----- Additional Comments From gilliam.com 2007-04-19 13:33 EDT ------- Patch from RedHat Reverse mirror of an attachment more information is available at upstream bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10620 Created attachment 153082 [details]
disable on-chip RMX using ddc_mode option
we would like to disable on-chip RMX by enable ddc_mode option. with this
modification, there will be minimal impact to the upstream Xorg.
when IBM Lewis server is detected, ddc_mode is automatically enabled, so the
on-chip RMX will be disabled for this machine.
Can you advise if this latest patch is acceptable for the next RH update? And if so has it been scheduled? *** Bug 235157 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Looks fine to me.

Description of problem: when install RHEL5-BETA2 on IBM Lewis server, video on local monitor is in poor quality, and there is no video output on remote control. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.el5.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect a monitor to server 2.log in to the remote control 3.install rhel5-beta2 and start X-windows Expected results: following modes on both local monitor and remote control should be OK. vesa mode: 1024x768@75hz, 70hz,60hz 800x600@75hz,72hz,60hz Actual results: None of the above modes are OK. Additional info: on-chip RMX mode is only enabled when the driver thinks it’s driving a digital panel which will cause poor quality on CRT. This is also an old day’s radeon driver preference that probably shouldn’t be used any more because almost all modern TMDS panels have internal scaler which usually can result in better quality than our internal RMX. in our case, radeon driver use RMX modes for remote video by default, however, the stretched RMX modes can't be well support. To fix this bug, we can change digital pannel mode validation routine not to use RMX mode by default, but validate modes by matching modes from EDID info instead.
