Re: VGA out/External Monitor on ibook 2

quoted

Someone lately posted a message detailing the problem (either here or on
debian-powerpc): the hsync and vsync pulses appear to be OK (correct
frequency) but have a phase jitter.

Unless somebody else posted it too, that would be me. And I now realise
that it was based on your suggestion (on debian-powerpc) a year back!

Possible - I've suggested someone take a scope and debug this more than
once :-)

Owen asked: How was it using OFFB? The phase is steady with the OFFB.

Does that ring a bell with anyone
here? Does anyone know which PLL setting the hsync position is derived
from?

Is it possible that the lcd and crt *have to be* on different
controllers? From what I understand,  OF and OSX set it up that way but we

Yep, that's entirely possible. Maybe we can't get the proper specs for
both on one controller.

don't. As I have no documentation, this is just  a conjecture.
Still I would like to do just that. But I am constrained by the lack of
documentation. Pointers anybody? Maybe people who desire a dual-head would
like to help :)

I'd talk to Michel Dänzer about this. The XFree people might have figured
something out on other (i386) architectures. XFree developers have access
to at least some ATI docs.
