[Bug 146643] Re: Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage

2007-11-27 Thread Bryce Harrington
stoft, thanks for pointing to that bug, but it doesn't appear related to
Checkmate's issue; for one thing that bug relates to -i810, whereas
Checkmate is using the neomagic driver.

Sorry Checkmate, this appears to have gotten lost in the shuffle, and
I've only re-noticed it now.  It's too late for Gutsy-final but I'll
work towards getting this out in an update.

Only 13 days till Ubuntu 7.10! I was hoping someone would apply the
changes mentioned in the links and help me test a patched version of
X.Org, but this bug's fallen silent. I'm posting a proposed patch. It's
a git patch for the latest xorg/xserver tree, but I believe it will
apply to any recent version of the int10 code. Now I need help testing
the changes. I don't know how to compile X.Org for Ubuntu.

X86_EDI

  Resolution detection on a Tecra 8000 laptop fails due to bad video BIOS usage.
  This conversation on the X.Org mailing list sums it up:

   I own a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop. The display device is a NeoMagic
   MagicGraph256AV, which uses the NM2200 chipset. The monitor goes up to
   1024x768. When I install Xubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 (with latest updates), it
   fails to detect the screen resolutions properly. It maxes out at 640x480
   until I adjust the HorizSync and VertSync parameters in
   /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The reason for this seems to be that X.Org fails to
   call the video BIOS function to get monitor data. (See attached
   /var/log/Xorg.0.log)
  
   During the VBE DDC transfer, it gets 01 ILLEGAL X86 EXTENDED OPCODE.
   That indicates the opcode 0F 01, correct? The INVPLG instruction.
  
   Looks a bit like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11842 .

   Wow, it's just a one-character change to the code! I'd really like to try
   that patch. I guess it's time for me to figure out how to compile X.Org. 
  
  Note: INVPLG is probably a red herring.
- I first wrote about this in bug 1371.
