I have a DG965OT motherboard with G965 graphics and an ADD2 card. I'm displaying on a Viewsonic 2750w LCD tv. In fedora core 6, the intel driver didn't work at all. In Core 7 Test 3 live CD, I get an option for 1280x720x60 which I believe is the native resolution. The problem is that there is a 1/2" bar on the left side of the screen that looks blury. If I send the mouse all the way to the right, I can see the white movement on the left. It's the mouse cursor heavily distorted. I'm also getting overscan, but I suppose that is expected on a LCD TV. My old resolution of 1280x1024 perfectly filled the screen, but wasn't a wide screen resolution so things were distorted. This is the only error message: (EE) intel(0): Unable to write to SDVOCTRL_E for SDVOB Slave 0x70 That message is repeated throughout Xorg.0.log about thirty times. Thanks for your help! Release Date: 14 March 2007
Interesting... Everything seems to work perfectly if I use the VGA port. I have 1280x720x60 with no artifacts or overscan. It appears the problem is just with the DVI ADD2 card. I'm using a wintec ADD2 card: WINTEC 35111141-R I purchased it from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815133001
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 151681 [details] xorg.conf
Created attachment 151683 [details] Xorg.0.log
This xorg.conf is created after I pick the intel driver using the display settings GUI. If I have no xorg.conf, then the created file uses the i810 driver which doesn't do modesetting. So id don't think attaching the log will be helpful for that case.
I tried installing the new xserver and xf86-video-intel driver from git (plus a bunch of other packages trying to get them to compile. I finally got it working but am getting the same visual errors. Should I be creating an xorg bug report?
Could we get updated /var/log/Xorg.*.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if different from the previous one), please?
Created attachment 151873 [details] New Xorg.0.log with fx86-video-intel, xserver, mesa, drm, etc. from git Added new Xorg.0.log I didn't use a Xorg.conf file this time. Things of note: I think that was the same error as before. (EE) intel(0): Unable to write to SDVOCTRL_E for SDVOB Slave 0x70. Not sure if this is a problem or not. Maybe something I screwed up when trying to install: (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.1.99.2, module version = 0.0.2 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 2.0 (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory I think I misconfigured something here, since the end of the log file fills with this: [dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection ":1.26" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display0" due to security policies in the configuration file) Other things: Compiz doesn't work any more. I'm guessing I need a new version now. Glxgears works ok. Sample compiz errors: compiz: pixmap 0x3e000c9 can't be bound to texture compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0xe0002f to texture Other then that I have to manually startx now after removing /tmp/.X0-lock Let me know if I can get you anything else.
One other thing. I was trying to run the Abat test and is says that DRI is disabled. $ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No I don't see anything about this though in Xorg.0.log
I think glxinfo is lying. Ppracer and other games are working.
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost. This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.
Sorry, the problem was caused by an overscan setting on my lcd tv. Everything looks great now. I'm running FC7 Devel. You can close this one - it was just my own dumb error.
