You can also post a new Xorg.0.log to see which version is running.

How did you manage to fix the issue?
Did you install the latest development tip or did you manage to get the older 
version (Version 0.6.0) working?

I2C bus basically means VESA DDC.
If I understand, VESA DDC was originally for analog VGA monitors.
The protocol used for VESA DDC is I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), hence, I use 
the term "I2C bus."
DVI and some FPs (Flat Panel) also use I2C bus for configuration purposes.

[Bug 1897992] Re: No VGA video signal after installing pkg and rebooting

2020-10-02 Thread Brace Computer Laboratory
Over the past few years, I have tried and failed to figure out how to build the 
latest version of xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package.
Hence, you will have to compile the latest upstream code, and install it 
somewhere manually.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/


If you don't have Git installed already, install it now.

$ sudo apt-get install git


Setup OpenChrome DDX build dependency.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome


You will clone the OpenChrome DDX repository first.

$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-
openchrome


Move into the OpenChrome DDX directory.

$ cd xf86-video-openchrome


When compiling the code, you will like to work with 'main' branch rather than 
'master' branch.
'master' branch is already deprecated, and should not be used.
All the current development happens on 'main' branch.
Make sure to switch to 'main' branch before compiling the code.

$ git branch main origin/main
$ git checkout main


When working with the latest upstream code, and I recommend installing it to 
/opt/xorg.
Prepare the compilation script.

$ autoreconf -v --install
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/xorg --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug 
--enable-viaregtool


You are free to remove ". . . --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug 
--enable-viaregtool" portion if you want to.
Obviously, '$' and '#' are not literally entered inside the terminal.
Compile the code.

$ make


Install the code.

$ sudo make install


Before you can use the latest code, you will also need to tell the X Server to 
search /opt/xorg when starting up the X Server.
Courtesy of Radeon developers (https://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo/), 
insert the following text into a xorg.conf file.

Section "Files"
ModulePath "/opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection


You will need to figure out where to insert the xorg.conf file, but at least 
for recent releases of Ubuntu, I usually put it into 
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.
In order to create and / or edit xorg.conf, you will need root privilege.

$ sudo nano -w /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf


Generally speaking, you do not really need to provide other manual options to 
the X Server for OpenChrome DDX to function properly.
This new installation method preserves the original OpenChrome DDX while 
allowing the user to bypass the older DDX.
If there is newer version of the code, you can pull it into your local 
repository.

$ git pull


Repeat the above procedure for generating the compilation script.
If you wanted to remove the code, you can simply get rid of /opt/xorg

$ sudo rm -R /opt/xorg


You can also remove the above 3 lines from your xorg.conf.
I hope this solves the issue.

2020-10-02 Thread Brace Computer Laboratory
I took a look at the Xorg.0.log.old you attached.
It appears that the host (your computer) is not seeing the monitor via I2C bus, 
and that's why it is not able to configure the monitor.
It could be a hardware issue (monitor / cable / mainboard VGA connector).
Before recommending installing the current development tip (OpenChrome DDX 
Version 0.6.315), your may want to figure out which one of them might be at 
fault.
If you have another computer that has a VGA output, test the monitor and cable 
with that one to see if the hardware is working correctly.
