<p>
Back then we had no idea that GTT address was incorrect, and we had no idea what was causing the issue.

<pre>
Note: see <a href="#i945_312fix">this fix</a> for the initial fix that was found.

<b><font color="red">not working yet</font></b>
<a href="http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5885/" >http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5885/</a>

untested. will test this.
checkout 5320. cherry pick 5345 on top.
mannually apply changes from 5884/1 and 5885/3
make backlight changes as in #x60_native_notes and #t60_native_notes
test this on X60 and T60.

If it works, manually apply 5885 to 5320 alone and then push with 5320 as dependency.
Rebase that new change ID, and rebase 5345 (pushing it as new change ID).
Manually merge the rebased 5345 into the new patch, and then push that.

Boot with grub (obviosly!) and kernel 3.14.4 as before (with 17fec8a left untouched!).

Note: tidy these notes! (so others can follow)

get those logs:
Make a copy of these files:
 * /var/log/dmesg
 * /var/log/kern.log
 * /var/log/Xorg.0.log
 * /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (If you have to restart gdm)
 * /proc/ioports
 * /proc/iomem
Record these outputs:
 * sudo intel_reg_dumper
 * uname -r
 * lspci -vvnn
Do this first: <b>$ sudo modprobe msr</b> (then do as below):
 * sudo inteltool -a       --> in coreboot/src/util/inteltool
Make a copy of:
 * coreboot serial output log.
 --> Get it from serial port, or get it like that:
 --> <b>./cbmem -c</b> (under coreboot/util/cbmem)
Output from source tree:
$ git log -p | head -150       (localhost/x60gitlog)
$ git diff								(localhost/x60gitdiff)
Make a copy of the .config from coreboot source tree
 ^										(localhost/x60config)
3D acceleration test (test if 3.12+/stolenmem issue is fixed):
 - Run openarena (1024x768 res), say if it works. (note: Press tilde, do <b>/cg_drawfps 1</b>)
 - Run tuxcart (1024x768 res), say if it works.
 - Run neverball (1024x768 res), say if it works.
 - Run glxgears, report what you see.

Some results on the X60 (3D still doesn't work, openarena and tuxkart were slow): 
<a href="dumps/5885_logs.tar.gz">5885_logs.tar.gz</a>
git diff: http://paste.debian.net/102618/

In src/northbridge/intel/i945/raminit.c
PaulePanter: vimuser: In your next step could you please add
PaulePanter: printk(BIOS_DEBUG, "BSM = 0x%08x\n", pci_read_config32(PCI_DEV(0,2,0), BSM));
PaulePanter: before
PaulePanter: pci_write_config32(PCI_DEV(0,2,0), BSM, (tolud * MiB - 64 * MiB) & 0xfff00000);
done
Also removing the #if statement around those 2 lines above.
Also adding it after that line aswell, per advice from PaulePanter

Some new results on the X60 after doing the above (3D still doesn't work, openarena and tuxkart were slow): 
<a href="dumps/5885_logs_2.tar.gz">5885_logs_2.tar.gz</a>

PaulePanter: vimuser: No idea if you can write with `devmem2`. Never used it.
PaulePanter: vimuser: It would indeed be interesting to know what value the BSM has with the vendor BIOS.
Note to self: do that.

PaulePanter said: I have `& 0xfff00000` and phcoder uses `& 0xfffff000`, so it looks like I have the ordering incorrect.


Look at that discussion:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2014-May/046309.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2014-May/046310.html
--> if BSM register is read-only, then is there something els ethat we might have missed?

note: read below.
and note: on later kernels they also can't seem to init the GPU properly without vbios or native gfx, whereas older kernels could.

PaulePanter: damo22: There is also a Linux and coreboot native graphics incompatibility documented in the Wiki (by samnob).
PaulePanter: http://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x60#Problems_in_native_graphics_code_exposed_by_recent_kernels
vimuser: PaulePanter, that only exists with kernel 3.12 and above. 
PaulePanter: vimuser: Do you have time to report it to the Freedesktop Bugzilla?
funfunctor:  patrickg: I think its related to recent changes we had done to toolchain.in
vimuser: Yes. What info do you need ?
PaulePanter: vimuser: It’s a regressions and these are normally not allowed with Linux’ no regression policy.
vimuser: What do you think would happen then, after I made that report?
PaulePanter: vimuser: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs
vimuser: You can look at it 2 ways: kernel broke, or kernel fixed a bug which broke coreboot.
PaulePanter: vimuser: Hopefully they’ll fix it.
vimuser: so: either coreboot is broken, or kernel is broken. 
vimuser: PaulePanter, kernel 3.12+ should work just fine on lenovo bios, so my opinion is that the native gfx in coreboot is what's buggy.
PaulePanter: vimuser: You can also check with the developers in #intel-gfx. But first report the bug so you can reference it.
vimuser: Do you think I should just copy what's in the coreboot wiki already?
PaulePanter: vimuser: Does not matter. If it worked before 3.12, it should work afterward.
vimuser: It seems pretty complete (as far as reporting it is concerned).
vimuser: PaulePanter, my basic point is that I'm on the fence as to whether this is linux's problem, coreboot's problem, or both.
PaulePanter: vimuser: That would probably help. If they need other information, the Intel folks will ask you for it. Daniel Vetter and the other Intel folks are very responsive in my experience.
vimuser: So you think then that there would be a patch specifically for i915 + coreboot_native_init
PaulePanter: vimuser: I do not know. They hopefully figure it out.
vimuser: PaulePanter, I will do it.
PaulePanter: vimuser: And as I wrote, it is a regression. As far as I understood it, even if the firmware/hardware is broken, Linux should not introduce regressions.
vimuser: PaulePanter: at the very least, it might offer a new perspective. this whole issue has been very one-sided so far: it has only been coreboot community that talks about it. It has probably gone unobserved in kernel/intel community.
vimuser: The intel/kernel people might even be able to (easily) spot a fix for coreboot.
vimuser: I hadn't even considered this possibility before, I thought it was only a coreboot problem. Talking to those other people definitely makes sense.

