Description of problem:

Since kernel-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64 KMS doesn't set the correct video mode.
The LCD reports 480i-Mode, X11 reports 1920x1200/60.0.

kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 works without a problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64 and kernel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot
  
Actual results:

LCD switches to 480i-mode, X11 think it's a 1920x1200/60.0 mode.

Expected results:

LCD should switch to 1920x1200/60.0.

Additional info:

LCD (LG L245WP) is attached via DVI/HMDI cable.

kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 reports during boot:
[drm] TMDS-15: set mode 1920x1200 19

kernel-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64 doesn't

Comment 3 Chuck Ebbert 2010-03-14 05:15:11 UTC
You could try disabling tv-out by adding 'radeon.tv=0' to your kernel boot options.

Comment 4 lars@bistromatic.de 2010-03-14 21:10:11 UTC
Unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem. Using radeon.tv=0 I just get a blank/black screen.

Comment 5 lars@bistromatic.de 2010-05-08 15:23:07 UTC
Still doesn't work in Fedora13 RC (05/07/2010).
I've to choose 'install with basic video driver' to get a usable installation screen.

Shall I file a new bug against F13?

Comment 6 Piotr 2010-05-19 10:57:17 UTC
Looks like I have similar problem. In my case my laptop screen resolution is 1400x1050 and external monitor 1920x1200. When I boot with any 2.6.32.x kernel the screen on ext. is ... wavy and the "waves" are proportional to its resolution (the higher resolution the smaller and faster they are). When I boot with "nomodeset" option the screen looks fine, but after a few minutes or so it starts to go blank for a couple off seconds and when it switches on the view is ragged in some places. Today I've tested it on latest fedora 13 beta and it's even worse.
I have Lenovo T60 with radoen x1400 card

Comment 7 Piotr 2010-05-28 12:24:26 UTC
Full Fedora 13 with 2.6.33 kernel fixed the issue for me. Although sometimes the scren starts to act strange after change of resolution or swithing to sleep mode. But its enough to swith the resolution to a different one and back and it's ok.

Comment 8 lars@bistromatic.de 2010-05-29 11:20:31 UTC
This bug still exists using kernel 2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64.
Changing Version to 13.

Comment 9 lars@bistromatic.de 2010-10-17 19:13:53 UTC
This regression still exists in Fedora 14 beta using kernel 2.6.35.6-43.fc14.x86_64.

Comment 10 lars@bistromatic.de 2010-11-05 16:02:26 UTC
Regression still exists in F14 using kernel 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64.

Comment 12 Matti Kerttula 2011-08-08 14:44:26 UTC
I have an LG L245WP display (w/ DVI-HDMI) finally working with KMS.

Tested with up-to-date Fedora 15.

Kernel: 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
Display adapter: Radeon HD 4830

Comment 13 lars@bistromatic.de 2011-08-09 20:13:21 UTC
Same here. Seems to work using  kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64.
