Note that if you do what I said instead of using git snapshots, you get a stable kernel on every other component except DRM. That makes imo quite a bit more sense than using using just-pulled-into-Linus'-tree for everything.

Open source "Radeon" driver: vsync, vblank_mode, tearing and (open)GL

1. I use an R300 Ati card. I was under the impression that that one's driver (= radeon) is quite different from the R600 one (= radeonhd). But maybe your tips do work on mine.
2. Am I right that (at the time of writing) no Linux distribution what so ever on the whole wide world comes with a 2.6.35+ kernel? And that I must compile one myself from source? Not that I'd mind but I'm surprised nobody else is having tis prob...
3. I do not use DVI for TV out, I use the S-video (= SVHS) out. I don't think that makes a lot of difference , but I thought I'd mention it.
Anyway, do you think that the extra options that I lost after switching to KMS mode will appear again after booting w/ a supernew kernel?

Originally posted by Meneer Jansen View PostNope. Seems there are some more quirks to this. Now I can't overscan anymore. The picture does not cover the whole TV screen anymore. That is: without KMS the output of the command "xrandr --prop" is:
Code:S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) tv_standard: pal tv_vertical_position: 0 (0x00000000) range: (-5,5) tv_horizontal_position: 0 (0x00000000) range: (-5,5) tv_horizontal_size: 0 (0x00000000) range: (-5,5) load_detection: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,1)
How can I fix this and what's the matter w/ xrandr if KMS is activated?

(The Ubuntu 2.6.35.1 precompiled kernel was released today and I upgraded to that one. But, no success yet of course.)

P.S. Some of those 2.6.35 kernels make my PC "hang" a couple of minuted after booting. Known bug? Don't have those probs w/ the 2.6.32 Ubuntu Lucid kernel.
