           Summary: No DVI output and invisible XVideo on Asus Radeon 9200SE
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ats-fd at offog.org


I've just bought an Asus-branded Radeon 9200SE 128MiB RGB+DVI card;
manufacturer's code A9200SE/TD/P/128M/A, part number 90-C1VBG6-GUAY1Z, serial
number 47CM1I3257, which I'm using with a Dell 2001FP LCD monitor. I'm having
some trouble getting it to work with the Xorg X server (using the "radeon"
driver) on my Duron-based PC running Linux 2.6.8.1 with the radeon DRM module
(the one that came with Linux 2.6.8.1) built in.

I've tried both the Xorg 6.7.0 release and the CVS tag XORG-6_7_99_902; both
behave the same way. The logs below are from the CVS version.

The first problem is that DVI output doesn't work at all in X: while I can view
the text-mode console fine through the monitor's DVI input, once I start X the
screen goes blank and switches off (indicating no input). RGB output, however,
works beautifully in both text mode and X; the picture quality's very nice. I've
tried starting X with the RGB cable disconnected; I've tried rebooting the
machine with the RGB cable disconnected; I've tried various values for the
"MonitorLayout" option. Nothing seems to produce a picture on the DVI output.

The second problem is that XVideo overlays don't appear to be visible. (I'm
using MPlayer and VLC to test this.) The player appears to be playing correctly,
but rather than the video I just get a plain dark blue window. Since I can only
use the RGB output at the moment, I guessed that it might be sending the scaler
output to the wrong CRTC, so I tried the "OverlayOnCRTC2" option, but it didn't
make a difference.

(Using OpenGL output in MPlayer works, but it's too slow for comfortable
viewing; in general, OpenGL stuff works, but it seems much slower than my old
Matrox G400 was. I haven't experimented with this very much, but I thought it
might be worth mentioning...)

I'll attach the output of "lspci -v", my xorg.conf, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log from
two different test runs: the first being the first time I start Xorg after a
cold boot with just the DVI cable attached, and the second being when I start it
again after connecting the RGB cable too.

If there's anything you'd like me to try, or any more information you'd like me
to provide, please get in touch. Thanks!