PaulePanter of #coreboot made the initial report to Freedesktop tracker:

PaulePanter: vimuser: Hi. Did you report the Linux regression to the Freedesktop bug tracker?
PaulePanter: vimuser: Understood. Do you have an account for the Freedesktop bug tracker?
vimuser: PaulePanter: I do not have an account for Freedesktop bug tracker, but I think I could get one?
PaulePanter: vimuser: Yes, it is easy to register.
vimuser: PaulePanter, there's reporting and there's reporting properly; I want to compile my report first, before I make it. 
PaulePanter: vimuser: As you do not know what they need, I think it is the wrong approach.
vimuser: Since the people that I am reporting to will be unfamiliar with the issue, and might not even know about coreboot, or only vaguely know.
PaulePanter: vimuser: I’ll report the issue and give you the URL. You can then add to it.
vimuser: PaulePanter: Good point. I can make it brief describing it as best I can, and then I can answer any specific questions.
vimuser: PaulePanter, you can use my notes at http://libreboot.org/howto.html#kernel312bugs if you like, it's a collection of insights plus links to those pages on the coreboot wiki that talk about the issue.
vimuser: (in case there is anything in the notes that might be helpful)
vimuser: PaulePanter, are the intel i915 devs of freedesktop also the ones working on the i915 code in kernel.org? (I'm slightly confused about this)

THE REPORT:

PaulePanter: vimuser: The Wiki talks about crashes.
PaulePanter: vimuser: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79038

PaulePanter: vimuser: The Wiki talks about crashes.
PaulePanter: vimuser: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79038
vimuser: PaulePanter, thanks. I'll add to it and help any way I can.
PaulePanter: vimuser: Add `drm.debug=0x06` to the Linux command line (probably configuring in GRUB) and please add `/var/log/dmesg` to the bug report. (Or the output of `dmesg`.)
PaulePanter: vimuser: They also need `/var/log/Xorg.0.log` and your distribution and exact Linux kernel version `uname -r`.
vimuser: PaulePanter: there are basically 2 versions of native init: 3998 (based on replay, only works on X60 with XGA screen - also what libreboot currently uses) and 5320 (much better, works on more screens, 5345 can use it to enable T60 - not yet in libreboot)
vimuser: PaulePanter: should I do this test on both versions? (libreboot and coreboot+5320+5345)

vimuser: PaulePanter: should I do this test on both versions? (libreboot and coreboot+5320+5345)
vimuser: PaulePanter: nonetheless, I will do both, and make that report for you now.
vimuser: Do I do this on pre-3.12 kernel or 3.12+ ?
PaulePanter: vimuser: I’d say Linux 3.12+.
PaulePanter: vimuser: Do you know which coreboot patches samnob used?

vimuser: PaulePanter: very well. http://jxself.org/linux-libre has latest kernels
vimuser: I will install that.
vimuser: I do not know what coreboot patches samnob used. Probably 3998 (this was a long time ago).
vimuser: Definitely change ID 3998 (review.coreboot.org gerrit): http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/3998/


vimuser: PaulePanter: here is the information that you requested: http://libreboot.org/logs/3998_Xorg.0.log http://libreboot.org/logs/3998_dmesg http://libreboot.org/logs/3998_uname
vimuser: PaulePanter: that bug in the report doesn't happen with the above -- it's an older kernel. 
vimuser: Do they want me to try 3.12+ instead?
vimuser: PaulePanter: you should also give them these links to the lastest code for native graphics:
vimuser: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5320/

PaulePanter: vimuser: Thank you for getting the logs. Please register and upload the files yourself.
vimuser: Yes, ok. I will also get the same logs again for a kernel that is broken (3.12+)
vimuser: I will repeat both processes again for coreboot+5320+5345, as currently I am getting these on libreboot. 
vimuser: More logs can't hurt, the worst that can happen is they will ignore the ones they don't need. I want to make sure they have everything they need.

samnob: vimuser: samnoble.org/thinkpad/kernel/linux-image-3.14.4-gnuowen_1_i386.deb and http://samnoble.org/thinkpad/kernel/linux-image-3.14.4-gnu-stolenmem-owen_1_i386.deb latest linux-libre without and with 17fec8a reverted.
PaulePanter: vimuser: Thanks.

vimuser: samnob, thanks.
vimuser: but we are trying to get kernel 3.12+ to work without users having to patch it
vimuser: either by fixing coreboot, or patching around coreboot in the kernel
vimuser: eventually both
samnob: Yes, just providing you kernels for the bug.
vimuser: ah right. 
vimuser: with and without. that is useful. i was going to use jxself kernels. that is useful.
vimuser: I'll use yours then ;)
vimuser: dpkg -i ?

samnob: Though based on the devs comment in the bug I think you're hope of the driver working around it is unlikely.
vimuser: can't hurt to try
samnob: dpkg -i will work fine.
samnob: (though gdebi is more fun.)
samnob: there's a version symlink_hook in that same folder that is handy for grub2 payload users too.
vimuser: samnob we think it might be classed under linux "no regression" policy
vimuser: PaulePanter's idea
samnob: can't hurt to try :)

Here is the debugging results then: <a href="coreboot_native_3.12_bug.tar.gz" >coreboot_native_3.12_bug.tar.gz</a>

http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20131120060004 was suggested
(also refer back te the datasheet)

I have since been alerted to this bug report, which is unrelated to us
but shows that 3.12 also breaks later systems on Lenovo BIOS (as far as I can tell):

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71391

PaulePanter:  vimuser: If you run the Lenovo X60 right now, could you just paste it now. It should not change between all your tests.
PaulePanter:  vimuser: It would really be helpful to have it now.
vimuser: My workstation X60 is running coreboot+5320 (and modification for backlight control support)
vimuser: Shall I take iomem output from that?
vimuser: kernel 3.2 is in use
PaulePanter:  vimuser: Yes. Please.
vimuser: For you record:
vimuser: $ uname -r
vimuser: 3.2.0-56-generic-pae

