Test case

The colors on my monitor are too bright when KMS is enabled, both in the console and in Xorg. I have a Radeon 9500 PRO, but Radeon 9000 is also affected[1].

I've attached a script to test the behavior in the console. It should display a gradient with yellow colors, and all colors should be distinguishable (except possibly the first two depending on the monitor settings). With KMS enabled, the colors are too bright and all but the last two are indistinguishable.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (alpha version with latest upgrades) with this kernel: 

Linux crashie2 2.6.32-9-generic #13-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17 17:02:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Output from "radeontool regs" with KMS disabled and enabled

Here's the output from "radeontool regs" with KMS disabled and enabled, respective. As you can see there are a few registers that differ:

-RADEON_DAC_MACRO_CNTL	00000808
+RADEON_DAC_MACRO_CNTL	00000000

-RADEON_TV_DAC_CNTL	07000040
+RADEON_TV_DAC_CNTL	07780142

-RADEON_CRTC_EXT_CNTL	00008040
+RADEON_CRTC_EXT_CNTL	0d008040

Maybe this is somehow related to this bug?

fix primary dac adj values

This patch should fix it.
Comment 4 Samuel Lidén Borell 2009-12-29 21:17:58 UTC
No, I still have the same problem with your patch (tried it with both the Ubuntu DRM modules and the latest modules in Linus' tree).

And the radeontool regs still have the same values.
Comment 5 Alex Deucher 2009-12-29 21:42:42 UTC
Can you attach a copy of your video bios?  (as root):
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id>
echo 1 > rom
cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom
echo 0 > rom

I'm experiencing the same issue with Linux 3.2.

ATI Radeon 9100 registers (with and without KMS)

I've tried `radeontool regs' both with and without KMS. The outputs are in the attached archive.
Execution of `radeontool regset DAC_MACRO_CNTL 2056' fixes the problem.
