Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2008:0314 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Updated kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 2008-05-20 18:43:34 UTC

Description Bhavna Sarathy 2008-01-16 15:02:57 UTC
Add HDMI support for AMD ATI chipsets to allow HDMI to work on a wide variety of
chipsets.   The patch is for RS780, RV610, RV620, RV630, RV635, RV670, RV770. 
The patch has been tested on RV610, RV630 and with the patch it works correctly. 

The next stable/unstable release of also-sriver right after version 1.0.15 will
include it, and the patch can already be found in the alsa-driver daily snapshot.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2008-01-16 15:17:17 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 2 Russell Doty 2008-01-16 16:06:13 UTC
Does this work with the rs series of integrated graphics, especially rs690,
rs740 and rs780?

Comment 3 Bhavna Sarathy 2008-01-16 20:00:27 UTC
The patch for RHEL adds the relevant support for RS690, and RS780.  Upstream 
code doesn't have an entry for RS740 and AMD website that talks about chipset 
7 series doesn't have RS740.   

The patch adds the device IDs and presets for sound HDMI for the various 
integrated chipsets.

AMD will test. Hardware is in Westford (part of Griffin system).

Comment 7 Don Zickus 2008-01-22 18:52:18 UTC
in 2.6.18-72.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Comment 9 Don Domingo 2008-02-07 02:15:42 UTC
added to RHEL5.2 release notes under "Kernel-Related Updates":

integrated chipsets.
</quote>

please advise if any further revisions are required. thanks!

Comment 10 Yang, Libin 2008-03-07 06:38:29 UTC
Our QA has tested it on the latest kernel.

The test result is:

After using the patch, HDMI Audio is supported.

But before using HDMI Audio, we need do some modification in modprobe
configuration. please see the following for detail information:

Comment 11 Russell Doty 2008-03-14 16:49:37 UTC
Changed summary to reflect that this is HDMI audio, not HDMI video.

Comment 12 Don Domingo 2008-03-17 00:38:01 UTC
thanks Russell, revising release note as:

Hi,
the RHEL5.2 release notes will be dropped to translation on April 15, 2008, at
which point no further additions or revisions will be entertained.

a mockup of the RHEL5.2 release notes can be viewed at the following link:
http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL5u2relnotesmockup.html

please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the
release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a
link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by
bug number.

Cheers,
Don
