Problem with Radeon flat panel support

From: Gregorio Gervasio Jr. <hidden>
Date: 2002-01-22 08:54:37

        I have a Samsung flat panel connected to the DVI port of a
Radeon Mac Edition (PCI version).  The system is a PowerWave/120 which
boots Linux using BootX.  The flat panel worked fine (only) at
1280x1024@60 using 2.4.15-pre6-ben0 but not with 2.4.18-pre3-ben0.
The difference seems to be that the new radeonfb now tries to program
the flat panel registers whereas the old one preserved most of the
registers (which presumably MacOS has initialized).  As far as I can
tell, the register values are:

                      initial   2.4.15-pre6  2.4.18-pre3
                                  (works)       (fails)

----------------------------------------------------------

With debug enabled, the messages from radeonfb during boot seem okay:

radeonfb_pci_register BEGIN

Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64
radeonfb: ATI Radeon QD  DDR SGRAM 32 MB
radeonfb: CRT port DFP monitor connected
radeonfb_pci_register END


Any ideas on what may be going wrong?

For now, I can get the old behavior if I fool radeonfb into thinking
that the monitor is a regular CRT instead of a flat panel (thus
skipping all the FP-specific code).

Gregorio,

Look in radeon_get_pllinfo() and see the code which calculates the
ref_div, and hard code that to 67.  It seems you are getting 12 for that
calculated value, which is wrong (I've never seen any 1st generation
mac radeon (AGP or PCI) with a ref_clock of that value).  Try that and
lemme know if that fixes anything.

Other then that, all the other debug info seems correct.  You may want to
try 2.4.18-pre5 (when it comes out) or when 2.4.18 when its finished as
I've updated the driver recently w/ regards to flat panel.

        I just tried that and it still doesn't work.  For what it's
worth, the debug messages now say:

radeonfb_pci_register BEGIN
PCI: Enabling device 00:0d.0 (0086 -> 0087)
radeonfb: ref_clk=2700, ref_div=67, xclk=16615 from OF

v_total_disp = 0x3ff0429^I   vsync_strt_wid = 0x30400
post div = 0x2
fb_div = 0x218
ppll_div_3 = 0x10218
ron = 1792, roff = 22064
vclk_freq = 10800, per = 788

        Okay, I will watch for it.  Thanks.
