Nouveau - Apr 2011 - [Bug 35901] New: two full hd displays (left and right) with nouveau does not work any more

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35901

           Summary: two full hd displays (left and right) with nouveau
                    does not work any more
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.4
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: grafgrimm77 at gmx.de
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


the "old" combination works fine:
  x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre2010101
  x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.5
  x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.22
  media-libs/mesa-7.9

with the following settings:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen-two"
    Device      "nouveau-two"
    Monitor     "DVI-D-1"
    Monitor     "VGA-1"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Virtual 3840 1080
    EndSubsection
EndSection

and the following commands:
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --primar
xrandr --output VGA-1 --left-of DVI-D-1


the new (perhaps not the newest) combination cause problems:
  x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20101130
  x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.5
  x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.9
  media-libs/mesa-7.10.1
  x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.23

I figured out that using both displays one above the other works:
  xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --below VGA-1. 
  the final resolution is: 1920 * 2160
  The only problem is a completly wrong auto-dpi-setting. 

But my favorite layout (booth displays beside each other does not work):
  xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --right-of VGA-1
  here the final resolution is: 3840 * 1080
"does not work" means: i see a mouse courser which a can move around
booth
displays, but the picture has errors (vertical stripes) and the desktop is not
usable at all (no text, no icons). I used kde4 and xfce4 for testing. 

When I use 1280*1024 on the left screen, "xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --below
VGA-1." works fine. so the final resolution is 3200 * 1080

So why 3840 * 1080 is too much? The maximum should be 4096 * 4096 as 
  xrandr --query
tells me: 

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm
x 268mm
   1920x1080      60.0*+
DVI-D-1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
531mm x 299mm
   1920x1080      60.0*+
This output was made with the old working combination.

Same problem here. Once I use xrandr to put one device left-of the other, the
elements are not drawn correctly, any window is merely a huge gray blob,
although the cursor is drawn just fine and moves along both screens without
problems. There are no errors within Xorg.log, but this problem is seriously
annoying, so please fix this :)

Hi Mario

Would you mind attaching kernel and X logs for *both* software
configurations so that some conclusions can be made.
Just to point out you have not even mentioned what card do you have
(apart from the fact that it is nvidia =).

Some screenshots may also be useful (but optional) - a picture says more
than a thousand words.

I.e. if you would like the issue to be resolved please provide some
relevant information [1] Please ensure that the logs are full and
attached as plain text.

Cheers

kernel log of non-working configuration

this includes two display configurations:
1. one display on top, the other at the bottom:
  xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1920x1080
  xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --below VGA-1
Everything is fine.

2. one display left, the other display right:
  xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1920x1080
  xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --right-of VGA-1
the mouse coursor is fine, but everything else not! (-> i will provide a
screenshot soon!)

xrandr-right-of results in this picture

To make it clear: "below" is working and "right-of" (or
"left-of") is NOT
working with the following "new" software installation. the last two
log files
were made with this software installation.

Some observations about this bug which may or may not be helpful.  I messed
around with xrandr to see exactly what would and wouldn't trigger the
problem.

If I slightly overlay my second display onto the first one's viewport, then
the
problem vanishes.  Turns out that if I have 16 or more pixels of horizontal
overlap, the bug does not occur, but once the right-hand display comes within
16 pixels of a standard --right-of arrangement, the bug occurs.

Finally, I found that the bug only occurs at 24bpp.

Also, I found a pseudo-workaround.  It's pretty horrible though.  If I do:

  $ xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --scale 1x1.0001
  $ xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --scale 1x1.0001

which is just enough to add one vertical pixel to the screen dimensions, then I
get a result which very closely approximates a working setup.  Obviously this
is a terrible kludge and really no solution at all but it was good enough to
get me up and running.

HTH,

-gmt

A few more notes about this.  First, I backported almost everything from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6 into my 2.6.38.4 kernel, but
the problem remained. (Only stuff I didn't backport was 3673dd547 and
27e8b237944, which, i guess, relied on f9820a46dd, which I was too lazy to look
into).

Secondly, I forgot to mention anything about my setup.

I have an NV49 (iirc, 7950GT (?)) with 512MB.  My xorg.conf is pretty trivial:

One final note: (can you tell I'd really like to get this resolved?)

after some experimenting, I've figured out the precise nature of the glitch.
When this glitch occurs, what we are seeing is the top pixel on the screen,
stretched out into screen-tall columns.  In other words, the top row of pixels
is displayed correctly, but all the other rows in the framebuffer are just
duplicates of the top row of pixels.

If anyone would like me to perform any additional experiments, I'd be glad
to.

Here as some things you can try - not too sure it they may work as I do not
have a nv40 card

xorg.cong options:

* Try enabling/disabling the WrappedFB - it is known to cause issues in some
rare cases
* Disable PageFlip
* Disable AIGLX

Looking at the "16 pixels overlap" it does give me some ideas that
tiling may
be responsible, thus on top of master(xf86-video-nouveau) you can try reverting
some commits
Note that in some cases reverting can cause other visual "bonuses"

* xv: use nouveau_bo_new_tile() - c2d341f7e0a0dc70a28c6091ef6919fc6c0d60561

* nv10-nv40/exa: Fix tiled pixmap pitch alignment calculation -
8c8f15c9d3a31c35bf2ef20faf8c4133295a678f

* Restructure tiled pixmap allocation in a single place -
75daada678d03d2e162f8003a6f2edcbe0525f92

* Allocate a tiled scanout on pre-nv50 too -
c88f13e25b0040c1dd0f93e0ac40f62a6005ce59

I hope it helps

nv17_crtc_large_pitch.patch

Apparently you're hitting a corner case of the nv17-nv40 modesetting code
(pitch == 4096px), because of the pitch alignment restrictions imposed by
tiling.

Can you try out the attached patch?
