 Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2006 11:05 am Post subject: Screen shifted with ATI drivers |
 |
|
After upgrading xorg to 7.1.1, xorg-server 1.1.1, the VESA driver stopped working on my laptop. So I switched to the ATI driver, but they don't work correctly either: My whole screen is displaced, so that the top quarter of the screen displays on the bottom. I noticed that my graphics card, a Rage Mobility P/M, is not listed as supported by the driver.
Of course, I can't really work that way. Does anyone have an idea how to get the screen right, and failing that, to get the VESA driver back to work?
Here the relevant parts of my (xorgcfg-generated) xorg.conf: | Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",

Option "crt_display" "false" # [<bool>] # i tried changing this option
#Option "composite_sync" "true"

Sure, but it's not very interesting: | Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection

Add
and update the last subsection to
| Code: |
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
|
Do you see any difference? |

Well yes: the top few scanlines of the screen (which are displayed in the lower quarter now) have begun flickering.
Apart from that, nothing. |

Perhaps adding
| Code: | | Option "DPMS" "true" |
to your Monitor section makes a difference. If not, I haven't any clue what problem it could be. |

I'ld suggest:
| Code: | VIDEO_CARDS="ati" #in make.conf of course
emerge -uDvN xorg-x11 |
and then xorg.conf can setup a device with | Code: | Section Device
...
Driver "ati"
...
EndSection |
IMHO

After reading the last post I think I know what's wrong
Use
This should do the trick.
There used to be a VIDEO_CARDS="ati" and a VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx". But they were removed with the latest version of xorg-x11. |

Yeah, you have tu see in xorf.conf
Section Screen
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "Card0"
...
Than in the:
Section Device
Identifier "Card0" # The same!!!
Driver XXX
you have to set XXX with the driver you want
fglrx if you have autoloaded in kernel or ati if it was in another Device since now
Alternately, If you have another Section Device you can change Device identifier in Screen with the one you want to use.
I know VIDEO_CARDS has only one flags for ATI now, but 2 drivers are compiled as modules in X:
radeon and ati, so I supposed it was ati, but radeon its right;)

Just out of curiousity, had you ever installed other versions of fglrx before installing 8.27? The reason I ask is some scren configuration file needs to be updated after the install of 8.27, I ran etc-update, then allowed the new version to overwrite the old. Don't know if this helps.
Also, I saw mention of VIDEO_CARDS, here is what I have for my x600:
$ grep VIDEO /etc/make.conf
VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx radeon"

Yes, I had fgrx installed before. It seems it is disabled now by default, whereas before it was enabled...?
I'll try adding fglrx to my VIDEO_CARDS and reemerging. Seems this will take a while. |

| normally when you have a screen shift its a problem with the vert/horz freq. make sure your in the range of your monitor. It would also explain the flicker. I dont know about the ati cards but i think nvidia had an override i hade to use because it was hyjacking the settings i setup in my monitor settings in xorg conf. |

ATi takes it straight from the xorg.conf as far as my experience goes.
