Martin-Éric, thank you - I saw you just uploaded 2.7.7.6 about an hour ago. What's weird is that my apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade (with your sources.list entries) did not pull down the newest version. I did download the xserver-xorg-video-amd_2.7.7.6-1ubuntu2_i386.deb update and installed it manually into my chroot (which did, by default, detect 16-bit color with no lts.conf entries necessary on my Koolu thin client).

This tells me that the BIOS in your Koolu client has broken or disabled DDC support.

[Bug 180742] Re: xf86-video-amd: switching to a vcons fails
Jordan, you'd need AMD driver 2.7.7.6 to raise the minimal color depth to 16-bit default. This should fix your resolution issue. However, if it doesn't, you'd have to investigate whether your Koolu client runs on a General software BIOS. If it does, it could very well be that the BIOS was compiled with TFT support enabled, which drastically reduces the number of available resolutions. It could also be that the BIOS was compiled without DDC support, which is a frequent side-effect of building a BIOS with RS232 support. In that case, I would suggest contacting Koolu for instructions on how to update your BIOS with a correct build. -- xf86-video-amd: switching to a vcons fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had to edit my lts.conf to allow higher color and resolution - but the X_MODE_O = 1024x768 isn't working.

To follow up on yesterday's discovery of an x86emu ILLEGAL OPCODE message.. The opcode was 0F A2, or CPUID; it was not implemented in the emulator. I have created a simple patch that emulates this instruction by passing it the exact values of the instruction ran on the real hardware. Patch is attached. I have tested it on Gutsy (xorg 1.3.0.0). The patch applies cleanly if you put it last in the debian/patches queue. This allows the video-amd driver to actually switch back to console mode... but only if that console mode was 80x25. I stated with vga=ext in my kernel command line. This still does not work. The result is a hybrid. The font renders correctly, but only the top 25 lines of the VT are displayed.

[Bug 180742] Re: xf86-video-amd: switching to a vcons fails
Joe, thank you for reporting on this X.log line. It gets us closer to finding the exact cause. Could you attach these items to the bug: 1) The full X.log 2) The output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script Also, it would be useful to know the brand of BIOS your ALIX board is using and what sort of display is attached to it (CRT via VGA or TFT directly on the Geode's TFT controller). -- xf86-video-amd: switching to a vcons fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 180742] Re: xf86-video-amd: switching to a vcons fails
Gideon, just for the record, could you tell us the brand and model of this GX2 unit? I'm trying to make a table of all known Geode GX2/LX models on the X.org wiki, to help the developers track BIOS and hardware vendor -related issues.