---------------

PaulePanter: patrickg: As the resident i945 export, do you know where the register GBSM (Graphics Base of Stolen Memory) should be set?
PaulePanter: patrickg: Is the VGA Option ROM responsible for that?
PaulePanter: damo22: You do not see any problems with the VGA Option ROM, right?
damo22: PaulePanter: i am running vga rom with updated kernel (after the patch) and experience no problems with video
PaulePanter: damo22: Thank you for the confirmation.
PaulePanter: src/northbridge/intel/i945/northbridge.c:       printk(BIOS_SPEW, "Base of stolen memory: 0x%08x\n",
patrickg:  PaulePanter: what's that, 0x5c?
patrickg:  h, no
PaulePanter: + /* Almost universally we can find the Graphics Base of Stolen Memory
PaulePanter: + * at offset 0x5c in the igfx configuration space. On a few (desktop)patrickg:  PaulePanter: I think we never configured that but left it to vgabios
patrickg:  PaulePanter: we only configured the RAM side
PaulePanter: patrickg: Thanks. So with native VGA init, coreboot needs to do that too.
<b><font color="red">damo22: we just need to write the gfxstolen base to gma config space at 0x5c</font></b>
damo22: that should fix it
damo22: because then the kernel will try to read that
damo22: hmm but if the generation of the gma is not >=3 it will assume it is above top of memory
patrickg:  well, it is
damo22: patrickg: do you happen to know if the x60 gma is generation 2 or 3? how do i find out
PaulePanter: damo22: lspci ?
damo22: (rev 0x)?
PaulePanter: lspci -nn
damo22: never mind i will ctags the kernel tree
patrickg:  but bbl
patrickg:  damo22: code.metager.de applies openGrok on tons of open source projects. probably to linux, too
damo22: thanks patrickg
damo22: okay, i945g/gm is generation 3
damo22: its nothing to do with the lscpi revision
PaulePanter: damo22: How did you check that?
PaulePanter: … it is 3rd gen?
damo22: PaulePanter: its in the i915_drv.c in the kernel
damo22: eg, i965g/gm is generation 4
PaulePanter: Ok.
damo22: its also NOT valleyview
* pl4nkton is now known as pl4nkton`away
PaulePanter: damo22: ?
PaulePanter: Who said that?
damo22: im trying to figure out which path the kernel takes before and after the patch
damo22: it must be different
PaulePanter: damo22: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79038#c12
PaulePanter: damo22: Before they calculate it manually and afterward they read out that register, which the firmware should program, right?
PaulePanter: src/northbridge/intel/i945/i945.h:#define TOLUD         0x9c    /* Top of Low Used Memory */
PaulePanter: Off topic, how do I make Vim and Ctags jump to the correct header definition. If I Ctrl + click on `TOLUD` in `src/northbridge/intel/i945/raminit.c` it jumps into the header of `intel/fsp_sandybridge/northbridge.h` instead of `src/northbridge/intel/i945/i945.h`.
PaulePanter: ?
damo22: i have the same problem, there is a way to configure it to pop up a list of matches so you can select the right one but i dont know how
PaulePanter: damo22: Ok. Good to know I am not the only one.
<b><font color="red">
damo22: okay, so for gen 3 i915, (i945/m) we can do what i said above and it should work
PaulePanter: Is “graphics datastolen memory size (PCI Device 0 offset 52 bits 7:4)” configurable and programmed by the firmware or is it fixed if the IGP is enabled and can just be read?
PaulePanter: damo22: Yes.
damo22: its just a matter of setting the base address in the register
damo22: i think the only difference is that in the kernel it is assumed that it is aligned to 0x100000
damo22: kernel does this: base &= ~((1<<20) - 1);
damo22: but coreboot does this: pci_read_config32(dev, 0x5c) & ~0xf,
damo22: possibly a one liner
damo22: change ~0xf to ~0xfffff lol
samnob: vimuser: samnoble.org/thinkpad/kernel/linux-image-3.14.4-gnu-stolenmem-owen_2_i386.deb and linux-image-3.14.4-gnuowen_2_i386.deb with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM unset. No PAE as always.
samnob: damo22: thanks for looking into this.
</font></b>
vimuser: damo22: you are the most awesome person ever. I'm stilll preparing my dev/debugging environment and you speculate this already. I will try it soon.
vimuser: samnob: thank you for confirming.
vimuser: samnob: ok, /dev/mem support and non-PAE. excellent! 
samnob: vimuser: don't overlook that revision 2 those, are new debs with STRICT_DEVMEM unset
damo22: vimuser: its much quicker to read and compare code than to compile kernels and flash firmware
PaulePanter: vimuser: I think your testing is not needed until you get a patch.
PaulePanter: damo22: TOLUD (PCI Device 0 offset BCh bits 31:20)
vimuser: PaulePanter ?
vimuser: Yes I understand that. I was about to debug, but now we will test damo22's advice first.
damo22: PaulePanter: i think intel_gma_init is being called with unaligned physical address for graphics mem

PaulePanter: vimuser: BDSM—Base Data of Stolen Memory Register
PaulePanter: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/3rd-gen-core-desktop-vol-2-datasheet.pdf

PaulePanter: vimuser: The methods you try just read it out and never set it.
PaulePanter: This register contains the base address of graphics data stolen DRAM memory. BIOS determines the base of graphics data stolen memory by subtracting the graphics data stolen memory size (PCI Device 0 offset 52 bits 7:4) from TOLUD (PCI Device 0 offset BCh bits 31:20).
damo22: PaulePanter: im pretty sure BDSM is only present in core iX cpus
vimuser: PaulePanter, yes my method was to go about to be sure where it is set, and then try to set it properly in 5320. 
PaulePanter: vimuser: The problem is already present with native graphics in coreboot master, isn’t it?
vimuser: damo22 took a shorter method to get the same result (hopefully. like you, i wait for him to confirm or deny success)
vimuser: PaulePanter, yes the 3.12+ glitches exist in 5320 changeset aswell as 3998 (the old replay version, which 5320 is a re-write of)
PaulePanter: vimuser: Sorry, I claim your tests would have never gotten any solution for the problem.
* martinr (~martin@8.36.227.227) has joined #coreboot
vimuser: PaulePanter, that is quite possible, but it was a test anyway. 
PaulePanter: damo22: Chris Wilson and the Linux commit say that the BDSM is present, don’t they?
PaulePanter: + if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen >= 3) {
PaulePanter: + /* Read Graphics Base of Stolen Memory directly */
vimuser: I actually did find where the stolen memory address was set, in /var/log/kern.log after using drm.debug=0x06 in those previous results i uploaded to freedesktop.org, but that was on coreboot/5320 with the address set incorrectly.
vimuser: just search for the word "stolen" in the log and you'll find it on one of the lines.

