You should be able to force the output on with xrandr via your xorg config file. Add a monitor section section for your hdmi monitor called "HDMI-0", the set Option "Enable" "True" and specify the sync ranges and preferred mode. e.g., (replace the sync ranges and preferred mode as per your desired config): Section "Monitor" Identifier "HDMI-0" HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 56-76 Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00" EndSection ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Tomasz Chmielewski wrote: >> You can force outputs on in your xorg.conf I "solved it" by connecting HDMI cable to a HDMI-DVI converter, and connecting that converter to the video card. And I used a fglrx driver, too. I'm not sure if these cards are "too new" for X to handle: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] 02:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] 03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] But I had the following problems with free drivers (at least when both cards are in slots, for a multiseat station): - with "radeon" driver, machine is hard freezing whenever I exit X (not even a kernel panic, just a total freeze) - with "radeonhd", it didn't freeze, but I couldn't use both cards at a time - the driver was complaining that it couldn't find BIOS for the second card; also, I had some image corruption in KDE 4.3. But coming back to the HDMI problem, it was not detected by fglrx driver as well. I think the problem is here that I use a HDMI extender (LevelOne HVE-9001, over cat. 5e cable), which does not seem to follow HDMI specs fully. What's interesting, if I start X with HDMI cable connected to the monitor directly, and then changed to HDMI extender, I could still see the video correctly. That's why I thought "forcing" HDMI output would help here (fglrx has such an option, but it can't use it when randr is used, go figure). That's on a DX58SO Intel board with the latest BIOS updates. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

HDMI is not detected, although it's connected.

Is there a way to force-enable HDMI with radeon driver? I see in the manual that there is such an option for "radeonhd", but not for "radeon" driver. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

does "radeon" driver support HDMI video?
Does "radeon" driver support HDMI video? It's not very clear for me after studying the manual and http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon. Or should I rather use "radeonhd" driver? Sound support would be also nice.
