    64-bit, RadeonHD, an HDTV and a 4850 = no worky?

    I recently tried out openSUSE (11.1, 64-bit) and found that the Live CDs gave me no display. I could install from the DVD but got a blank screen when it got to a point where I'd normally see the login screen. Starting with "x11failsafe" allowed me to get it working and from there I could install fglrx and got the display working.

    For various reasons I decided to hop back to Ubuntu. 8.10 works fine, haven't had any issues there, but I thought to try out the 9.04 alpha 2 that's currently available. I'm guessing this also uses RadeonHD by default because the behavior was exactly the same.

    I use an HDTV as my monitor - the same model Toshiba recently reviewed on Phoronix - and have it connected via DVI->HDMI cable to a Palit Sonic Radeon 4850. Is this expected behavior of the driver in its current state or should I at least have a functioning display?

    Do you know which version of the driver was being loaded each time (it would be near the front of the xorg log). I haven't heard of any recent 64-bit-specific problems but maybe something slipped in. If you could pastebin one or both X logs that would be a big help.

      1.2.3, as far as I know. That's the version in the Ubuntu Jaunty repository, at least.

      I'll see if I can get the X log off of the system. I put Ubuntu 8.10 back on it for now, but booting a SUSE Live CD ought to provide something useful. I'll test it out tomorrow and post back here.

        Apologies for the extra time this reply required. Booting with a SUSE Live CD, much to my dismay, didn't allow me access to a terminal with CTRL-ALT-F3 -not sure why- so I had to do a clean install of OpenSUSE 11.1 to get to it.

        The first time I booted the system wouldn't display the login screen, as previously described. So I restarted and added "x11failsafe" to the otherwise normal boot line.

        I can't post the whole xorg log file, says the post is too long. Hmm.

        Here are some excerpts that may be relevant. The first one shows that it isn't familiar with my particular board, which may be part of the problem?

          Any ideas? I saw the line in the first excerpt about contacting the developers with the card's PCI ID, so I can do that if needed.

          How can I post the whole log? Or would it be better to e-mail that to the dev address if needed?

              Can you pastebin the entire log ? There isn't enough info there to see what is going on.

                  Thanks. Looks like the driver is starting up normally and setting to 1280x1024 resolution. The only obvious possible issues I saw was that the output is being set to incoherent (coherent / non-coherent is a timing tweak between the clock and data lines going to the display), I think this default was changed recently;

                  I would try the coherent/non-coherent option first then send an email to the radeonhd mailing list including your pastebin'ed log.

                  According to the man page I think you want to add :

                  Option Coherent "UNIPHY_A=off"

                  ... to your config file.

                    Alright, I'll give that a try tonight and see what happens. If it works (or even if it doesn't) I'll post results here and send something to the mailing list as well.

                    Thanks!
