Originally filed as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492399

When using DVI (to a Dell 2005FPW), it fails to set up the mode correctly. The
screen briefly appears, wobbles, and then blinks on and off.

VGA connection works fine.

Relevant dmesg:

If the computer is booted with this (and only this) screen attached, does it
work with the "nv" x driver?  Failing that, does it work with the proprietary
"nvidia" linux driver?

Sorry, also, if you start X with nouveau and it does this blinking thing, if
you then close X and do startx again, does it work any better the second time
around?

Further restarts with nouveau do not help; neither does starting novueau after
starting successfully once with nv.

Here's the X log with 'nv' used as the driver, if it helps.

Ok.  As it works with nv should should be reasonably easy to fix.  Could you
make and attach comparative register dumps please:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~stuart/radeontool; cd radeontool; make

then from an xterm while using the nv driver do "./radeontool regs > regs-nv",
then from an xterm while using the nouveau driver do "./radeontool regs >
regs-nouveau" (or if the blinking makes this impractical, running the dump
command over ssh is fine so long as X is running at the time).

Thanks.  Two initial things to try (see if it stops the blinking):
1) when nouveau is running, do "./radeontool regset 0x680848 0x11100110"
2) when nouveau is running, do "./radeontool regset C0:33 0x9"

if these don't help, does the blinking stop if you close X and go back to the
terminal?  Does "nv" still work successfully following nouveau having been
used?

Neither appears to help.

80x25 text mode is fine (either with VT switch, or after X exists.)

Yes.

Attempting to describe more, since 'blinking' is a bit of a shorthand:

- The display starts (mouse cursor on black). The cursor wobbles a bit (out of
sync?), and there are some minor display artifiacts.
- The display flashes on and off a couple of times (when it's on, it's still
wobbling with slight artifacts)
- The 'on' flashes decrease in frequency, to a point after about 30 seconds
where the display's just blank.

Well that narrows it down thankfully, but sadly those two registers were the
obvious candidates, so there's going to be some more investigation required.

0) an Xorg.0.log of nouveau *including* X shut-down (or a switch to VT
actually) would help.  If there's any line containing "Parsing digital output
script table" that has a different number than 0xB555, attach a copy of your
video bios ( http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/DumpingVideoBios -- the "dd"
method should suffice)

1) I now see you reported against
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-10.20090310git8f9a580.fc11.i586.  While it probably
won't fix anything, could you use
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-21.20090403git11be9a9.fc11 (or even
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau), so at least the code
I'm looking at is relevant to the symptoms? :)

2) try putting `Option "randr12" "off"' in the Device section of your xorg.conf
-- this makes nouveau use almost the same code as nv for bringing up displays,
so if this doesn't work there's something subtle going on.

3) there's a few other relevant regs that "radeontool regs" doesn't dump;
please do "./radeontool regmatch REGISTER" under nv and nouveau for REGISTER
being: 0x00600804 0x00602804 0x00680608 0x00682608 0x00680630 0x00682630
0x00680634 and 0x00682634 .  For any of these where there's a difference
between the drivers, you could try regset using the "nv" value like before,
when running nouveau, and see if things get fixed.

4) assuming 1 & 3 don't fix it, and 2 works as expected, the next step is
trying to eliminate most of the differences comparing the reg dumps;  would you
prefer a patch to nouveau that does this (with later patches to bisect down to
find which reg/regs need attention), or are you happy doing radeontool regset
for 15-20 regs if I give you a list?

It's been upgraded as time goes on - it's running

Yes, that fixes it.

Sure, I can poke random values in.
