[260.19.0x Geforce 310M] Cannot read VAIO EDID (both with and without CustomEDID)

[alexcriss]

Still no luck with 260.19.12. The new driver seems to recognize the /proc/... EDID (as reported in the changelog), but the screen stays black. Again no relevant errors are found in the Xorg log, even when started with logverbose 6.

I also saw that the 310M is not reported as supported by the driver anymore. Has this anything to do with the black screen?

Cheers,
Alessandro

Have to spend my two cents on this one.

GT 330m also is affected.
Boot freezes with the newer drivers.
No tty's available.
256.53 is last driver working.
Have to use CustomEdid option in Xorg.conf. (funny that with nouveau, I don't have to)

Ditto, taavikko.

Please let us know what test to run and diagnostics to provide.

I tried generate any log message (for example X -(log)verbose 6 > nvidia.log) but it wasn't succesful, because after startx my laptop is frozen (I see only black screen and "_").

I'm think that problem is in detection of display, for example nouveau recognize my lcd as 2048x1536 instead of 1920x1080. Information about this bug is here.

My laptop is Sony Vaio F11M1E/W with GT330M.

Hi taavikko,

Try removing the CustomEDID option with 256.53 - that was fixed some time ago for the GT3XX series with the Sony Vaio laptops.

Not working, 256.53 is broken on Vaio S series without the CustomEDID, as reported in this thread.

To generate the required logs connect via ssh to the laptop and get the relevant information, as AaronP suggested in this thread

Vaio F11S1E is now working without the CustomEDID option.
But the 260.19.12 driver is still a no go.

Will do as soon as I'll get my hands on to a another lappy...

If so, please try running X over SSH with "startx -- -logverbose 6" both with your custom configuration, and with the ConnectedMonitor and CustomEDID options removed, generating an nvidia-bug-report.log.gz for each scenario, and then attach both of them to your reply.

I filed a bug about CustomEDID using mmap(), and we'll change it back to read() in a future release.

Hi, I generated bug reports over ssh as you suggested. Also I generated bug report for working driver 256.53.

And this is very interesting (from kernel dmesg):

Thanks, XjCook. I debugged and fixed the bug that caused the kernel Oops you're seeing today. The next (after the 260.19.21) 260.xx NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release should work on your system.

Does it mean that the EDID will be correctly decoded for the Vaio VPCS or only that the kernel error is gone? Besides, thanks very much for the support

Cheers,
Alessandro

[zander]

X came up at the panel's native resolution on the Sony notebook I briefly had access to, and I believe it correctly read the EDID via ACPI. Unfortunately, I no longer have the notebook.

Thanks for your support too. I'm very happy that this frustrated bug will be fixed
