What are the symptoms of a modesetting problem? My understanding is that it had to do with modelines: being able to set arbitrary resolutions and refresh rates rather than just the ones wired into the BIOS. The symptoms here look different. 1) not recogunizing the DAC type (may not mattter) 2) not detecting the attached monitor's capabilities Could these relate to mode setting? | > | (II) RADEON(0): Port0: | > | Monitor -- AUTO | > | Connector -- HDMI-B | > |- DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC | > |+ DAC Type -- None | > | TMDS Type -- UNIPHY | > | DDC Type -- 0x7e50 | > | (II) RADEON(0): Output: HDMI-0, Detected Monitor Type: 0 | > |-Dac detection success | > |+invalid output device for dac detection | > This doesn't look good. | > | (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output HDMI-0 | > | (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-0 | > | (II) RADEON(0): Manufacturer: DEL Model: 4016 Serial#: 1194472500 | > I guess that means that my monitor is connected to DVI-0. | > |-Output DIG2 dpms success | > |+Output DIG0 dpms success | > Does this difference mean anything? | > It appears three times for some reason. | > | Set CRTC 0 Source success | > |-(II) RADEON(0): DIG2: Coherent Mode enabled | > |-Output DIG2 setup success | > |+Output DIG1 encoder setup success | > |+(II) RADEON(0): DIG2 transmitter: Coherent Mode enabled | > | Output DIG2 transmitter setup success | > |-Output DIG2 dpms success | > |+Output DIG0 dpms success | > | Enable CRTC memreq 0 success | > This seems confusing.
