I sincerely hope that you will add said xrandr functionality to the kernel. If you write a patch, can I add that to any kernel source w/ the old command:
Code:patch -p0 < patch-file-name-here
Or have the xrandr options like:- tv_vertical_position
- tv_horizontal_position
- tv_horizontal_size
been added already to the kernel the last few weeks? With those options it's possible to overscan.

You're not the only one for whom 2.6.35 kernels are "hanging".
Originally posted by Meneer Jansen View PostP.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.
2.6.34 kernels seem unaffected by this when using the identical userspace, and my Mesa-Gallium and xorg-drv-ati are both from git.
I'm suspecting the vsync code, because that does seem to be the Big Difference between .34 and .35 apart from the memory changes. And my card only has 256M of VRAM on board anyway. (It uses 256M of VRAM under .34 too.)

However. I'd like the following xrandr options:- tv_vertical_position
- tv_horizontal_position
- tv_horizontal_size
to be included first of all...

Then we must be seeing different problems

So Evergreen cards work perfect now with the FOSS driver?
You can use any distro, any kernel or any X.org version with perfect video now?
It's almost a year since the release of the HD 5xxx series. So, there shouldn't be tearing and you should be able to use vsync and xv video output now? So, no black screens or tearing?
For e.g., if you were to try:
1) Fedora 13 - kernel 2.6.33, X.org 1.8 (*'wonder how Rawhide/14 would fare!)
2) Ubuntu 10.10 - kernel 2.6.35, X.org 1.9
3) OpenSUSE 11.3 - kernel 2.6.34, X.org 1.8
*X.org - Xorg-XServer
Anyone try any of those?: what were your findings?
I am assuming that the HD 5xxx cards work in those or at least two of them... the released ones... no video playback issues by now

When I do not use KMS to load the driver(s) then I can those options are available to me. When will this be fixed?
P.S. I use Ati RV350.
