Description Mads Kiilerich 2011-07-27 16:38:10 UTC
Created attachment 515557 [details]
dmesg with drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=16M

Description of problem:
X works when booting with nomodeset and xorg.conf specifies fbdev.
KMS (no nomodeset) gives a black display.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.0.0-1.fc16.x86_64


Expected results:
Working KMS would be perfect, but fallback to no KMS would be an improvement.

EFI booting with grub2 and efi_gop - the same issue might exist in pc/bios mode.

Xorg.0.log with nomodeset and fbdev

Comment 2 Jérôme Glisse 2011-07-27 20:58:31 UTC
please attach kernel log (dmesg) + Xorg log when booting without the nomodeset option

Comment 3 Mads Kiilerich 2011-07-27 22:31:25 UTC
I already attached dmesg without nomodeset - and with drm.debug=14. Isn't that good enough?

KMS fails completely and blanks the screen and gives no output at all. AFAICT because it can't find a suitable connector (=display/modesetting?). AFAIK X in KMS mode thus doesn't have chance - and the X log didn't show anything interesting because it bailed out early. Do you want it anyway? Ok - I will get it tomorrow.

Likely display port issue with kms. Please attach your video bios:

cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0
sudo sh -c "echo 1 > rom"
sudo sh -c "cat rom > ~/bios.rom"

Comment 14 Mads Kiilerich 2011-11-10 18:39:07 UTC
Same behaviour with 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64, but a couple of new messages:
 [drm:radeon_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* aux i2c too many retries, giving up
 [drm:radeon_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* aux i2c too many retries, giving up

Comment 15 Mads Kiilerich 2012-03-12 16:43:29 UTC
Still failing with F16 with 3.2.9-1.fc16.x86_64.

Comment 16 Jérôme Glisse 2012-04-26 17:43:29 UTC
When you test make sure to disable fbdev in Xorg conf and also attach newer dmesg with drm.debug=14

smolt, dmesg and X log with 3.3.2-6.fc16.x86_64 drm.debug=14

Attaching smolt, dmesg and X log with 3.3.2-6.fc16.x86_64 drm.debug=14, captured blindly using a custom live USB booted with grub2 2.0 beta4.

(grub2 do not have any font and do not explicitly set gfxmode or gfxpayload and not use gfxterm ... could soemthing in that area make a difference?)

Comment 21 Mads Kiilerich 2012-05-09 18:31:44 UTC
Do you have any plans to backport it to f16? I can't test a f17 kernel at the moment.

smolt info, dmesg and X log with 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64

I don't know the nature of the fix, but I would expect that it also should make it work with the 3.4 kernel in f16 ... but it doesn't do that for me.

Logs from custom live usb with EFI and grub2beta6 are attached.

Comment 23 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 19:32:36 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19

Comment 24 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 21:51:29 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 25 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 13:36:10 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
