Re: Radeon 9000 If (RV250), Mac G4 (Wintunnel) problems withXFree86

[John Leach]

Hi Michel (and the rest of the cc club),

I upgraded my dri-trunk packages today (xlibmesga-gl1 and
xserver-xfree86) from your repository and my dual head config now works!

I am an extremely happy bunny.  Have you an unfullfilled Amazon wishlist
item or something I can bless you with?

I have version 2003.07.25-2 of the two packages I mentioned.  I also
have the drm-trunk-module-src module but have not compiled or inserted
the module, so just the xserver stuff fixed this.

My current config (Radeon M9 with LCD+Iiyama Vision Master Pro 451) can
be found at:

John.

  When did you try exactly ? I've seen more fixes for TMDS getting
  in the CVS recently. I'm not sure what's up here, definitely not
  something the doc explains. I suspect it's the path of pixel
  data from the framebuffer to the TMDS transmitter that has an
  endian problem, I fail to see why SURFACE_CNTL thing would fail,
  or maybe it's a problem related to surface translation getting in
  our way ?
 
 I suspected that as well. If current CVS still doesn't work (works
 perfectly here with an external CRT on an M9 in a TiBook IV), please try
 this patch and post the RADEONInitCommonRegisters output.
 
 Or maybe it's something like http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521
 ?

Re: Radeon 9000 If (RV250), Mac G4 (Wintunnel) problems withXFree86

[John Leach]

Hi Michel,

My attempts at using the binary have failed.  X reports:

(II) LoadModule: radeon
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/drivers/radeon_drv.o
(II) Module radeon: vendor=The XFree86 Project
compiled for 4.3.99.5, module version = 4.0.1
Module class: XFree86 Video Driver
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.7
(EE) module ABI minor version (7) is newer than the server's version (6)
(II) UnloadModule: radeon
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk/drivers/radeon_drv.o
(EE) Failed to load module radeon (module requirement mismatch, 0)

I've tried and failed to build a new dri-trunk package incorporating the
patch (most likely a newbie deb package building/xfree86 compiling
problem).

My package versions are:
xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-6  the XFree86 X server
xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk 2003.05.04-1  The XFree86 X server [DRI trunk]

If this is due to your binary being compiled against a different version
of X than my own, what can I do?  Should I try it with a 4.3 server?
(and if so, are some official debs available?)  Could you compile it
against a lower version for me?  Or shall I just give up on this whilst
somebody else with more xfree86 smarts tests it? :(

Thanks,

John.

   Hi all,
   
   I have several problems with the ATI Radeon drivers in XFree on my Mac G4 
   Windtunnel (dual 1.4GHz).
  
   Summary:
   1) CRT + TMDS dual head configuration doesn't work
   2) In all configurations colors are completely wrong
   3) closing X blanks all monitors
   
   I have tested following versions of XFree86:
   Debian sid officail 4.2.1
   Michel Daenzer's 4.2.1 DRI build
   Debian inoffical 4.3.0
   latest CVS build (by myself) as of yesterday (4.3.99...)
  
  Ok, CVS is the really interesting one. Michel, did you ever commit
  the fix of SURFACE_CNTL ? That should fix the colors at least on
  the main aperture
 
 It's in, but only handles aperture 0. Can someone try
 http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86/radeon-ap1.diff or
 http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86/radeon_drv.o ?
