The monitor is connected with a full DP cable. No implicit conversions to alternate plugs (eg: DVI).

comment:2 by kallisti5, 11 years ago

KERN: radeon_hd: dp_aux_speak: dp_aux_ch flags not zero!

Is definitely the problem there... let me see if I introduced a bug.

Have tested with your recent changes. (eg: new build, hrev46567 ) DP still does not work.

Don't know if this is relevant or not. The video card is clearly identified as a Radeon HD6870. However, the product was sold under the "Sapphire" brand. Perhaps that manufacturer configured the product in some unique manner.

comment:6 by kallisti5, 11 years ago

brand doesn't matter. The driver should dynamically adjust how it operates if the vendor makes adjustments due to AtomBIOS

You're seeing the same issue my DisplayPort devices are seeing:

KERN: radeon_hd: dp_setup_connectors
5427	KERN: radeon_hd: dp_setup_connectors: found dp connector on index 0
5428	KERN: radeon_hd: dp_aux_speak: dp_aux_ch flags not zero!
5429	KERN: Last message repeated 3 times.
5430	KERN: radeon_hd: dp_setup_connectors: found dp connector on index 1
5431	KERN: radeon_hd: dp_aux_speak: dp_aux_ch flags not zero!
5432	KERN: Last message repeated 3 times.

dp_aux_speak: dp_aux_ch flags not zero! means we can't communicate over the DP aux data channel meaning we can't get edid data. I'm going to reach out to AMD to see if they have any ideas this afternoon.

Any progress? It's been a year now.

I have recently tested with hrev48500 and I still get the black screen upon start-up.

Is there any way I can assist with the testing? I have the capability to cross-compile under Linux and run some tests.

I get a blank screen with hrev50464 as well. One of my monitors has an on-screen display that shows it's trying to set "H=36.7 kHz, V=25 Hz" which is out of range.

Radeon R9 295X2, three different DP monitors (two 2560x1440, one 5120x2880).