PaulePanter: vimuser: It’s not *set* it is *read* in there.
vimuser: Oh right.
vimuser: But I thought when reading it, it has to know the address. So the address I saw must have been what was set?
vimuser: What am I missing?
damo22: okay so there is something to clarify, i915 driver is the same for all intel gpus even some that are physically located in cpu

PaulePanter: vimuser: As it is not explicitely set beforehand it contains some incorrect value, which is then read.
PaulePanter: vimuser: That is the whole problem.
vimuser: I see.
vimuser: So,
vimuser: my tests would have been useless, then.

<b><font color="red">damo22: it didnt work</font></b>
(note: can still try to make other changes: see testing notes below)

damo22: oh wait, X just didnt detect the LVDS
damo22: in fact nothing did
damo22: but there were no errors
damo22: ok so when i plug external monitor X freezes and gives errors
damo22: and internal display isnt active
damo22: wierd, when i rebooted i got vga fine
damo22: i think linux kernel i915 is trying to do something with vgarom because it says "invalid rom contents" as first boot line
damo22: no i need to find out if the kernel is doing something bad without rom present
damo22: and then figure out how to enable lvds, because vga is working
vimuser: drivers/pci/rom.c:   dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Invalid ROM contents\n");
vimuser: in that: size_t pci_get_rom_size(struct pci_dev *pdev, void __iomem *rom, size_t size)
vimuser:                 /* Standard PCI ROMs start out with these bytes 55 AA */
vimuser:                 if (readb(image) != 0x55) {
vimuser:                         dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Invalid ROM contents\n");
vimuser:                         break;
vimuser:                 }
damo22: i guess i should focus on the fact that coreboot did not initialise the gfx at grub screen
damo22: i mean seabios
damo22: its difficult because linux does some reinitialisation of gfx
damo22: i thought i had this one in the bag
CareBear\: damo22 : it does complete reinit
damo22: i flicked throught the kernel i915 driver and it looks like it reads VBT tables from romheaders or something
damo22: if we are using native gfx init, those are not present right?
samnob:  damo22: I think you need to be using grub2 to test native gfx init, seabios needs at least a stub of a vgarom.
CareBear\: damo22 : correct
CareBear\: samnob damo22 : if you want to use SeaBIOS you can use the SeaVGABIOS which will pick up a native framebuffer initialized by coreboot
damo22: does SeaVGABIOS install VBT stuff in the vgarom area?
CareBear\: damo22 : probably not the kind the framebuffer driver looks for
damo22: then it will fail with linux
CareBear\: damo22 : yes
damo22: CareBear\: can we write a vgabios stub that passes the signature tests and also has native VBT tables, but executes nothing?
damo22: otherwise we need to patch the linux kernel to ignore certain models that have no vgabios
CareBear\: damo22 : let's first find out what information is used in those tables
damo22: i have the code in front of me
damo22: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_bios.c (kernel)
damo22: vimuser: no, i am trawling through linux driver code
vimuser: damo22: are you aware that certain kernels can initialize the GPU on X60 without the native gfx or oprom? (you don't see payloads, but kernel/X11 shows display
damo22: i have a feeling the linux kernel currently tries to load the vgarom regardless of PCH existance

damo22: i think there are two problems with native gfx init, one problem is that the lvds isnt coming up (coreboot issue), the other is is with the linux kernel i915 driver that tries to read the vgarom that isnt there

vimuser: damo22, what hardware are you testing your changes on?
vimuser: Did you try 5320 without your changes?
vimuser: (hardware: X60 or T60)

Peter on 5320 talks about vga pipe not being enabled: this means that payload doesn't appear
on vga (only on lvds). OS can output on vga or lvds. so we need to get 5320 to output (during payload) on vga

damo22: i just slept on it, and i think i know what the problem is

         * LVDS discovery:
         * 1) check for EDID on DDC
         * 2) check for VBT data
         * 3) check to see if LVDS is already on
         *    if none of the above, no panel


1) it cant find the EDID because the i2c is failing to read with NAK
2) there is no VBT data because there is no vga option rom
3) coreboot is still not doing native init properly so the panel is still off

Therefore linux assumes there is no LVDS.

damo22: how do i enable cbmem console? i enabled it in menuconfig, do i need cbmem dynamically growing?
damo22: [*] Send console output to a CBMEM buffer\
damo22: but i got nothing

Guest-FR: Hi
Guest-FR: would you please check
Guest-FR: src/northbridge/intel/i945/gma.c
Guest-FR: function gma_func0_disable
Guest-FR: pci_write_config16(dev, GCFC, 0xa00) , sound wrong isn't it?

damo22: Guest-FR: what do you think is wrong about it?
Guest-FR: per the datasheet (intel, so probably it is also wrong!) , the value should be "0x1b"
Guest-FR: page 74
damo22: Guest-FR: can you link me to the datasheet
Guest-FR: damo22: congig16 is expecting 0x && 4 digits isn't it?
Guest-FR: damo22: e.i.: 0x1234
damo22: Guest-FR: 0xa00 === 0x0a00
damo22: same thing
Guest-FR: ok

Guest-FR: here is the link for tha datasheet http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/307502.pdf

damo22: ty
damo22: Guest-FR: i am also working on this gma
damo22: Guest-FR: i am trying to figure out why native gfx init is not working on my X60 tablet

