Summary: xf86-video-ati newer than 6.6.3 incorrectly identifies
displays.
Product: xorg
Version: 7.2
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Driver/Radeon
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i had a problem stated in bug #9892. it was partly resolved, so i decided to
open a new bug.
i discovered that it boils down to the driver incorrectly detecting my display
type.
i have an RV370 pci-e card (gigabyte x300se) with one dvi-i port and one
s-video output.
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300
(PCIE)]
05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]
the problem is - my LCD gives out into "no signal" when starting X with any
version of xf86-video-ati driver a few git commits after 6.6.3 (specifically
the "dynamically allocate connectors commit broke the driver for me, see bug
#9892).
i have benq fp72g+d lcd display connected via dvi cable.
first test:
today's git
-------------------------
i specified Option "Monitor Layout" "TMDS,TMDS" in xorg.conf
X starts and works (judging by HDD activity) and i can kill it with
ctrl+alt+bksp every time with no lockups.

look closely at lines 607-617 - it claims that my display is connected via VGA
port, which my card does not even have!
-------------------------
6.6.3
-------------------------
http://pastebin.ca/646281
again, look at lines 586 - 596. see the difference? this time my display is
identified on DVI-I conector (which is right).
-------------------------
without specifying the MonitorLayout option the logs look about the same.
i'll post them later if needed.
