Hi Intel GFX and experts,<br>
<br>
Anybody out there tried VGA over SDVO (a chrontel 7317A)? We have this
arrangement on of the boards we manufacture but we're getting no
picture out of the monitor. Bugzilla bug 15766
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15766">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15766</a>) is logged against
this. We're using GM965 mobile embedded chipset but the board is not a
lap-top and can support two DVI, two VGA or VGA+DVI (using various
different build configurations). We have a customer who needs 2xVGA
and has an earlier solution with this capability.<br>
<br>
Briefly:<br>
PipeA -> VGA -> ViewSonic 1940w monitor (picture is fine)<br>
PipeB -> SDVO-B -> Chrontel 7317A -> Dell FP193c (no picture).<br>
OS is Ubuntu 8.04 (i386) + X.org 1.4.0.99 and Intel driver 2.3.1
(manually compiled). Same results with other combinations including
Ubuntu 7.10, Fedora Core 7, X.org v1.3.0.0 and Intel_drv.so v2.1.1
through v2.2.1.<br>
<br>
Interesting thing about the SDVO-VGA monitor situation is that VGA sync
and colour signals from the monitor are consistent with the picture
being sent (e.g. if I use xsetroot -solid); the monitor also things
something is happening because the power LED goes from amber to
green. Normally I'd think it'd left power saving mode but if I press
the monitor menu button then the monitor pops up a message saying it IS
in power saving mode and the LED then goes amber. This happens if I
swap the monitors around or use other ones - the result is always the
same.<br>
<br>
If I leave X for the text console then a picture does appear on the
second monitor (a clone of the text mode image on the main VGA
channel). I return to X and the picture disappears (screen goes blank)
but LED is green again.<br>
<br>
I am running out of ideas on this, particularly since I am no expert on
this kind of thing. Can anyone suggest anything I can try. I am able
to compile and configure a working Intel driver. Xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log
files can be found in the bugzilla entry for this issue (see above).<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
