Bug 16249

Please attach your dmesg (grep | drm) and xrandr output.

Error message you cited is important for HDMI audio, nothing about standard video output.

First patch attempt by glisse (this doesn't work)

I have already discussed this issue on #radeon IRC channel with glisse and he gave me this patch, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

After applying this patch and recompiling kernel, everything seems good (HDTV is again properly detected by xrandr) until I try to activate HDMI output with xrandr. After it main laptop LVDS screen get garbled and graphics system completely freezes (but I still can SSH into system).

This is relevant error from dmesg:

So do you mean it actually improved anything about output in xrandr? I don't really see the way how it could be achieved.

Crash you saw in dmesg is caused because of using times that was not setup. It should be addressed anyway.

There are two issues here:
1. hdmi video not working
Might be fixed by:

2. hdmi audio not working
May be addressed by:

Alex Deucher: Are all those patches already in drm-radeon-testing? I have tried latest drm-radeon-testing (2c4fcfba8453c680830f8363208f0eb7a4272a10), but HDMI still doesn't work. In fact it is worse than before - after activating HDMI output by xrandr (setting it to clone mode), X server and all graphics locks up (main LVDS screen turns black and I can't do anything, even KMS console is frozen and I can't switch to it - I have tried SysRq+R and "chvt 1" over SSH without success). TV connected through HDMI still says "unknown video format". It is similar behavior as with first patch by glisse.

only the audio patches are in d-r-t.  the video patch (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2010-June/001234.html) is not.  Also, as for just getting video working, try booting with radeon.audio=0

Alex Deucher: I have tried booting with radeon.audio=0 (and also setting "options radeon audio=0" in modprobe.conf), but it doesn't seems to work, I still see "card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]" in aplay -l output (on the other hand, "[drm] Enabling audio support" line is now missing in dmesg output, so maybe it really is disabled?).

Anyway I have tried HDMI with radeon.audio=0 and after activating HDMI output with xrandr, it didn't lock up for the first time (when I tried clone mode) but TV stayed black and displayed "unknown video format". I have tried several resolutions without success and when I tried dual screen setup (instead of clone mode) LVDS finally went also black and lock up. But I could still get into system over SSH and there is still that "[drm:r600_audio_set_clock] *ERROR* Unsupported encoder type 0x19" line in dmesg.

This was tested on drm-radeon-testing kernel. Unfortunately I didn't have time to compile new kernel with that "disable frac fb dividers for rs6xx" patch to try it out yet.
