dmesg from F13 latest nightly
Fedora 13 running lastest nightly compose, desktop-x86_64-20100310.20.iso. Plus I did a yum update on the xorg-x11-drv-ati. So I'm running:
kernel-2.6.33-1.fc13.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.23.20100219gite68d3a389.fc13.x86_64
I have exactly the same problem. After latest yum update vga-0 lcd monitor displays wavy distortions. The distortions are more pronounced as the screen resolutions decrease. Created attachment 401949 [details]

Using :- xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.5.902-1.fc12.i686 mesa-dri-drivers-7.7-4.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-ati-firmware-6.13.0-0.21.20100219gite68d3a389.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.21.20100219gite68d3a389.fc12.i686 kernel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686 I have this too on the Compaq nc6400. For what it's worth, this bug is also in Ubuntu Lucid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/539350 This bug also applies to the HP nx9420 2.6.34-0.19.rc2.git4.fc14.x86_64 here. Also, what's the deal with the fc14/fc13 stuff...some packages seem go one way and others the other... Note the problem goes away when you use this, 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686, Kernel. I saw the same problem during the Radeon Test Day on my laptop with RS690M. I bisected it to: ebbe1cb936dfc96d809ccf4d64a9755f8ba0c0ff drm/radeon/kms/atom: add support for spread spectrum (v2) This commit itself was not testable, so I had to apply this patch too: d11aa88b33b071d55181a7a482b9e7494888c10e drm/radeon/kms/atom: fix potential oops in spread spectrum code Then I found the bug is already fixed in 2.6.34-rc4 by commit: 267364ac17f6474c69b03034340f769b22f46105 drm/radeon/kms: further spread spectrum fixes So, when does 2.6.34 get released to the consumers? (In reply to comment #13) > So, when does 2.6.34 get released to the consumers? Not in Fedora 13. (In reply to comment #14) > Not in Fedora 13. Any chance of this being backported to a F13 kernel? Created attachment 407745 [details] quick hack to disable spread spectrum For now I'm using the attached simple patch which just disables spread spectrum. Here's a scratch kernel build (F-13, x86_64): http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/michich/task_2127062/ Dave Airlie backported the proper fix to F-13. drm-radeon-ss-fix.patch is now in kernel-2.6.33.2-57.fc13: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2127556 I have tested the x86_64 build on my RS690M and it works fine. kernel-2.6.33.2-57.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.33.2-57.fc13 kernel-2.6.33.2-57.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.33.2-57.fc13 kernel-2.6.33.2-57.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Sorry to bring the thread back to life but, is there a fix for this bug in FC12 or is the fix only available for FC13? |