Guest-FR: per gma.h, GCFC is  0xf0    /* Graphics Clock Frequency & Gating Control */
damo22: Guest-FR: GCFC is missing from the datasheet
damo22: so how do you know its wrong
Guest-FR: it is my mistake.... I'm expecting to see 4 digits for conf16
damo22: Guest-FR: ok, i would have expected GCFC to be on page 62 at the bottom but its missing
Guest-FR: probably we should make a dump to see the value we have with an original bios. what you think ? is it possible?
damo22: Guest-FR: however, GGC is mismatching between that datasheet and in coreboot gma
Guest-FR: intel is a fu*** company
damo22: ahh no, i looked up the wrong file
damo22: it matches
damo22: Guest-FR: i am assuming you are using patched gma to test?
Guest-FR: damo22: no, I use the original one
damo22: Guest-FR: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5320/
Guest-FR: I try to port my board to coorboot https://github.com/coreboot-for-945g-m4/945g-m4
Guest-FR: thx damo22
damo22: Guest-FR: you need extra config in devicetree.cb with that
Guest-FR: damo22: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5762/
damo22: Guest-FR: i cant view it
Guest-FR: oops, it is draft
Guest-FR: may I add you as a reviewer ?
damo22: Guest-FR: sure
Guest-FR: damo at zamodio?
damo22: correct
Guest-FR: done
Guest-FR: please feel free put comments (and be verbos, I'm not a developper :p )
Guest-FR: probably my devicetree is not good,
damo22: it still wont load
Guest-FR: damien at zamaudio.com ?
damo22: yes
damo22: ok better
Guest-FR: probably you got an email ?
Guest-FR: for a review
damo22: Guest-FR: i dont see native gfx init
damo22: are you using vgarom?
Guest-FR: I'm using a PCIE card (Radeon X300)
damo22: dont you want to try to initialise the onboard gfx?
Guest-FR: why not, I'll give it a go :)
damo22: you showed me a whole bunch of code, but what is the problem?
Guest-FR: the serial is working, but it hang on "setting up static southbridge register ..."
Guest-FR: and some times, it went to "setting up Root Complex Topology"
damo22: Guest-FR: well, look for that message in the code and find the next message that should be displayed and you know the problem is between the two messaged
Guest-FR: there is some thing unstable
damo22: messages*
Guest-FR: ok
damo22: Guest-FR: if its too hard to find, add some printk's
damo22: i could really use a tip on how to enable cbmem console
damo22: im running blind

Guest-FR:  the msg ih at  " src/northbridge/intel/i945/early_init.c " i945_setup_bars function
Guest-FR: so my problem is between "Setting up static southbridge registers..." and "Done" :)

damo22: cat .config|grep CBMEM ===> http://paste.debian.net/101541/  why do i still not have any cbmem console? "No console found in coreboot table."
content of debian paste:
CONFIG_EARLY_CBMEM_INIT=y
# CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CBMEM is not set
CONFIG_CONSOLE_CBMEM=y
CONFIG_CONSOLE_CBMEM_BUFFER_SIZE=0x20000
damo22: No coreboot CBMEM area found!
* Guest-FR (d5f5ab0b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.213.245.171.11) has joined #coreboot
Guest-FR: I'd like to understand: is there any difference betweent: pci_write_config16(LPC_DEV, 0x84, 0x0a01); + pci_write_config16(LPC_DEV, 0x86, 0x00fc); vs pci_write_config32(LPC_DEV, 0x84, 0x00fc0a01);
Guest-FR: for exemple: lenovo/x60/romstage.c we have:  pci_write_config16(PCI_DEV(0, 0x1f, 0), 0x84, 0x1601); however in the ich7 datasheet page 364 it is a  conf32

phcoder-screen: damo22: for C segment. boot with oprom, then dd if=/dev/mem bs=64k of=seg_cdef.bin skip=12 count=4
damo22: ok
damo22: is that the VBT table?
phcoder-screen: part of it is
damo22: phcoder-screen: http://www.zamaudio.com/mbox2/seg_cdef.bin
damo22: it looks correct because it mentions calistoga
damo22: phcoder-screen: as a general solution, would it be possible to write a script that takes a vgarom as input and outputs a vgarom stub that will have no executable code but still have the VBT stuff and signatures to fool the OS that real vgarom is there, and will detect panels etc
damo22: or is there a better way?

phcoder-screen: damo22: there is a better way: generate it in coreboot. I have a tool to partially parse the roms. Trying it with yours.
damo22: cool

phcoder-screen: damo22: we already need some info in device tree to init. I think we can reuse it
phcoder-screen: I can upload my parser if you want
damo22: sure, i can parse my T60 and X60t
damo22: and eventually T61
phcoder-screen: CL 5842
damo22: thanks

damo22: phcoder-screen: do you think the EDID is failing to read in linux because the VBT is missing?

phcoder-screen: damo22: it's a likely explanation. I'd reput first 64k of your dump back to place
damo22: where does it belong in the flash?
damo22: c0000?
phcoder-screen: damo22: nowhere. c0000 is in RAM
damo22: so how do i ensure it gets loaded into ram at c0000
phcoder-screen: damo22: memcpy
damo22: im convinced it will work if i do that
damo22: thats like loading the vgarom
damo22: but without executing it
phcoder-screen: damo22: yes
damo22: couldnt i just select it in menuconfig, but comment out the code that runs it?
phcoder-screen: yes
phcoder-screen: and keep in mind that oprom is self-modifying
damo22: yes so i need the final dump to load not the original
phcoder-screen: yes

Side discussion (in #libreboot, not #coreboot as above):

vimuser: damo22: what was the problem?
damo22: EDID is not being read in linux
damo22: well it is, but it fails
damo22: probably because the VBT signature is missing from the oprom
vimuser: oprom?
vimuser: You mean native init code?
vimuser: that it doesn't put the proper data in vbt
damo22: there is some special metadata in the oprom that native init doesnt put in
damo22: linux looks for it
damo22: thats how it knows where to read the EDID from
damo22: otherwise it uses a default address that could be wrong
damo22: in some cases it works
damo22: other cases like my X60t it fails
vimuser: that would explain why "read-edid" utility deosn't work on natisev gfx at the mament
vimuser: moment
vimuser: Basstard` ^

damo22: vimuser: phcoder wrote an experimental utility to parse some of the VBT tables from a vgarom
vimuser: Did he share it with you?
damo22: yes
vimuser: Did he upload it publicly?
damo22: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5842/
vimuser: Ok cool.
vimuser: Do you think I should try it?

