I had to delete all my modelines in xorg.conf aswell as horisynz and vertrefresh or whatever it's called to get this rel to work properly. (We'll it's not actually working 100%, I now get black lines on the sides of my lcd, and can't get the picture to cover the whole screen but that's propably easily fixable if i look into it...)

I have the same trouble with i810 driver. I guess this is a bug in another package. (libc???)
Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Monday, 03 September 2007, 11:09 GMT
I have to confirm this. I have an ATI Radeon 9700 mobile (M10/M11) and I get a black screen with the testing driver. I really tried everything with the configuration but nothing helped. It worked with vesa, though, and ATM I'm using the [current] package with no problem whatsoever.
Comment by kongokris 2 (nut543) - Thursday, 06 September 2007, 14:23 GMT
just going to say that i just had to reset my monitor to get rid of "the black lines" so it wasn't really an error in the first place.
Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Thursday, 06 September 2007, 16:17 GMT
I just took some tests, the latest version that works for me is 6.6.193, no luck with later versions. I'm attaching the 6.7.192 log, if needed I can add the ones of 6.6.193 and 6.3.3 (current). I'm not posting my xorg.conf since I'm 99% positive it isn't involved.

Anyway my xorg doesn't crash, I just get a black screen and I have to kill it, so I'm not sure it is the same problem. One thing I noticed to be present in the 6.7.192 log and not in the others (including the one attached to this bug) is two (sometimes three) "(WW) RADEON(0): DDC2/I2C is not properly initialized", I think it could be the cause/a consequence of my problem.

2 things to try:

1. put Option "IgnoreEDID" "True" in monitor section
2. revise the monitor section, it's possible the problem lays there(this is my entry, though vertrefresh and horizsync might be wise to put in there...):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

you might also want to checkout your screen section or weird ati specific options.

ofcourse if you don't want to check your xorg.conf...

(PS: You could also wait a day or two for the new ati drivers and see if they work..! ;))
Comment by kongokris 2 (nut543) - Thursday, 06 September 2007, 17:09 GMT
btw IgnoreEDID shoould be the same as the noDDC option as 'i've read on the internet' 'IROI' ;) :D
Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Thursday, 06 September 2007, 18:44 GMT
Sadly I already tried IgnoreEDID, NoDDC, DDCMode, ReverseDDC, LVDSProbePLL and others. That's why I'm excluding xorg.conf. The are going to be new fglrx drivers, not ati ones, as far as I know. I'd be happy to be corrected.
Comment by kongokris 2 (nut543) - Thursday, 06 September 2007, 18:53 GMT
umm yeah, that's what i meant. ati drivers = not open source drivers but fglrx ones, i think the term is pretty generic though...

Did you try to remove Load ddc? Another thing to try according to the internet is to also put the option in Device section. besides that i have nooo idea besides searching google or asking in #xorg :P
Comment by kongokris 2 (nut543) - Wednesday, 19 September 2007, 13:46 GMT
also, have you tried the newest xorg +everything in

[xorg]
http://kth5.telekommunisten.net/xorg/i686/

repo?

another thing is to try the newest ati git...
Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Monday, 24 September 2007, 21:01 GMT
Ok, tried the newest Xorg release which is now in testing, including the 6.7.193 driver, and nothing changed. I'm going to check one last time on freedesktop's bugzilla and if don't find anything I'll file a new bug.
Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Tuesday, 25 September 2007, 10:35 GMT
6.7.194 has been released, and it solves the problem. When it is updated the bug can be closed.
Comment by Alexander Baldeck (kth5) - Tuesday, 25 September 2007, 15:34 GMT
6.7.194 just hot testing. Please test:.

Comment by Corrado Primier (bardo) - Tuesday, 25 September 2007, 17:57 GMT
As I said, it works for me, and at the moment I'm the only one who still suffered from the problem, so if no one else has it I think it can be closed.
