ddcprobe prints out garbage with 3dfx voodoo 3500 card.
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:32:59 EDT
Description of problem: The gingin2 installer did not read my monitor frequency, which had to be entered manually. After installing, gingin2's ddcprobe outputs garbage. ddcprobe on a box running psyche, when hooked up to the same monitor, displays the proper monitor frequencies.

Does it work the same on the other box *with the same graphics card* as in the box where it fails?
I swapped the cards between the two boxes. gingin2 ddcprobe reports correct frequencies with the TNT card, and the psyche ddcprobe reports garbage with the 3dfx card; so the problem appears to be the 3dfx card. I do note that up until gingin1 the anaconda installer was able to read the monitor frequencies succesfully. psyche with 3dfx voodoo 3500: Videocard DDC probe results Description: 3dfx Interactive, Inc.

ddcprobe is just a very thin wrapper around kudzu doing DDC probing so these are the values that kudzu is returning
Hm, it works with the first beta, but not with the second? What about the third? :) Arjan, did anything change in vm86 in the kernel recently?
No, beta3 was when I first noticed the problem. I do not recall any issues with beta or beta2.
OK, previously you said 'gingin2', I presumed that meant beta2.
Apologies for the slow response. Please attempt to reproduce this problem on a currently supported release, such as Fedora Core 4. If it does still happen, please open a new issue.
