Summary: TV-out issues Product: DRI Version: unspecified Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: peter@peter-server.homelinux.net
I have some issues with the tv-out of an HD2600XT (RV630) I tried Ubuntu 9.04 with xorg-edgers and a .33 and .34 kernel. I also tried a 10.04 stock live cd. Results were exactly the same.
I'm trying to use an 7" portable dvd-player (a ViewFun MP-72. It is also sold as Mustek, and the same chipset is found in other dvd-players as well) as a 2nd monitor. It worked with fglrx...
I also have an 19" LCD monitor connected with a DVI-VGA adapter.
I can boot the machine in two ways. With and without the dvd player connected. Without the player connected everything works fine. The login screen and desktop work at 1440*900 and there's proper acceleration. Everithing works as it should. Kudo's to whoever did make this happen! (ati/amd employers excluded) Finally! (I own this card since sept. 2007, and I never had proper drivers until now...)
But I could also pulg in the dvd player. I can see the bios messages and grub menu on both screens. I might even see (part of) usplash. Then the dvd player turns blue, like it is recieving no signal. The main monitor displays the login screen at a distorted 1024*768. When I login my monitor switches to 1440*900, but it shows an out-of-range error. The image looks a bit noisy, and the refresh rate looks low, like 25Hz. Especially mouse movement is not fluid.
Strory continus tomorrow, with drm.debug and xrandr output...
