           Summary: KMS on Thinkpad W500: no picture on external monitors
                    with DisplayPort, but DVI works.
           Product: DRI
           Version: XOrg CVS
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/Radeon
        AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: andreas.wallberg@gmail.com


Hi all!

I have troubles connecting my Thinkpad W500 running Arch Linux 64-bit to
external monitors via DisplayPort (DP) while using Kernel Mode Setting (KMS)
and a recent kernel (3.0.4). KMS + DP appears to be broken. The laptop has a
ATI Radeon HD 3650 chip.

I have tried two monitors: the HP ZR22w and the Eizo EV2333W.

HP ZR22w
========

When KMS+DP is used on boot, I get this error message on the HP ZR22w:

    Input signal Out of Range
    Change Settings to 1920 x 1080 - 60Hz


Inside X11, I am unable to get the screen going when KMS+DP is used. xrandr
reports the screen being connected and that 1920x1080 is being sent to it. I
still have the same error message.

If I turn off KMS, the monitor works just fine with DP and X11 and xrandr do
their jobs but I obviously lose all the niceties with KMS.

If I use a DP->DVI adaptor and instead use the DVI connector on the monitor,
KMS works just fine.

However, using the 2.6.35 kernel in Fedora 14, KMS + DP works just fine.

Eizo EV2333W
============

The same behavior as reported for the HP is true on the Eizo EV2333W monitor,
but the latter provides more informative dialogs.

Using the old Fedora 2.6.35 kernel and KMS+DP, the monitor shows this info
about the video signal on the Information dialog:

DisplayPort
1920x1080
fH: 76.5kHz
fV: 59.9Hz

Using a 3.0.4 kernel in Arch and KMS+DP, the monitor shows:

Signal Error
DisplayPort
fD: 111.1MHz
fH: 50.5kHz
fV: 44.8Hz

The "44.8" on the last line is read so there is obviously something wrong with
the signal here.

My guess is that the EDID handling is broken somehow on DP. I have tried adding
various video= switches in grub to force the resolution but I am not really
sure how apply them to the DisplayPort (unable to find any documentation on
this) or whether it matters since the problem seems to be that the kernel is
unaware it sends an incorrect video signal to the monitor.

The only reference I have found to this monitor and KMS is this one, but I am
not sure what to make of it:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg13061.html

I would much appreciate any pointers! What logs and config files would you like
to follow up on this?

Any chance you could bisect, or at least isolate the major kernel version where
the problem was introduced?

Please attach the dmesg output, preferably from working and broken cases.

Hi,

I have the same issue on W500 and radeon hd3650 (or firegl v5700) RV635/M86
chip with dell u2412m monitor. Monitor complains that it cannot sync with
signal from DP.
I was able to do a bisect of vanilla kernel, and this problem was introduced
here:

So it's probably related to spread spectrum handling on displayport, which was
introduced in that commit. I've done some tinkering with current kernel 3.12.6,
and a simple change (this probably disables spread spectrum on DP) made my DP
monitor work:

Ooops, sorry the patch was made with incorrect order of arguments, and it
turned out to be reversed. So add -R in mind when reading:)

Oh, I don't know if this is useful but the monitor works in lowest resolution -
720x400 without any changes to current kernel.

Does it work if you specify ATOM_DP_SS_ID2 rather than ATOM_DP_SS_ID1 in the
problematic case?  What modes are you trying to use?

I've done some testing, and vanilla kernel works only with 720x400. With
ATOM_DP_SS_ID2, as you suggested, some modes work, some don't:
DisplayPort-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 518mm x 324mm
   1920x1200      60.0 + <-ok
   1920x1080      60.0   <-ok
   1600x1200      60.0   <-ok
   1680x1050      60.0*  <-ok
   1280x1024      60.0   <-can't sync
   1280x960       60.0   <-can't sync
   1024x768       60.0   <-ok
   800x600        60.3   <-can't sync
   640x480        60.0   <-can't sync
   720x400        70.1   <-ok

It's the same with my crude fix.

Does disabling SS altogether help?  Try the attached patch.
