boot screen video mode incorrect/unsupported, but desktop okay

[kev]

I'm using some kind of ATI Radeon 128 MB AGP card and an LG LCD monitor native 1280x1024 60Hz. Right after bootman, my screen goes blank with a message from the monitor about analog input and 43.something Hz. After a few seconds of that, the desktop comes up normally and it automatically goes to 1280x1024@60Hz. So I get no icons or logo or anything.

For the record, R5.0.3's boot screen works normally on this same machine.

[axeld]

Can you check a few other resolutions in the video mode menu of the boot loader, and report which ones work, and which ones doesn't? Also, can you have a look in the /var/log/syslog file and add the EDID dump to this bug, too? If you need more guidance, please tell.

[kev]

How do I get to the video mode menu? I didn't know you could switch the resolution on the boot screen.

Also I tried it again so I could get the exact message, the monitor says the following between bootman and desktop:

ANALOG

OUT OF RANGE

46.3 KHZ / 43 HZ

[bga]

Press space ate the very start of the boot process, before the boot icons screen shows up. Then go to the Fail Safe Video mode menu option and test the video resolutions listed there.

[kev]

Sorry for the delay...

I tried again with a build from today/last night, and these modes do not work:

1024x768x32 1024x768x24 (if this is the default, I'm just guessing from trying in QEMU) 1280x1024x32 1280x1024x16 (I think)

But 1024x768x16 does work! I get a very slick-looking boot screen in that mode.

[kev]

Oh, and for those that don't work, the message from my LCD screen is the same as in my original post.

[kev]

Still having no boot screen on hrev27210.

[kev]

Still having no boot screen on hrev27393.

[kev]

Also I found out finally, it's an ATI Radeon 9200 AGP 8x/4x that's in there.

[kev]

Works great on the latest nightly. Hooray!

[axeld]

Thanks for the update(s)! :-)

[Kev]

In Alpha 1 this was still working, but on the latest nightlies (GCC4 hybrid hrev33783 for example) it's behaving the way it used to again.

Does that last line mean that a message from the network card is interrupting the monitor's resolution being switched?

[axeld]

Nothing has changed in Haiku AFAIK, so maybe somehting in your setup changed?

Anyway, the kernel has nothing to do with mode setting, why did you change the component? It's done in the boot loader only.

[Kev]

If by setup you mean BIOS settings, there have been no changes. I did unplug our router a few times recently, if that maybe changed the timing of when DHCP messages would come in, or something... In any case, it's still an issue.

My bad, I thought the KERN messages indicated it was the kernel. Sorry about that. :)

[anevilyak]

Replying to Kev:

My bad, I thought the KERN messages indicated it was the kernel. Sorry about that. :)

Those are indeed from the kernel, but those are the point at which the actual haiku graphics driver is setting the desktop resolution (i.e. end of boot screen/start of haiku desktop). There should be a similar EDID/resolution dump near the very beginning of the syslog, and that's the part that's relevant since that's where the boot loader's doing its work to set the resolution for the actual boot screen.

[Kev]

Oh, it had looked like the same VESA and Radeon sections appeared many many times, and the top of the file was all 'auvia' stuff, so I thought it was a cyclic log and I would want the stuff from the bottom.

Here's the first spot that mentions EDID:

I'm not sure why it says CRT, but oh well. Does that help?

[mmlr]

Please try a GCC2 based nightly as well. It might surface on GCC4 only.

Oops...sorry for the multiple attachments. Web+ was giving me an error message, so I hadn't thought it was going through.

[Kev]

latest syslog

[Kev]

This is from haiku-r1a2-rc-hrev36423-x86gcc2hybrid-raw. None of the nightlies/RCs since last time have behaved any differently.

Any clues? Is there any additional information I could provide? I'm pretty curious, since it did work at one point in Haiku's history.

[stippi]

Well your graphics card is supported by the Radeon driver, while the boot screen is provided via the VESA BIOS. That's why there is a difference, I am afraid to fix your issue, one may have to have access to your hardware.

[Kev]

Ah, that makes sense. Well, if I ever get a new computer, I could send this one to someone. It's an old eMachines low-end desktop I bought around 2005. But it's still working so that may or may not happen soon. I guess it's not really a show-stopper, so should we close the ticket then?

[scottmc]

Can you recheck this with a recent Haiku build?

[Kev]

This is still happening on hrev44543 on the same hardware. I did notice something slightly different this time though, that for a split second before the desktop appears, i.e. right after it switches into a video mode my monitor recognizes, I see the Haiku loading screen with all the icons lit up.

[Kev]

Happens on Alpha 4.1.

[diver]

Replying to Kev:

In Alpha 1 this was still working, but on the latest nightlies (GCC4 hybrid hrev33783 for example) it's behaving the way it used to again.

Could you try Alpha 1 again just to be sure it still works?

[Kev]

I thought I had an image somewhere, but I no longer do. I don't seem to be able to find one anymore. Do you know of a direct download link I can use?

(In any case, I don't see why it shouldn't. I distinctly remember it working, and I haven't had another system to try Haiku on until just recently.)

[Kev]

Good news, as of GCC2 hybrid hrev45385, everything works correctly! The splash screen looks slick. Not sure what got fixed, but great job!

[diver]

Thanks for the feedback! Closing.

[Kev]

This is happening again as of hrev46198. It was not happening on hrev46164.

[anevilyak]

I've actually been seeing this off and on since the PM merge here too. Interestingly with a legacy Radeon card as well (X800).

[pulkomandy]

Not a strict "boot failure" as the system boots eventually, removing from #7665.
