Even normal boot without external display gives some screen corruption on the LVDS, giving a somewhat corrupted background image (black horizontal stripes), and vertical scroll bars where the bottom part is green. Created attachment 340691 [details]

xrandr output with external DVI display hotplugged after boot
Interesting is that the external displays have 0x0 resolution modes, which do not happen on the exact same external display when attached to another ThinkPad running F11 beta with Intel graphics In the DVI boot case, the DVI modes are being copied to (and replacing) the LVDS modes In the DVI hotplug case, the DVI modes are being added to the LVDS modes, although it seems it corrupts the LVDS mode somewhat and gdp does not show it kernel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-7.fc11.i586 Since I noticed some EDID updates in the changelog I decided to try with the external VGA display again. When booting with the VGA attached, plymouth only displays on the ThinkPad LCD at the correct native resolution. At this point the VGA display complains about an unsupported display mode. When GDM starts the virtual desktop is again too large (1600x1200) for the display size (1400x1050). The VGA display at this stage does not seem to receive signal (so the unsupported mode message is gone). After login the virtual desktop size is changed to match the display size. external VGA is off still. Here is xrandr at the GDM prompt. Interesting is that it thinks the VGA is on at 1600x1200 but the VGA display seems to disagree. # xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 432mm x 324mm 1600x1200 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 0x0 0.0 DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1400x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1400x1050 50.0*+ using GDP to activate the external display after login causes corruption on both displays. The same thing happens when hotplugging the VGA display after boot. xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-13.fc11.i586 LVDS mode list corruption no longer occurs with DVI attached displays. But external DVI displays are still a problem. When hotplugging a DVI display xrandr output seems ok (other then the 0x0 resolution issue), but the external display cannot be activated. GDP fails with an error that it could not make the settings. When I boot with the display attached, everything seems normal during Plymouth (no display on DVI, but ThinkPad LCD shows graphical bootup at full resolution), but the moment GDM is supposed to start the ThinkPad LCD is switched off and the DVI display complains that signal is out of range. When I ssh into the system I get the following # xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 432mm x 324mm 1600x1200 60.0 + 1280x1024 75.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0* 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 0x0 0.0 LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1400x1050 50.0 + 1280x1024 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1024x768 60.0* 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 So it seems it tried to enable Mirror mode at 1024x768. Not sure why 1024x768 was selected as they have a higher resolution in common (1280x1024). Because the refresh rates did not match? I also tested with VGA, and the situation is identical with DVI. Which at least is consistent.... Here is a writeup I did http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_11_on_a_ThinkPad_T41 SMOLT profile http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_276b9cfe-6c93-4928-b3c0-1789cac90d0e This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping No major changes with current rawhide. When hotplugging a VGA display, I instantly get some minor corruption on the LVDS display. Then running xrandr causes the LVDS to go off for a second, and then switches back on again, and the system tray in the gnome-panel vanishes. Still unable to activate the external display xrandr output shows the external display, but still has these issues - external display has a bogus 0x0 resolution - LVDS display has lots of bogus modes added, such as 2048x1536, while the panel is only 1400x1050. This would seem to be a Xorg driver issue as KMS sets the display to the correct resolution on boot. This issue also occurs without external display attached. kernel-2.6.31-0.132.rc5.git3.fc12.i686 libdrm-2.4.12-0.6.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99-27.20090804.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-21.fc12.i686 Booting with external VGA attached causes the Xserver to segfault on start.

latest xorg log from startx with backtrace
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages (at least F12Beta, but even better if the very latest versions). Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] Perhaps it is better to close this bug report, It was reported during F11 beta and nothing ever happened with it. I occasionally made updates to it to report the then current status, but over time that probably just caused extra confusion. In any case, the current situation is - Booting with external display attached (VGA or DVI) works fine for plymouth graphical boot, but the moment the X server starts for GDM, the LVDS switches off and the external display is garbled (like certain areas are not getting redrawn) - Hotplugging an external display works mostly, although external only setup switches both displays off. But when halting the system the plymouth screen on LVDS will do a weird fade to white like the screen is burning out. Robert i believe you have a bug filled against Fedora 12 for suspend resume issue, but you don't have the issue described in this bug on fedora 12 ? I am closing this bug assuming i am right, if you still have this issue on fedora 12 please reopen and attach Fedora 12 last dmesg,Xorg.log thanks. Just for completeness, the issues where actually not solved in F12. But today I installed the latest updates from koji and pretty much all the issues are now resolved. kernel-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686 libdrm-2.4.15-5.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.15.20091127gita8dbf7c23.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-12.fc12.i686 |
