Comment (by rudolfc):
Nice! Thank you again for testing!
A few remarks:
- What happens during Haiku boot (upto/including the last icon) is outside
of the Haiku driver. The Haiku driver (accelerant) is started as soon as
the icons screen disappears.
- You are running 64bit Haiku, correct? I am going to need to send you a
testversion or two where I force singlehead screen mode, as Haiku these
days (apparantly) forces dualhead clone mode. This means we cannot
determine atm if the conclusions in the driver about head connections are
correct.
I'll try to locate the source for Mark Watsons dualhead setup utility
which is a better fit for my dualhead drivers than the Haiku prefs panel
is: in this utility you can set singlehead mode also explicitly.
- Don't upload any more rom images: they will all be the same since it's
the same card you are testing.. ;-)
I would still like some more info:
- So: you run 64bit Haiku, or can you run 32bit haiku as well (simpler for
me since my dev system is 32bit atm)
- So DVI connections are now OK. For the analog connections I have some
more questions/requests:
- HP monitor: You sent a photo with out of range. You state it turns off
after that. Can you resend a photo from this situation as well, but taken
when Haiuku is fully loaded? (desktop visible). If the screen is off,
disconnect and re-attach it to the same port if possible, might well be it
will show the desktop for a few seconds again.
- Dell monitor: you describe what you see instead of uploading a photo.
Can you please do that again and make a photo and upload it? Also I am
hoping you can tell me what the monitor says about the input mode. there
should be a menu in your monitor with the option to show modeinfo.
- I really want to stress to you again that the -monitor's- report about
set modes in something I cannot do without.. -only- that piece of info
will tell me if the PLL is programmed correctly or not (along with the
logfile belonging with that mode)
- If modes are correctly displayed I do not need a photo of that, but, if
a mode is displaying with artifacts/trouble, please do upload a photo of
that.
Next steps for me:
- come up with testdriver and/or another screen prefs app to set driver
modes, once I know if you can run 32bit haiku, or if you only run 64bit
- once I have enough info from the monitors themselves (if they can
display a mode, always ask the monitor which mode it is receiving and let
me know exactly what it states) I need to have correlation between what
the driver thinks it is sending, and what the monitor connected is
actually receiving.
- Depending upon the monitor info, revisit PLL programming, probably for
discriminator and/or VCO frequency limiting updates.
BTW I am curious: you sent a screenshot taken from the prefs app a few
times: I am guessing that at that moment the monitor did not display
anything? If so, how did you manage to do this? :-)