damo22: you could use it to get more info from all your known boards, collect the parsed tables in a folder correctly named with the type of panel and the type of laptop
vimuser: So as per #coreboot, my understanding is: move to new stolen memory address, find that metadata and how it's calculated and write that (memcpy/write32) in native init, get VBT tables parsed from ROM, replicate that in native gfx (stub code, just the addresses and pointers to the native init code)
vimuser: Should this be run an a vgabios.bin, or on a system where vga bios is running (parse it in memory) ?
vimuser: or both?
damo22: we havent got a solution for native init yet, but we do need to collect info from different models
damo22: to see how they compare
vimuser: yes so, vgabios.bin (file) or running vga bios?
damo22: and also we can add it to devicetree.cb somehow later
damo22: preferably the running vgabios
vimuser: ok
damo22: you can dump it with this command:
damo22: sudo dd if=/dev/mem bs=64k of=runningvga.bin skip=12 count=1

damo22: coreboot/util/intelvbttool

damo22: gcc intelvbttool.c -o intelvbttool

vimuser: it would be good for you to run intelvbttool on vgabios.bin and runningvgabios.bin. (where vgabios.bin is extracted from lenovo rom, and runningvgabios.bin is dd'd from memory after it executed)
vimuser: right?
vimuser: (I will do the same)
vimuser: just runningvgabios.bin ?
damo22: its useless in the factory bios
damo22: for the purposes of this test
vimuser: ok
vimuser: Can't hurt though (might be useful later).
damo22: not really, it might be modified at runtime and we wont know anything about it
damo22: we need final values
damo22: the rest is irrelevant
vimuser: Yes. I was saying to run it on final dump, and factory dump.
vimuser: but ok, i will only do it for final dump

--

further discussion, continued in #coreboot:

damo22:we could generate fake_vbt arrays for each model
damo22:vimuser: whats the link to the vbt stuff again
vimuser: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5396 for X230
damo22:vimuser: no on libreboot
vimuser: I also added this to the notes at http://libreboot.org/howto.html#i945_vbt and http://libreboot.org/howto.html#intelvbttool_results for future reference.
vimuser: on libreboot? I don't understand.
damo22:its possible that the VBT is modified by the vgarom depending on the panel it detects, assuming it can do that
damo22:only problem is, you need info from the VBT to know where to read the EDID, so how does the vgarom do it?
damo22:maybe its safe to assume that the EDID i2c will be the same for all panels
vimuser: Might be hardcoded (what CareBear calls "stupid magic numbers")
damo22:so we should check all VBTs of the same laptop model and verify that the EDID i2c or ddc pin is the same for all panel types
vimuser: Sorry, when you say VBT do you mean the runningvga.bin dump taken with dd when vgarom is running?
damo22:then we can hardcode that value into the coreboot devicetree.cb

vimuser: I see. it's an i2c bus that connects lvds/vga/vga out
kmalkki:damo22: in your opinion, where is this EDID eeprom physically located?
damo22:kmalkki: on the panel, or the transformer for the panel
kmalkki:damo22: what do you think is a transformer for the panel?
damo22:some circuitry that interfaces between the lvds connector and the panel itself
damo22:on the T60 there is a separate module afaik
damo22:on other models it might be incorporated into the panel idk
damo22:kmalkki: i believe that the VBT has information regarding which pin of the i2c to read for the EDID eeprom/storage
damo22:and it varies panel to panel
kmalkki:would it surprise you DDC signals are often not on the panel connector
damo22:hmm

kmalkki:like, x60 schematics is easily available, do check on some alternative ways how these are done
damo22:ok

kmalkki:damo22: for t60 however... LCD connector does have EDID lines
damo22:kmalkki: well it would be nice to have a general solution to EDID reading
damo22:i need to understand the wiring more and the VBT
kmalkki:DDC signals originate from the graphics device
kmalkki:that will be Intel for some, ATI for some T60 ?

damo22:kmalkki: linux expects the VBT to be in the vgarom memory area, because it uses it to identify when a panel exists, so coreboot should provide VBT like a vendor bios ?

damo22:when vgarom is used with coreboot there is no problem , but for native gfx init it doesnt always work
kmalkki:ok.. so we can ignore ATI case for now
damo22:kmalkki: is that because no native init will be done for that case?
damo22:so the vgarom will always work
kmalkki:ok.. so do you know VBT format?
damo22:kmalkki: phcoder has done lots of work on it already
kmalkki:and.. is there a problem in reading the EDID?
damo22:kmalkki: idk yet, i need to test
damo22:im having trouble building a coreboot rom that uses coreboots native framebuffer so i can see if it worked
damo22:linux reinits the gfx so its not a good test
damo22:but in any case, without the VBT, linux cant reinit my gfx
damo22:it fails to read the EDID
damo22:and without a dock, and cbmem console isnt working, i cant get the coreboot log to check what actually happened
kmalkki:what do you mean cbmem console not working?
damo22:kmalkki: i enabled it in menuconfig and built a rom, but when i run it on my X60t cbmem -c reports No console found
kmalkki:we should get it fixed then
kmalkki:paste your .config
damo22:http://paste.debian.net/101644/

kmalkki:git hash is from local tree.. it does work on master, right?
damo22:idk
damo22:i just cherry picked some native gfx patches
damo22:why would it affect cbmem console
kmalkki:mess up MTRRs or memory space mapping or UMA region...
damo22:ok
kmalkki:are those patches on gerrit you picked?
damo22:well i need these patches because that is why i need the console
damo22:yes
damo22:actually i did minor changes too
damo22::S
kmalkki:yep.. which patches exactly
damo22:5320
damo22:then i changed 2 lines
damo22:a minor devicetree.cb line and this:
damo22:-       intel_gma_init(conf, pci_read_config32(dev, 0x5c) & ~0xf,
damo22:+       intel_gma_init(conf, pci_read_config32(dev, 0x5c) & ~0xfffff,
kmalkki:ok.. also paste 'git log' so I find common hash from master
damo22:http://paste.debian.net/101645/

damo22:does anyone have better google xen than me, i cant seem to find a pdf of x60 schematics
Basstard' damo22: Do you mean this? http://www.computerservice.es/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/IBM-X60.pdf

