (I don't get any error though). Basically, my code does the following: 1) Initialization (working fine): a) RenderCreatePicture with the root window identifier and with SubwindowMode equals to IncludeInferiors and assigned to global variable globalconf.root_picture. b) Get the root background pixmap, if there is none, create a new pixmap of 1x1 pixels, then RenderCreatePicture with Repeat equals to true, then fill it with RenderFillRectangles, and assigned to a global variable globalconf.root_background_picture. c) RenderComposite from b) to a). 2) When a CreateNotify event is received: a) DamageCreate on the new window identifier. 3) When a MapNotify event is received: a) Set the map state to Viewable. b) Get the window pixmap with CompositeNameWindowPixmap. 4) When a DamageNotify is received: a) Set the window as damaged. 5) Paint all the windows: a) RenderComposite from 1b) to 1a) in order to repaint the screen. b) RenderCreatePicture on the pixmap 3b). c) RenderComposite from b) to 1a). Is there anything wrong in these requests? I think I may have not understood an important concept but I can't figure out which one. I have not used XFixes for now because I don't really know when to use it because as far as I have understood, XFixes would avoid useless copy of pixels. I'm also a bit confused about DamageSubtract too and don't know exactly when it would be useful (for handling opacity?). Thank you very much in advance for your answers.

Re: Radeon X300, dual head

Koch hjk at linutronix.de http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg wrote: Hi, I used to have a working system with a Radeon X300 (RV370) card and two monitors 1680x1050 each. I used an ancient xorg version (something like 6.8, can't recall) and had a MergedFB+Xinerama configuration. Worked well for me. A few days ago I dist-upgraded my Debian sid which brought me version 7.3 of xserver-xorg. Since that I'm trying to get my dual head setup working again... I understand that MergedFB has been replaced by RandR 1.2 extensions. Sounds like a good concept to me, but unfortunately it doesn't work here. X correctly detects my hardware, but no matter what I do, I always have the same output on DVI-0 and VGA-0. I googled around and found a lot of pages describing how to setup xorg.conf, and I think it's OK. Question: Is this supposed to work or a known problem? What do I have to do to get a working dual head setup again? yes it should work. you may need to add a virtual line to your config to reserve enough framebuffer space for your config. This page gives a pretty good overview of how to configure things with xrandr: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 One problem that comes up from time to time is that the xserver will clone the outputs (drive both monitors with the same display controller rather than with independent display controllers). The xrandr utility doesn't seem to be smart enough to grab a new crtc when you select multi-head, so you sometimes have to specify the crtc. run xrandr --verbose to see how the topology is configured. You can use this set of commands to specify a crtc: xrandr --output VGA-0 --off xrandr --output VGA-0 --crtc1 --mode 1680x1050 xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of DVI-0 Alex Hi - I've recently upgraded my desktop distribution from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11, having worked up from various prior versions of Fedora. I too have an X300, which was working magnificently in dual head mode, originally in F9, and then, with a minor hack (I had to downgrade the radeon driver to the F9 version, 6.8.0-12) in F10. Now I'm at F11, it seems I can no longer make dual head work (the downgrade hack doesn't work, presumably due to incompatible versions). Having googled around, the description above is the best, most recent, fit I can find for the symptoms I'm experiencing. However, the solution that Alex suggests is not solving the problem; I am still stuck with both monitors displaying either the left hand side or the right hand side of the desktop (which exists, virtually - I can drag and drop windows off the side of the display and subsequently switch the monitors' - collective - view to see them). Worse, xrandr --verbose reports DVI-0 and VGA-0 on different CRTCs. Could the x server be cloning upstream of the video hardware? I am on version 1.6.1.901 of the Xorg server, and 6.12.2 of the radeon driver. Any suggestions much appreciated. I'm happy to post appropriate logs/dumps/etc if these will be of help (mostly greek to me).

Radeon KMS testing ( RV280 )
Hi all. I've finally built a 2.6.31-rc kernel that boots. Not sure what's been going on there. Anyway, I've been keen to test KMS TTM stuff. Unfortunatley, it's a double no-go. When the radeon module loads ( I assume for flicker-free boot, I'll have to build it into the kernel, and not as a module ), the screen goes black, and I get a warning that the current mode is out of range. Is there some kernel arg to override the default settings? Should the radeon module already be detecting supported modes? Next, when X tried to load, it crashes ( with a very corrupted image - didn't switch back to the console and give me 'current mode out of range' error ... should it? ). See log at: http://entropy.homelinux.org/Xorg.KMS.log Luckily, CTRL-ALT-DEL cleanly rebooted things. I've built xf86-video-ati from git a little while back ( doesn't build at the moment ). Same for mesa and xserver ( ie from a little while back - also doesn't build at the moment ). I built libdrm with the --enable-radeon-experimental-api switch.
