[Bug 561301] Re: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk)
The concerned Hardware is gone, so testing is not possible for me anymore. I guess the bug has to be closed ... I don't remember it occuring on other machines, also with integrated Radeon, but different chips. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561301 Title: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/561301/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thomas Orgis, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed.

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati It is tricky to determine if this issue is the same as one reported in the several bugs about freezes / black screens, so I'm making a new one... I installed a amd64 ubuntu lucid lynx beta1 system on a box with a Foxconn mainboard that features integrated radeon graphics, namely RS690. The system has all current updates as of last saturday. I notice some things, possible related to the final freeze/crash/whatever: 1. Multiple flickering on startup, sortof in intervals of about a second. This includes the plymouth splash screen and the desktop after it appeared (automatic login) for some time. Annoying but not fatal as such, as it seems to stop, generally (maybe reappears once on certain actions, like starting a video player). 2. There is only a VGA connector and there the monitor is connected. The radeon driver complains about bad EDID data for the DVI port, multiple times. Well, there is no physical DVI port. 3. After some undetermined time of usage, the screen suddenty goes black, and I am unable to reach a console. I need to have a second computer to get debugging, I guess. The machine is not frozen, but the screen is gone. This persists with a self-built 2.6.33.2-rt13 kernel (since this is supposed to be an audio workstation) in the same manner, with the linux- rt kernel it was a bit different (for example, I needed to fix the resolution in xorg.conf because with that kernel a wrong one is detected), I did not spend enough time with it to trigger that black screen ... or indeed it does not happen there. - I'll try starting with nomodeset ... then examine if there are still - options like switching back to XAA (that worked in the past for the - buggy intel drivers) ... or resort to VESA. I actually have no time to - debug Xorg issues on that box, but well... do I have a choice? With - another non-ubuntu system (older Xorg at least, kernel version about the - same), this never occured. So it might have to do with the recent enable - of KMS, or acceleration architecture updates. + I'll try starting with nomodeset ... then examine if there are still options like switching back to XAA (that worked in the past for the buggy intel drivers) ... or resort to VESA.

The current ubuntu kernel still flickers around with KMS enabled... the splash screen comes very late and flickers. I didn't wait if a freeze / black screen occurs... need to work now.

To make it clear: You suggest booting the final release ISO of ubuntu (29th of april)? I don't see ISOs of a development release. I cannot promise much in the way of testing things... I am working with the machine only at certain intervals, and then it's usually more important to produce something with it. When I come around to test how a new kernel release works, I'll update the bug report -- in the end, people report that the 2.6.33 I am running now might not be the best for firewire audio. -- [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 561301] Re: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk)
About my mad monitor EDID ... are you talking about the existing LCD connected to VGA or the non-existing DVI? The physical monitor shouldn't be all that bad since it works without pain using an slightly older Xorg (perhaps about a year or so) without KMS. Should really be the hardware to blame? I hope it's possible to have the KMS code fixed up to work like the old code used to work... and also without KMS, Xorg now detects a sub-optimal mode. This might be due to some well-intended improvements, probably. Oh, and a side note: The splash screen business looks rather pointless in the current setup... after the boot manager menu, there is a delay where nothing happens visually and just a cursor on the top left of a black screen is shown... disk starts clattering in the background... at some time, the ubuntu splash screen comes up, but is replaced by the actual desktop very quickly. Same for shutdown ... it takes some moments to kill the desktop... and then the machine is off after very briefly offering a glimpse on the splash screen. So, some stuff is perhaps too fast (the actual work) ... though I am not sure what the delay at the beginning is about (should re-test with stock kernel and initrd... but I think it was the same there). But then... this is off-topic, just on my mind because of the flickering also hurting the perceived smoothness of the bootup. -- [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's quite interesting that disabling KMS makes it work. That suggests there is an error in the EDID handling code in the kernel, at least for this specific gfx card and monitor combination. I don't think we should shut off KMS for this, because I think the issue is particular to your specific graphics card. Issue #1 sounds like X trying to probe for EDID, and getting confused by the non-existence of the phantom DVI port. #3 sounds like it might be a power management issue. Possibly it's unrelated to the above, but my money would be that PM is getting confused by the non-existent DVI port as well. That might need a separate fix, but lets see if it disappears once the phantom DVI issue is sorted. I'm refiling to the kernel since this will need a DVI quirk in the kernel drm code.Since disabling KMS lets you work around the issue, it seems there is not an X task to do here. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled + [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk) -- [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid if KMS enabled (Needs DVI quirk) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 561301] Re: [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid
nomodeset kernel option does nothing (at least on my kernel build), but radeon.modeset=0 does help. Worked an evening on the box with disabled modesetting now and didn't see a freeze/crash. Only the mode detection is suboptimal... I have seen that in comparison to another Linux system I have on that box.. the image looked more crisp, less smearing on the LCD (that also covers the mode set using kernel modesetting). After manually fixing ip some tuned mode with slightly increased refresh rate (not 59.9 but rather 61 Hz or so) this is improved. Main message: DIsabling kernel modesetting for RS690 _seems_ to be a good idea so far. -- [RV690] flicker on startup, dead black screen after some time with lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
