Description Stefan Becker 2008-10-28 17:11:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

When the kernel is booted up with KMS enabled then xrandr can't disable outputs. After executing "xrandr --output XYZ --off" the display is still active and gets updated. Only the mouse pointer is no longer visible.

If you boot the kernel with "nomodeset" xrandr works correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.27.4-58.fc10.i686
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-3.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.2-10.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-34.fc10.i386

How reproducible: Always

Additional info:

$ lspci | fgrep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300]
$ lspci -n | fgrep 01:00.0

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:22:46 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Stefan,
Could you confirm the bug is still here on current F10 ?
Could you post :
* dmesg
* /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
as uncompressed text attachments to this bug ?
Thank you

dmesg log

The situation has changed for the current versions:

kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-2.fc10.i386

Now xrandr --off disables the output *BUT* permanently! If I connect to my TV via DVI/HDMI, enable that output, disable LVDS then I only see output on the TV. But then when I activate LVDS again it stays blank. Only a reboot brings it back to live. The resolution change seems to work, as the screen size changes, but the CRTC doesn't seem to get enabled.

Xorg.0.log follows

Comment 5 Stefan Becker 2009-03-31 17:00:37 UTC 
Test system moved to F11 rawhide. Retested with:

kernel-2.6.29-16.fc11.i586
libdrm-2.4.5-3.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-15.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.0-2.fc11.i586

"xrandr --output XYZ --off" works correctly now.
Comment 6 François Cami 2009-04-01 20:21:35 UTC 
Stefan,

Thanks for testing and making sure rawhide is not affected,
this is greatly appreciated.
Reopening since we need to track the status for F10.

This will never be fixed for F10. Test system is already moved to F11 and soon F12...
