Hello. I've just received a new 34" Dell monitor, but I am unable to start X on freebsd. When I bring resolution above 2560x1080, for example 2560x1440 or 3440x1440 (which is the resolution I use in Linux), the screen goes off and the only thing I can do is restart the computer with Ctrl Alt Canc. I can't switch back to text console. Is this resolution too high for the current i915kms driver? Is something I can do? dmesg says: iic6: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus6 iic7: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus7 iicbus8: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb4 addr 0x0 iic8: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus8 iic9: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus9 iicbus10: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb5 addr 0x0 iic10: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus10 iic11: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus11 iicbus12: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb6 addr 0x0 iic12: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus12 iic13: <I2C generic I/O> on iicbus13 info: [drm] MSI enabled 1 message(s) info: [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 1 (10.10.2010). info: [drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query. drmn0: taking over the fictitious range 0xe0000000-0xf0000000 info: [drm] Enabling RC6 states: RC6 off, RC6p off, RC6pp off info: [drm] Connector VGA-1: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.VGA-1 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode info: [drm] Connector HDMI-A-1: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.HDMI-A-1 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode info: [drm] Connector DP-1: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.DP-1 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode info: [drm] Connector HDMI-A-2: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.HDMI-A-2 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode info: [drm] Connector HDMI-A-3: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.HDMI-A-3 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode info: [drm] Connector DP-2: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.DP-2 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode info: [drm] Connector DP-3: get mode from tunables: info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.modes.DP-3 info: [drm] - kern.vt.fb.default_mode fbd0 on drmn0 VT: Replacing driver "vga" with new "fb". info: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for drmn0 on minor 0 error: [drm:pid871:gen6_sanitize_pm] *ERROR* Power management discrepancy: GEN6_RP_INTERRUPT_LIMITS expected 17000000, was 12000000 pid 931 (zeitgeist-datahub), uid 1001: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) Xorg.0.log does not report any (EE) error message, apart from fbdev module not found. Ok with resolutions < 2560x1440. I'm setting device vt and kldload i915kms Thanks for any help. Giacomo, Italy.
Do you still experience these problems with recent versions of FreeBSD and graphics stack + video drivers? Note that DRM support had moved out of the base system/kernel to the `graphics/drm-*-kmod' and `graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod' ports. Your report was against 10.3-RELEASE which went out of support long time ago. Please update to contemporary, supported FreeBSD version and reconduct your tests. Adding x11@ to CC list so it can be tracked while originally filed under base system/kern.
Hello Dear Alexey. I have no installation at the moment to provide a reply. Yes it is an old issue, I suggest closing it as I think it will have been solved in the meantime. Regards
