Does booting with radeon.audio=0 on the kernel command line in grub fix the issue? You can also disable audio on the fly xrandr. E.g., xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio off I haven't tried myself, but according to publicly available forums it would help. However, I need hdmi audio working, so I can't use this as a workaround. Can you try it to be sure to at least narrow down what the problem might be? ok i tried it and surprisingly it does not help. I have flicker, but i don't get the ELD messages. Note I also use video=HDMI-A-1:640x480 for the kernel to get a usable resolution in the text console. (In reply to kb from comment #0) > > Downgrading to 3.14 seems to remove the issue. Can you bisect to find out what change caused this regression? I'll have to setup the enviro, it'll take some time. But yeah, I'll do it. 32167016076f714f0e35e287fbead7de0f1fb179 is the first bad commit commit 32167016076f714f0e35e287fbead7de0f1fb179 Author: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Date: Fri Mar 28 18:55:10 2014 +0100 drm/radeon: rework finding display PLL numbers v2 This completely reworks how the PLL parameters are generated and should result in better matching dot clock frequencies. Probably needs quite a bit of testing. bugs: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76564 v2: more cleanup and comments.

dmesg 2nd run
I applied the patch but don't see any of the extra msgs in the dmesg. Maybe it's because i'm running it on the BAD kernel? Can you make a patch against 3.14 (this one doesn't apply cleanly on 3.14)? Created attachment 156071 [details]
dmesg round 2 with correct kernel
OK, false alarm. I had a wrong kernel. Correct output attached. Created attachment 156211 [details]
Possible fix
Please try the attached patch. It's based on top of Alex drm-fixes-3.18 branch, but should apply to older ones as well.
The problem seems to be that with a reference frequency of 14.32Mhz and a reference divider of 14 we get 1.0228Mhz which is very close to the minimum input frequency of 1Mhz.
Hi, unfortunately supplied patch does not fix the issue. Do you need some more debug output? (In reply to kb from comment #20) > Hi, unfortunately supplied patch does not fix the issue. Do you need some > more debug output? dmesg output generated with drm.debug=0xE on the kernel command line would be nice. But I'm running out of idea what else this could be. I've also added this line DRM_DEBUG_KMS("in patched branch: %u\n", ref_div_max); add the end of your patch, i.e. after ref_div_max = min(ref_div_max, pll->reference_freq / in_min); just to make sure the new code gets hit. I see this in dmesg [ 23.002707] [drm:radeon_compute_pll_avivo] in patched branch: 13 and I'm attaching the full output as well. Hope it gives you some more ideas. Created attachment 158001 [details]

You could try to artificially limit ref_div_max or fb_div_max until you get a stable signal once more.

Attached is a testing patch which adds an artificially upper limit to 400.0 for the feedback divider (normal range 17.0-2048.0) and an upper limit of 13 for the reference divider (normal range 2-15). I suggest you start playing with the feedback divider values until you can figure out the limits for your hardware. E.g. try 400 as in my patch first, if that works raise it to 800 if that doesn't work go down to 600 again etc.. > > > > Do you think change of graphics card would resolve the issue? > > > > Well, most likely yes. > > > > But the new kernel seems to work better for some people, but has regressed > > for you.

But since apparently my card is "legacy" I had to downgrade to > xorg server 1.12 :-| Yeah, that's the problem I've got as well. The hardware isn't supported any more so the whole documentation is not available. I think your patch has a typo on line 1002 should be ref_div_max not fb_div_max. Anyway I played with the numbers and I found a config that works for me. See below for all the different combos. Right now I'm running with ref_div_max capped to 2 and going to test it in prolonged use. Any further ideas about this? fb/ref => outcome 4000/13 => mode not supported (message on TV screen) 2000/13 => MNS 1000/13 => MNS 500/13 => MNS 4000/1023 => MNS 2000/1023 => MNS 1000/1023 => MNS 20470/1023 => (nominal value without any capping) flicker 10000/1023 => flicker 8000/1023 => different type of flicker, then blank screen 6000/1023 => MNS 20470/13 => flicker 20470/11 => flicker 20470/10 => flicker 20470/9 => very seldom flicker 20470/7 => stable! 20470/2 => stable! Hi, I've also verified that commit 32167016076f714f0e35e287fbead7de0f1fb179 breaks my system: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) The attached patch works fine for me. Without the patch, I can no longer use the DVI connector of my (onboard) graphics card, only VGA works. Additional info: With the (unmodified) patch applied, I get a message "Nonpreset Mode" displayed on my monitor when I turn it on. So I think the patch is not 100% correct ... Christian, do you have any further ideas? Can perhaps the ref_div_max be settable via sysfs so that I can cap it on boot? Created attachment 163891 [details]
Possible fix
Unfortunately I don't have any more ideas either. There must be some undocumented limitation on RS880 and maybe older chips that don't seem to exists any more on newer ones.
Unfortunately my last RS880 based system blow up about a month ago, so I can't test this any more.
Please test the attached patch, it just artificial limits the reference divider to 7 on RS880 and older chips. If that works I'm going to submit the patch upstream.
Hello Christian It took me a while to regather my bugzilla login info, so I'm not sure whether you pushed this fix into kernel-git already or still are awaiting feedback, anyway ... I'm quoting my testing results I wrote in the debian bugtracker (#770790): That small patch in attachment #163891 [details] does indeed fix the screen flickering for me. I built three versions of radeon.ko against 3.16.7-ckt2 from debian/testing: 1) vanilla version: reproducible flickering, it's even easier to reproduce by quickly dragging a medium sized window around in circles 2) superseded version: (attachment #159331 [details]): no flickering, might contain a typo on line 1002, but I did not fix that one and it ran flawless for days 3) current version: (#attachment 163891 [details]): no flickering So to sum up: this small fix in #163891 is a blessing, I vote for pushing this if it hasn't happened already. Already upstream: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=72edd83cc9e5819ed1ee771519143d7594e059f0 I had similar problems until I used 3.18.7. I couldn´t even boot beyond radeon load. The whole kernel crashed and my Monitor showed no usable signal. I had to blacklist and load it manually with option radeon.dpm=0, after turning on my Monitor . With kernel 3.18.6 I could use the radeon option radeon.aspm=0, but still had to turn on my Monitor before radeon module load. Now with this kernel I only need radeon.aspm=0 and no blacklist option, either the Monitor is turned on before or after radeon module load. Also GPU speedup with Video output works fine. Thx alot!!

I landed here via: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87682 With the same issue mentioned by user Lockheed and the exact same chip (RS780M). Last comment in that post (from Alex Deucher) referred to this bugreport. On my RS780M I have exactly the same artefacts on my LVDS on any kernel version higher than 3.13 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx2-Fvihzxg ) strangely enough the VGA out is not affected. Kernels tested up to 4.4.0 Would you like me to add some more info or would you like me to file a separate bug ? |
