Description Adam Williamson 2014-11-25 00:31:01 UTC

There's an upstream bug:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88481

which breaks HDMI output on Radeon systems (not sure if it affects absolutely all Radeon+HDMI combos or if it works if you're using audio output or something, but it certainly affected me and multiple others). The bug is in kernels 3.17.3 and 3.17.4.

The bug has been fixed in upstream master:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=83d04c39f9048807a8500e575ae3f1718a3f45bb

but not in a 3.17 release yet (it was found in 3.17.3, and the fix missed 3.17.4). This is a major problem for anyone trying to use a Radeon adapter and an HDMI display, obviously. I'm proposing as an FE as if not fixed, no-one will be able to use the F21 release media with such a configuration.

Comment 1 Scott Suehle 2014-11-26 20:19:22 UTC

Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Accepted as a AcceptedFreezeException. Having HDMI work for radeon cards would be good to get fixed for GA.

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2014-11-27 11:14:09 UTC

Shouldn't this be moved to kernel rather than xorg driver so Josh can pick the patch for the next kernel build?

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2014-11-27 17:55:34 UTC

Bugs in KMS stuff are assigned to the xorg driver packages by convention, I have poked Josh about it a few times but he's on PTO this week apparently. I might just do this myself, I'd hate to ship F21 with it broken.

Comment 10 Daibhidh 2014-12-29 15:21:52 UTC

HDMI output on radeon card does not work for me with Fedora 21 - it gives me a static messed up screen. Also, when the HDMI is connected, there is a visual disturbance on the laptop monitor (driven by the Intel card), arising from moving the mouse around.

I am using kernel 3.17.7-300.fc21.
All was fine with Fedora 20.

I include some lines from journalctl.
I don;t know how relevant this is - there is an (EE) message at
Dec 27 21:07:12 (first message at this timestamp).

Cheers.

Hi, Daibidh. It's certainly not this bug, this one was very specifically identified and definitely fixed in 3.17.5. Please file a new report according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems . Thanks!
