Bug#785448: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Screen is badly tinged with green when using the open source driver

It might be HDMI packet related. Does your display support audio? You can disable HDMI packets by setting radeon.audio=0 on the kernel command line in grub or at runtime using xrandr (e.g., xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio off). If that helps, can you try kernel 4.1?

The tinge is not present: * In the BIOS * When GRUB is active * Early in the boot process when the kernel is still printing text * On a separate Debian install on the same hardware, using fglrx I tried changing the gamma settings of the screen and poking at the backlight settings but this did not help. Changing the gamma made a very slight difference but the tinge does nto seem to be caused by a rogue gamma setting. At some points during, eg, shutdown my screens go blank - usually this is black but at present the green tinged screen goes straight green. It sounds like there might be a problem with the physical display connection. Have you checked the connector seating at both ends, maybe unplugging and re-plugging them, or even using a different cable? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

I have not, but if I reboot the computer to an install of Jessie using fglrx the tinge is not present; and it appeared shortly after updating to Jessie + unstable. I'll try a few things with the cable report back if any of them have an impact, but the fglrx test suggests this problem is 100% fixable in software.

I agree it's probably a software bug then, though it's more likely in the kernel driver than in the Xorg driver. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

No worries. It turns out that the problem was the Color Format of my screen. Dunno what that is, but it was configuring poorly and the open source driver seems happier when it is set to RGB rather than YCbCr. Maybe Catalyst is a bit more forgiving or maybe there is some configuration issue here I don't understand. My problem is solved; there may still be a minor bug here in how the auto-configuration of the driver works.

[Bug 90474] Existing xorg.conf file stopped working after Xorg upgrade

It looks like your xorg.conf stopped working for some reason most likely outside of the driver, so I'm reassigning this report to the X server for now. But I really recommend running without xorg.conf if possible. If you need to customize something, it's probably better to start writing a minimal xorg.conf from scratch for that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
[Bug 90474] ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2700 seems no more supported
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90474 --- Comment #4 from Elmar Stellnberger estel...@elstel.org --- Yes, it works without xorg.conf and without non-oss firmware. However no more with 1920x1200/24 bit; just with 1600x1200 which is considerably lower. With the proprietary firmware there are other problems (see: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2015/05/msg00208.html). The old X-Server; well that one was from Debian oldstable, very likely xserver-xorg (1:7.7+3~deb7u1) (I can not tell with 100,00% certainity because I have already overwritten my old installation and my old installation media.). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