damo22:yep thanks
kmalkki:and now that I am awake, I see DDC signals on x60 LCD too
kmalkki:just.. no DDC or I2C in the signal name but EDID
damo22:yeah
damo22:what bus does the lvds connector use
damo22:is that i2c?
damo22:or should i say, how standard is that lcd connector they are using on the X60
kmalkki:mainboard side is completely non-standard AFAIK
damo22:ohhh
kmalkki:panel side has a few variants on the LVDS input
damo22:ok
damo22:this is not easy to generalise then
damo22:SPWG_EDID_CLK and SPWG_EDID_DATA are the signals i found on the connector

kmalkki:yes. and it looks like phcoder-screen has done all the work to read the EDID
damo22:yes but the address and pins required are stored in the VBT i think
kmalkki:solve your CBMEM console, please
damo22:yea
Basstard' damo22: Here's a cleaner one: http://pdf.datasheetarchive.com/indexerfiles/Datasheets-USER/DSAUPLD00006054.pdf
kmalkki:just verify 1315730 works
damo22:1315730?

GNUtoo-irssi: vimuser: hi, 0x58BF58BE works fine --- cool. (not related to these discussions, but GNUtoo is happy).

<a name="gnutoo_gtt"></a>
GNUtoo-irssi: phcoder-screen: if you're still working on native GPU init for i945(it seems so), I've an observation:
GNUtoo-irssi: gtt is not setup correctly anymore with your versions, the kenrel complains
GNUtoo-irssi: it was with a replay version, so if you're still working on it it may be an usefull hint
GNUtoo-irssi: I've added the code that works inside git, so if you want/need it, ping me
phcoder-screen:damo22: yes
GNUtoo-irssi: beside the kernel warning, the effect is slow 3D with a 3.10 lts kernel
damo22:GNUtoo-irssi: can you push it as a notformerge?
GNUtoo-irssi: ok, good idea
GNUtoo-irssi: ah sigh, again...
GNUtoo-irssi:  ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/master/NOTFORMERGE-reference-i915_gpu_init-x60 (change 3992 closed)
GNUtoo-irssi: I'll change the IDs
damo22:GNUtoo-irssi: have you seen 5230?
damo22:5320*
phcoder-screen:damo22: rank 0 of either channel is configured but not rank 1
GNUtoo-irssi: let me look
GNUtoo-irssi: I've tried some recent branch for the t60
GNUtoo-irssi: it works well, beside the gtt init issue I just described
damo22:GNUtoo-irssi: given that you were working on 3992 which is closed are you able to rebase your changes on top of 5320?
damo22:hmm 3992 was merged
damo22:phcoder-screen: my dimms are dual rank
<stefanct> GNUtoo-irssi: i am not too familiar with gerrit, but that error message seems to indicate that you should not try to push 3992 again because it is already merged... rebasing the remains of your changes on top of that (or origin/master) should fix that *i guess*

(note: this is old code, not *directly* useful but might be useful later. put this somewhere else in howto.html later)

GNUtoo-irssi: done, NOTFORMERGE-reference-i915_gpu_init-x60
GNUtoo-irssi: yes, I've removed the Ids
GNUtoo-irssi: so they were regenerated
GNUtoo-irssi: the goal is not to rebase at all here
GNUtoo-irssi: that's a reference code
GNUtoo-irssi: it's not for merge either
GNUtoo-irssi: If I start modifying it, I'll need to spend time testing it again
GNUtoo-irssi: I've no time right now
GNUtoo-irssi: maybe I'll have later in theses two weeks
GNUtoo-irssi: but not right now
damo22:GNUtoo-irssi: mainboard/lenovo/x60/i915* has been removed in favour of northbridge/intel/i945/gma.c in 5320
damo22:i thought you had changes for that
GNUtoo-irssi: yes, I know
GNUtoo-irssi: what I just pushed is a *reference code* where the GTT setup works
GNUtoo-irssi: it's old
GNUtoo-irssi: it's not meant to be merged
GNUtoo-irssi: it's not rebased
GNUtoo-irssi: it's just frozen code where it's known to work
GNUtoo-irssi: that's all

damo22:ok
GNUtoo-irssi: it doesn't even handle backlight
GNUtoo-irssi: even with devmem2...
damo22:i'll see if i can find the gtt stuff and compare to 5320
damo22:could be a one liner
damo22:physbase -> uma_memory_base+256*KiB
phcoder-screen:damo22: yes and rank 1 config failed
damo22:phcoder-screen: ok, so i'll get you that mchbar dump
phcoder-screen:damo22: no need yet. I found out that in another ram config my X230 fails as well. I'll investigate this first

kmalkki:GNUtoo-irssi: please abandon the duplicates in your gerrit space
kmalkki:also any microcode files will not be removed until working copies are in 3rdparty/

kmalkki:we probably want to keep the old version in gerrit, with all the comments made previously

damo22:kmalkki: all those patches are noformerge
damo22:not*
kmalkki:damo22: still they are duplicates of already reviewed patches
kmalkki:why the heck the new change-ids
damo22:maybe a git diff to a pastebin would have been better

GNUtoo-irssi: ls
GNUtoo-irssi: oops
<uberushaximus> hunter2
kmalkki:GNUtoo-irssi: please explain your motivation to push that stuff on gerrit
kmalkki:it is not even rebased to current but 6 months old HEAD
GNUtoo-irssi: GTT is setup badly on x60
GNUtoo-irssi: with the recent changes from phcoder
GNUtoo-irssi: what I pushed is a version that is known to have the GTT setup correctly
GNUtoo-irssi: it's for reference
GNUtoo-irssi: so people working on i945 native GPU init would use it to fix that issue faster
GNUtoo-irssi: like diff both
GNUtoo-irssi: or something like that
GNUtoo-irssi: kmalkki: do you have a better description for the topic branch name that describe what I just said?
kmalkki:well gerrit is not for the purpose of storing references
kmalkki:most of those patches already had Change-IDs
kmalkki:now we have duplicates.. and comments can end up in either place
kmalkki:it was already a havoc with native init before
GNUtoo-irssi: ok, so instead I should remove that branch, and push on gitorious?
kmalkki:all of You working on it, try to work a setup that suits you all well
GNUtoo-irssi: briefly: it's for tracking a regression

kmalkki:well I do not do i915 gfx stuff.. but clearly you have a lot of problems trying to keep and follow each others work
kmalkki:and what works and where the regressions have happened
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: Hi. Do you know if the amount memory reserved for i945 IGD is always constant or if that is configurable?
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: I did not see a table in the 3rd Gen datasheet.
PaulePanter: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/3rd-gen-core-family-mobile-vol-2-datasheet.pdf
GNUtoo-irssi: PaulePanter: you mean the GSM?
GNUtoo-irssi: (Graphics stolen memory)
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: Yes.

