The kernel module is compied from the original ATI radeon driver "ati-driver-installer-9-10-x86.x86_64.run". I found people with the same problem on Ubuntu. So I think this isn't a kernel or distribution problem instead of a driver.

Short version: How do you tell the fglrx 8.65 driver to enforce given horizontal and (more importantly) vertical frequencies on a monitor without DDC/EDID information?

Long version:
Recently I bought a new system with an AMD 785G chipset with integrated graphics. I installed the newest fglrx drivers for my distribution (Ubuntu 8.10), which happens to be the fglrx 8.65 version. I had to do this since the old drivers did not support the HD 4200 graphics core.

However, I still have a somewhat old CRT monitor which seems to not support DDC/EDID information. Actually it's not that old -- an 21" Dell P1130, year 2002 or something -- so I guess it should actually support EDID, but I never managed to get it working.

And I never had to bother too much about that, because on all my previous cards, I just had to tell X.org the refresh rate I want to use, with something like

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Dell P1130"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-130
VertRefresh 50-160
EndSection

in the xorg.conf file. These are the specs of my monitor according to its datasheet, and they have always worked correctly, giving me an 85 Hz refresh rate at 1600x1200, which is the maximum the monitor supports at that resolution.

However, the new fglrx driver seems to completely ignore these settings, relying completely on the EDID information. Since there is no EDID data, the driver falls back to a "failsafe" 60 Hz default. This should be OK for an increasing number of users, since all new monitors support EDID, but there are still a lot of users like me using CRT monitors, who are extremely unhappy with a 60 Hz refresh rate.

So does anyone know how I could force the driver to use a specific refresh rate?

Thanks for any advices!

we are considering to buy a system with an AMD Opteron 2384 processor. We want to conduct some experiments with dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS).

It seems the chips supports DVFS per core, so one core can be running at frequency X and the other core can do it at frequency Y. However, we are not sure how to access all the actuators to change frequency/voltage.

Is cpufreq from Linux kernel supporting this? I could only find support for K8 microarchitectures and a patch to read the temperatures for K10 microarchitecture (e.g., Opteron 2384). However, we are not sure whether is it possible to perform DVFS for K10 microarchitecture using cpufreq.

Does anyone know anything about this? Any plans to support K10 in cpufreq?

games now play awesomely. i can now play games that simply do not work with the open source drivers. sadly not everything worked out as well

1.) xv seems broken with my card. i have done allot of tests and tweaking in xorg.conf, but i get the same or worse results. here are two different umbrella symptoms that i get with every thing i have tried:

with default settings:
videos play only as black screens. moving the video player around the screen or changing between fullscreen and window will show one incomplete frame of video and then turn back again. the "test" button gstreamer-properties shows the test window (gargled, colors are off) for a second then disappears with the button to stop the test still there and waiting.

settings from http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6794 and similar configs:
loading any video in any player restarts x(like pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). i dont know how to backtrace the error, sorry. gstreamer-properties either shows a garbled screen(stays visable) or crashes x like the video players do.

fglrxinfo

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9700 PRO
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8494 Release

both xdpyinfo and xvinfo seem to be showing everything it should. i can give the results if helpful.

i dont know if it is related, but AIGLX shows many warnings like this:

(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0xXX

even when it is disabled.

2.) the next issue is with resolution. i set custom resolutions with aticonfig, and fglrx seems to ignore them, using the settings it got from probing the monitor. there doesnt seem to be many options for tweaking, so im stuck.

3.) lastly, as you can see from the xorg logs below, the tv-out portion of my card is still not supported, though i could care less about it at this point in time. here is the lshw:

Using EIDE/PATA DVD drive:

Originally (when built), I had an EIDE/PATA DVD drive. Slackware 12.0 DVDs (I have 2 identical) booted without BIOS changes, saw the drives, and partitioned the drives. When beginning install, Slackware could not read off the DVDs and said they were corrupt. They are not -- DVDs are known good and install on many other computers.

For kicks, I tried various Linux CDs I have, including Sabayon + multiple Knoppixes (which I'm not interested in installing), some 2.6 kernel, some 2.4, but all had the same problem, or would not see the hard drives at all. I was too busy to troubleshoot this anymore after the first 2 weeks and gave up for a while.

Using SATA DVD drive:

I installed a SATA DVD drive. Slackware 12.0 had the same problem as before. I tried every combination of BIOS setting possible for peripheral devices (even ones that I knew would not boot the Windows I already have installed) -- nothing works. It only saw the drives once (would partition but wouldn't install). It will not see the drives now regardless of BIOS settings. I know I tried every possible combination multiple times because I wrote them down.

The motherboard manual recommends SATA optical drives be plugged into the 5th or 6th slot (it is in the 5th, 04), and that "SATA Port 4/5 Type" be set to IDE. Currently it is, but again, I tried every possible combo.

Summary

The only thing FDISK can see is (with right BIOS settings), ironically, the DVD drive! (It recognizes it both as "/dev/sdc" and "/dev/hdc".)

There are not seperate Slackware ISOs for x86 and x64, so am I correct to assume the 12.0 Install DVD supports both?

Does anyone know what I need to do to get Slackware to install? I strongly prefer Slackware -- it's designed very no-nonsense, and the install prompting mode options are superior.

I've read here several people have better luck with Ubuntu. I would rather install Slackware, if I can. Has anyone seen improvement with 12.1 or 12.2? Or strongly recommend another distro if not?

CPU: AMD Turion X2 Ultra (ZM-84)
System: Mandriva 2009,Fedora 10, OpenSuSE 11.1, Ubuntu 8.10 (tried all those)

Any of those system do not boot - neither in Live mode nor Install mode

Tried Fedora 10 with acpi=ht option on boot (similar to acpi=off)
System starts, BUT: no battery (despite it is present), no control over CPU frequency, CPU works on max. frequency and laptop heats enermously.
I guess problem is caused by ACPI.

Please help to overcome this problem.
All those distribution use kernel 2.6.27.x (different variants of it)

I need fast fix - as I got used to work from Linux, and have to write those message from Windows.
In case there is no immediate fix available to any of those distributions: are there any distros available which would work with ACPI with AMD Turion X2 Ultra (ZM-84) processor (AMD Puma platform)? Gentoo, Slack, any other?

I have enough disk space on new laptop (320GB HDD) to intall one (or few) more distributions.

Thanks a lot for your help!]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=310&threadid=104312 2008-12-06T21:37:59 -05.00 cwhittington 1 I tried following tutorials for updating it, but the CCC version 8.11 is not stable, so im using CCC 8.10.

Im using the ATI Radeon HD 3650 on Windows Vista 32bit.

It tells me to go under the Display Options and select the 'Force TV Detection' if it wont automatically detect your tv when you select 'Detect Displays', however there is no option to force TV Detection.
"Note: This option is not available if the installed graphics card does not support TV Out." is on the tutorial and I was thinking maybe my card is not smart enough to know that it has a TV out...

I just bought a 42" Sanyo LCD HDTV 1080p and I figured it would detect that, but Ive still got nothing.

Updated CCC and proper S-Video cabling that im using, it wont pick it up at all.

Any ideas on other ways to force TV detection or for it to pick up my TV at all?]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=310&threadid=104059 2008-12-02T04:31:17 -05.00 lyrics 6 http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=310&threadid=103938 2008-11-29T12:26:57 -05.00 lingarajks 2 I am facina a problem of installaion on Fedora.
