[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1049630]

2013-12-09 Thread Stillcompiling
Oh, wow!
patch in attachment 89886 seems to fix this issue for me.

Today is thanksgiving here in the USA.
I am thankful for open source radeon drivers.
I am thankful for your efforts, Alex Deucher.

This would confirm that it is a bogus BIOS setting where the bios reports
384, but it is actually only 256.
I tried something similar on my own earlier, but I did not understand the
memory layout well enough to know to adjust the base address.
Thank you for trying yet again to fix this, Alex.
I am testing now.  Anyone else on this bug able to test this proposed fix?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1049630]

2013-09-12 Thread Stillcompiling
I just had time to try this latest patch.
Unfortunately it does not correct the issue.
Is there any way to check or change the beginning and ending addresses of
sideport memory and stolen system memory once the system is up?
If there are registers I can read or write to experiment I will be happy to
try it,but I am afraid I was unable to comprehend a lot of the register
documentation from AMD.

Title:
  [rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Edit]
  This bug has been around for a bit over a year now, and has gotten rather 
long, so this is a brief summary.
  There is a memory corruption issue that affects users of the rs690m, to 
varying degrees.
  For many most people, it makes the desktop unusable.

  Workaround:   *Note: This is a workaround, not a fix.  It will give you a 
usable system.
  [Natty]: Regression: This workaround now only provides 2d/software rendering, 
and one must either:
 * Choose choose the Ubuntu Classic session from the GDM Login screen
 or
 * Install the unity-2d package.  

  [code]
  sudo su
  echo options radeon modeset=0  /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
  exit
  [/code]
  Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue, but brings your desktop to a 
workable state.

  Freedesktop.org has dealt with one bug having to do with graphics corruption 
on the rs690m.  That bug has been fixed, but the issue of graphics corruption 
in general has not been resolved.  A new bug has been opened with 
freedesktop.org to continue pushing through the resolution of this issue.
