| stgraber | heya, just changed laptop last week and upgraded to quantal. Now trying to have the shiny new hd4000 to drive 3 monitors at once and failing quite miserably | 14:32 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | getting any two displays to work is fine, getting the third to work at the same time, not so much | 14:32 |
| stgraber | looking around, I found http://www.mail-archive.com/intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org/msg12877.html which may be related | 14:34 |
| stgraber | so far I'm trying with two 1920x1080 external monitor (one over HDMI, other over VGA) + laptop's 1366x768 | 14:34 |
| stgraber | will receive an adapter this week to get both external monitors on DVI (mini-DP => two separate single-link DVI) | 14:34 |
| tjaalton | stgraber: so it only has the intel, no hybrid? | 14:35 |
| stgraber | right, it's a new ivy bridge laptop with an hd4000 | 14:35 |
| stgraber | the hd4000 has 3 CRTC | 14:35 |
| tjaalton | yup | 14:36 |
| stgraber | so is supposed to be able to drive 3 screens, as long as two of them share the same clock (should be the case here, with two 1920x1080 screens) | 14:36 |
| tjaalton | those patches will hit 3.7 at the earliest | 14:37 |
| stgraber | I may try to rebuild a kernel with http://www.mail-archive.com/intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org/msg12880.html applied as it seems to match my current setup (one of the two external being on VGA, likely getting CRTC2) | 14:39 |
| stgraber | hopefully everything will just work once I move to DVI for both screens. TBH runing a full-hd screen over VGA is usually quite bad, so I can't think of anyone who'd stick with that setup ;) | 14:41 |
| tjaalton | only the first patch is in the drm queue | 14:42 |
| dupondje | Somebody around that could help me to solve HDMI output not working with nouveau? | 14:45 |
| tjaalton | dupondje: better luck with #nouveau i guess | 14:48 |
| bjsnider | dupondje, what card is that? | 14:49 |
| dupondje | Nvidia GeForce GT 540M | 14:51 |
| dupondje | I can get HDMI output 'working' when I manually add the device in xorg.conf | 14:51 |
| dupondje | the image is a bit disorted | 14:51 |
| dupondje | but xrandr for example shows HDMI1 disconnected | 14:52 |
| bjsnider | if dvi works you can use an adapter | 14:52 |
| bjsnider | won't carry sound though | 14:52 |
| dupondje | have no DVI output :) | 14:53 |
| dupondje | HDMI & displayport | 14:53 |
| bjsnider | neat | 14:53 |
| bjsnider | obviously you could use the blob | 14:54 |
| bjsnider | you don't have to use nouveau | 14:54 |
| dupondje | the blob can't even read the resolution of my laptop screen ... :) | 14:55 |
| bjsnider | which blob is this? | 14:56 |
| dupondje | nvidia-current in quantal | 14:56 |
| dupondje | must say I haven't looked into fixing the blob really :) | 14:57 |
| dupondje | nouveau works near to perfect, except the HDMI output which seems partly broken | 14:58 |
| tjaalton | try 3.6-rc | 14:58 |
| dupondje | I guess if xrandr can see the HDMI output connected, its working fine | 14:58 |
| dupondje | tjaalton: tried daily kernel already | 14:58 |
| tjaalton | ok | 14:58 |
| dupondje | as I saw alot of new nouveau stuff was in it :) | 14:58 |
| dupondje | http://dupondje.be/dmesg.txt => is my dmesg with drm.debug=0x4 | 14:59 |
| dupondje | you can see it correctly finds the HDMI screen, even its supported resolutions etc | 14:59 |
| dupondje | [ 49.248709] [drm:output_poll_execute], [CONNECTOR:17:HDMI-A-1] status updated from 1 to 1 | 15:01 |
| dupondje | here I pulled the HDMI cable | 15:01 |
| dupondje | (last line) | 15:01 |
| dupondje | any idea's ? :) | 15:17 |
| tjaalton | dupondje: like I said, #nouveau would be better for such questions ;) | 16:03 |
| dupondje | its quite dead there :( | 16:04 |
| dupondje | i'll try harder :p | 16:04 |
| tjaalton | ah, saw that now | 16:05 |
| tjaalton | well, yesterday was a holiday in the US | 16:05 |
| tjaalton | dunno if that matters | 16:05 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, bryce, RAOF: hey guys, xorg still has lit of items on http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/canonical-desktop-team-ubuntu-12.10-beta-1.html ... can we get them postponed, moved to beta2, closed, etc as appropriate? | 17:28 |
| seb128 | desktop-q-xorg-general 15 todo for beta1 | 17:28 |
| seb128 | and some still on desktop-p-libxrandr-utils and desktop-q-hybrid-graphics | 17:29 |
| LLStarks | there's a prime ppa now? inb4 front page of phoronix | 17:48 |
| tjaalton | hmm, maybe should just delete that task | 17:48 |
| tjaalton | no separate ppa, we have what is released | 17:49 |
| tjaalton | seb128: checked most of my tasks | 17:49 |
| LLStarks | tjaalton, if there was to be a ppa, it would need i915-uxa, nouveau, and xrandr 1.4 | 17:49 |
| tjaalton | one remains, probably need to postpone it | 17:49 |
| tjaalton | quantal has xrandr 1.4 | 17:49 |
| tjaalton | some ddx patches are missing, might make it in, dunno | 17:49 |
| bryce | seb128, will so do | 17:50 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, bryce: thanks | 17:50 |
| LLStarks | will i915 be sna or uxa as default? i know both will be built | 17:50 |
| tjaalton | hmm, not sure about xrandr anymore :) | 17:50 |
| tjaalton | LLStarks: likely uxa | 17:51 |
| LLStarks | airlied's patches are just starting to land for both ddx | 17:51 |
| tjaalton | right, so we don't have xrandr 1.4 yet | 17:52 |
| tjaalton | meh, I'll decide tomorrow if the ppa is really needed or not | 17:55 |
| LLStarks | mesa should be ready if the 8/21 build included the DRI_PRIME cherrypick | 17:58 |
| LLStarks | err merge | 17:58 |
| LLStarks | looks like it got in | 17:58 |
| LLStarks | tjaalton, if you're interested in prime QA for the quantal stack (plus the patched ddx's), i'd be happy to help. very encouraging results so far. | 17:59 |
| tjaalton | LLStarks: ok, cool | 18:00 |
| tjaalton | mesa snapshot updated as of yesterday, sitting in git waiting for the beta freeze to end (and libdrm update to enter the archive..) | 18:01 |
| LLStarks | dri2proto, xserver, randproto, libxrandr are all landed. i'm pretty sure libdrm 2.4.38 landed with the needed changes as well. | 18:08 |
| LLStarks | xrandr 1.4 is needed to manually set the provider | 18:09 |
| LLStarks | prime with nouveau is nice though, it already outperforms bumblebee with the nvidia blob: http://pastebin.com/j1CQBsdB | 18:14 |

| dupondje | #nouveau seems really silent : | 21:13 |
| bjsnider | dupondje, that is because nouveau has no problems or bugs or missing features at all, so no one complains | 21:57 |
| dupondje | right :D | 22:01 |
| dupondje | anyway, opened a bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54512 :) | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Freedesktop bug 54512 in Driver/nouveau "xrandr does not detect screen" [Normal,New] | 22:01 |
| bjsnider | don't believe that one, huh? | 22:03 |
| bjsnider | ; | 22:10 |
