Comment 3 Wang Zhenyu 2008-07-28 00:08:44 UTC
Details on the ADD2 card you use?
Comment 4 WuNian 2008-07-28 19:47:22 UTC
My Add2 card is: WINTEC ZDDVI8SI-A
Comment 5 Michael Fu 2008-07-28 19:56:57 UTC
a quick test, how about if you use another ADD2 card instead? this can help us quickly rule out if there is a HW issue here...thanks.
Comment 6 WuNian 2008-07-28 22:02:04 UTC
We have tested with other ADD2 card, also had this problem.
We used this ADD2 case on our Q965 machine before. So this is a regression.

could be a HW issue,too. here HW mean the motherboard...Can you confirm if this 965 the "Q965" that you said works before?

I used to play the ADD2 card on the "Q965" to test dual head. It always worked.

*** Bug 17240 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 10 Gordon Jin 2008-09-12 21:26:53 UTC
I'm increasing priority, since 2 users (from bug#17240) could confirm this is not hw issue.

sdvo probe debug patch

Please try if this patch restores the normal behavior back.
Comment 12 Hasso Tepper 2008-09-16 01:29:52 UTC
Yes, it does.
Comment 13 Norman Yarvin 2008-09-16 18:32:41 UTC
The patch works for me, too.
Comment 14 Gordon Jin 2008-09-17 20:18:43 UTC

updated patch

Try detect bits before init HDMI
Comment 16 Norman Yarvin 2008-09-18 14:28:57 UTC
The updated patch also works for me.  (I still get the error messages "(EE) intel(0): Unable to write to SDVOCTRL_E for SDVOB Slave 0x70." and "(EE) intel(0): Unable to write to SDVOCTRL_E for SDVOC Slave 0x72."), but they don't cause any loss of functionality.)

force sdvo detect patch

This is the one I'd like to push. Use an option to enable SDVO force detect, as it will cost much in X startup time, so normal user shouldn't be affected by this probe.
Comment 18 Wang Zhenyu 2008-09-27 19:19:14 UTC
Pushed patch. Close.

commit 11d304e99c0e11c28901ec28115d9c8b81a2b9cc
Author: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com>
Date:   Sun Sep 28 10:08:26 2008 +0800

    Bug #16631: add option for SDVO force detect
    
    Some ADD2 card doesn't get SDVO detect status setup right,
    which disabled outputs on those cards. This adds a new
    option "ForceSDVODetect" to probe all SDVO ports anyway.
