[RV560] ColorTiling does not work. Any acceleration locks up. X1650

[Konstantin Bukharov]

ubuntu-bug does not work, even logging from neighbor box with xserver-xorg-video-intel...
On the node in question, Driver "ati" in xorg.conf produces chessboard like garbage on the screen.
Caps/num/screen lock leds are not functional on the keyboard.
Unlike radeonhd (total system lockup), remote sessions work.

Xorg.0.log is attached.
xorg.conf is generic with device
        Driver "ati"
option.

radeontool regmatch '*' causes hardware lockup :-(
On-screen output is attached.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Can you please try with
 Option "DRI" "off"
in the Device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

Sure, It does not change behavior.
Now:
# apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-ati

xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log and screen snapshot are attached.

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

And finally config file.

Note, that 'radeonhd' driver produce full lockup - I'm even unable to got Xorg.0.log from them.
# apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd:

So the only working - 'vesa' with limited resolution and no acceleration :-(

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

Exactly the same for 6.12:

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

Driver "radeon" and
Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"

produces black screen with live mouse pointer...
But cursor animation was stopped after a while...
No gdm image either....
Keyboard looks dead :-(

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

Driver "radeon"
Option "NoAccel" "true"

Produces live console! I'm able to login into gdm finally.
But the picture still looks chess-board like :-(
Snapshot attached.
Xorg.0.log will follow....

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

Xorg.0.log with "NoAccel" "true"

will forward to <email address hidden> as requested:

[ 0.516609] (WW) RADEON(0): R500 support is under development. Please report any issues to <email address hidden>

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

You can also file a bug on bugs.freedesktop.org instead of posting directly to the list.

[Konstantin Bukharov (kbukharov)]

Option "ColorTiling" "off"
Option "NoAccel" "true"

provides working X-Windows, but sure, w/o acceleration :-(

Option "ColorTiling" "off"
#Option "NoAccel" "true"

still console lockup, but garbage is not 'chessboard' like anymore....

So, the reason for 'chessboard' garbage - ColorTiling does not work for RV560
Have to figure out lockup reason...

[This is an automatic notification.]

A new version of the -ati driver is now available in Karmic.

This is a significant update to -ati which brings in kernel mode-setting
(currently disabled) and scores of fixes for DRI2, EXA, etc.

I've posted the new version of this driver to the following PPA,
would you mind testing it and seeing if it resolves the bug you
reported?

  https://edge.launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/709908/+listing-archive-extra

If you're not running this release of Ubuntu, you can try booting the Karmic
LiveCD and loading the PPA onto it, and then log out/in to restart X.
ISOs are available at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/

After testing Karmic, report back here whether it's still an issue or not,
and if it is please post a fresh Xorg.0.log and 'dmesg' output.

Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug xorg'.
