[Bug 582164] [NEW] Radeon R350 (9800 Pro/AIW) + KMS monitor out of sync

[Gary W]

Public bug reported:

As soon as radeon module is loaded while still in the initrd, monitor
goes blank, and then displays "out of sync" errors.   Exhibits similar
behavior running Arch Linux kernel-2.6.33.2 .  Also tested ubuntu-kernel
2.6.34.2 from xorg-edgers ppa and still exhibits same behavior.

I may have kind of an odd setup.  For one, the card is ancient, but
capable.  Two, the card has one DVI and one S-Video port, but all I have
is a standard VGA cable, so I must use a DVI->VGA converter, which may
be affecting things.  I may pick up a regular DVI cable some day, as my
monitor does have a DVI port.  Xorg seems to get the EDID data just
fine, and in Xorg.0.log displays the same modeline than with
radeon.modeset=0 appended to kernelopts.  Computer is still responsive,
as I can still issue a ctrl-alt-f2, login, and sudo reboot (all by
touch, monitor is still "out of sync")

I hope apport attaches all relevant information, but if more information
is necessary feel free to ask.  I just know that I won't be able to boot
with radeon.modeset=0 forever, as everything moves to DRI2.

Thanks
