If I boot with kms enabled (kerneloption i915.modeset=1) the DVI connected monitor is shown as disconneced which is not true. (devices named from xrandr as VGA1 and DVI1). Also it is not possible to enable the output via xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_x" 135 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +HSync +VSync xrandr --addmode DVI1 1280x1024_x xrandr --output DVI1 --mode 1280x1024_x If I boot with kms disabled (kerneloption i915.modeset=0)i, both connected Displays are correct shown as connected (devices named from xrandr as VGA and TMDS-1) -- chipset: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) -- system architecture: 32-bit -- xf86-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-3 -- xserver: xserver-xorg 1:7.5+5 -- mesa: 7.7-4 -- libdrm: libdrm-intel1 2.4.18-3 -- kernel: 2.6.32 and 2.6.33 -- Linux distribution: Debian sid -- Machine or mobo model: -- Display connector: vga and dvi I also found this: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg763368.html Thanks
This looks like bug#24458. Can you try newer driver (xf86-video-intel) like 2.10 or 2.11?
Will you please try the 2.6.33 kernel and attach the output of dmesg? Please add the boot option of "drm.debug=0x04". Please also attach the output of vbios.dump on this box, which can be obtained by using the following command: >1. echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom 2. cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom >vbios.dump 3. echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/rom Thanks.
Thanks both of you for reply. > This looks like bug#24458. Can you try newer driver (xf86-video-intel) like > 2.10 or 2.11?

Sorry I never give them any attention while I have no problems with both displays running X without kms (use them over a year now). Also I should mention, both displays are connected via one y-cable to one single DVI-plug (AOpen i965GMt-LA). So I will try to exclude bios or hardware issues first. I will give feedback If I'm done. - Is it possible to force the display recognized as connected via the sys file system if kms is enabled? /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/drm/card0/card0-DVI-D-1/* Best

FYI I'm able to use both displays when I disable kms (without touching the connectors) The error described at end of post, may also be helpful. Thanks a lot for interest Best Wulf Also while I do cat: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-DVI-D-1/status I got the following erros: [ 424.211865] [drm:intel_sdvo_debug_write], SDVOB: W: 0B (SDVO_CMD_GET_ATTACHED_DISPLAYS) [ 424.226154] [drm:intel_sdvo_debug_response], SDVOB: R: 01 00 (Success) [ 424.226161] [drm:intel_sdvo_detect], SDVO response 1 0 [ 424.226165] [drm:intel_sdvo_debug_write], SDVOB: W: 7A 02 (SDVO_CMD_SET_CONTROL_BUS_SWITCH) [ 424.336677] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 237 [ 424.338306] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID: [ 424.339922] <3>00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 26 cd ac 46 48 10 00 00 ........&..FH...

just for confirm - is the Y-cable shipped with the motherboard? we've known that Aopen has its own DVI-I connector defintion , and to get EDID, we have to use its own Y-cable. An ordinary Y-cable won't be able to get EDID for both VGA and DVI on this connector. When you disable KMS, would you pls submit an xorg.log with Option ModeDebug True set in the xorg.conf? Using that as a reference would give us hints, too.

But anyhow I tried to by one to make sure this is not causing problems. But unfortunately I did not succeed in germany. http://global.aopen.com/products_detail.aspx?auno=2445 check 50.8EX07.0010 on that side. > When you disable KMS, would you pls submit an xorg.log with Option ModeDebug > True set in the xorg.conf?

Created attachment 35505 [details] Xorg.log with Option ModeDebug True
Sorry for the late response. From the log info in comment #4 it seems that the incorrect EDID is obtained. >[drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID As the EDID is incorrect, it will be regarded as disconnected. Not sure whether this is related with the monitor. Do you have an opportunity to try another monitor and see whether the issue still exists?

Yes, but this will be after 12.05. because I'm not at home now. Is there a possibility to hard set the EDID. P.S. Also with kms disabled I have to correct the monitor settings via xrandr

Created attachment 35683 [details] dmsg with different Monitor > Do you have an opportunity to try another monitor and see whether the issue > still exists? unlike my other monitor there is no comment about EDID in dmsg after I boot with kms enbaled, but the DVI output is still reportet as disconnected. If I run cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/drm/card0/card0-DVI-D-1/status I get the [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID: error, see next attachment for details

Right? Sorry that there is no > interface that can support to override the EDID. Yes, that was my idea. Anyhow if there is any possibility to mark the output as connected it would be fine. I don't care about wrong settings, if I can change them via xrand to the right modeline.
I changed the y-cabel to AOpen Best. Nr: 50.8EX07.0010 (wich is not available in Germany so I have to import it from us - regarding to AOpen-support there is nothing special with this y-cable, but I'm not sure about that) AND I replaced the motherbord (AOpen i965GMt-LA) and now I have no problems with kms, also the modelines are auto detected correct. The new cable with the old motherboard didn't work, while the new motherboard also doesn't work in combination with the old cable. Looks like lice in combination with fleas ... Thanks a lot for your support.