PaulePanter: Section 2.5.33 BDSM—Base Data of Stolen Memory Register
GNUtoo-irssi: If I remmeber well it's configurable, but we use the values advised by the datasheet
GNUtoo-irssi: which are derived from the ammount of RAM
PaulePanter: This register contains the base address of graphics data stolen DRAM memory. BIOS determines the base of graphics data stolen memory by subtracting the graphics data stolen memory size (PCI Device 0 offset 52 bits 7:4) from TOLUD (PCI Device 0 offset BCh bits 31:20).
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: Yes, I am unable to find the advised values.
damo22:PaulePanter: are you sure thats the right datasheet for the cpu inside the X60?

GNUtoo-irssi: ok
GNUtoo-irssi: I can look
PaulePanter: damo22: Not 100 %.
damo22:afaik, BSDM is something kinky in the core iX processors
GNUtoo-irssi: uma_size = 1024;
PaulePanter: Chris Wilson from the Intel graphics Linux driver team said that BDSM ist incorrectly set up.
PaulePanter: … on the i945.
PaulePanter: … by coreboot.
PaulePanter: This is Volume 2 of the Datasheet for the following products:
PaulePanter: Mobile 3rd Generation Intel ® CoreTM processor family
GNUtoo-irssi: in pci_domain_set_resources in northbridge.c
PaulePanter: Mobile Intel ® Pentium ® processor family
GNUtoo-irssi: ok
PaulePanter: Mobile Intel ® Celeron ® processor family
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: Thanks. So it is constant for now.
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: So just 1 MB graphics memory?

damo22:i dont remember him mentioning BDSM in the bug report, but he did say the GTT was incorrectly set up?
damo22:graphics stolen stuff
GNUtoo-irssi: no it's not
GNUtoo-irssi: read the function
PaulePanter: “Stolen memory has been set up incorrectly by coreboot.”
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: Ok.
PaulePanter: GNUtoo-irssi: No idea, if you are aware of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79038 .

GNUtoo-irssi: that is the regression ^^^^
GNUtoo-irssi: See PGTBL_ER
GNUtoo-irssi: The bits are documented
damo22:i have compared GNUtoo-irssi's patchset with the 5320 stuff that phcoder did, and i found that 1 line needs to be changed
GNUtoo-irssi: (I don't remember where, probably in the datasheet that applies to the more recent GPUs (sic))

damo22:its the base address of the gma init call

PaulePanter: damo22: Are you going to push a patch for testing?

damo22:but in order for it to work you need vgarom with native init, it doesnt run the rom just uses it for VBT
PaulePanter: damo22: I still not see how that should fix the error, but we’ll see.
damo22:how do i squash my commits into one patch that can be applied to 5320?
PaulePanter: damo22: Is that patch really dependent on 5320? I thought it is also needed for the current native graphics init in the tree?

PaulePanter: damo22: `git rebase -i
PaulePanter: `
PaulePanter: damo22: git rebase -i commit-hash-of-5320
damo22:thanks
PaulePanter: damo22: To squash you will need to change `pick` to `f` or `s` for `fixup` or `squash`.

damo22:i have a patch that could be tested on X60: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/5868/
PaulePanter: damo22: On Nehalem:
PaulePanter: src/northbridge/intel/nehalem/gma.c:            intel_gma_init(conf, gtt_res->base, physbase, pio_res->base,
PaulePanter: src/northbridge/intel/nehalem/gma.c-                           lfb_res->base);
damo22:PaulePanter: i fail to see relevance of nehalem in i945
PaulePanter: damo22: Hopefully the code can be written in a way that common paths are written the same.
PaulePanter: damo22: Let’s first see if the patch fixes it.

PaulePanter: damo22: By the way, which datasheet do you think is correct for the Intel 945 IGD in the Lenovo T60 and X60?

damo22:whichever datasheet includes 945PM (Calistoga) Graphics
damo22:is it PM or GM?
PaulePanter: damo22: I thought GM.
damo22:PM has no integrated graphics so it must be GM
PaulePanter: damo22: Document Number: 309219-006
damo22:PaulePanter: this must be the datasheet: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/mobile-945-express-chipset-datasheet.pdf

PaulePanter: Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family
PaulePanter: damo22: ;-)

damo22:309219-006 is correct
PaulePanter: Graphics Stolen Memory and TSEG are within DRAM space defined under TOLUD. From
kmalkki:PaulePanter: did you go through the list of patches in your gerrit space that I suggested needed rebase?
PaulePanter: the top of low used DRAM, (G)MCH claims 1 to 64 MBs of DRAM for internal graphics if
PaulePanter: enabled.
PaulePanter: kmalkki: I thought I did go through most of them.
kmalkki:do you have the list
kmalkki:I did not keep copy :/
kmalkki:5388
kmalkki:that is AMR
PaulePanter: kmalkki: Don’t waste you time with it. I have a copy of your list somewhere and will go through it in the next days.
kmalkki:PaulePanter: +1 5388
damo22:PaulePanter: its an integrated GMA 950 afaik
idwer: oh... 5388 has no priority whatsover to me
idwer: not anymore ;)

damo22:does GM45 support in coreboot have ddr2 AND ddr3 support?

damo22:well that means X200 could be ported with ME disabled
phcoder-screen:damo22: that's my next fun project after raminit for ivy.
* thomasg_ is now known as thomasg

damo22:vimuser: LTN150XG-L08 is my T60 EDID string (for his T60 15" -- this is already noted below in intelvbttool results)

vimuser: damo22: ok, i should test 5868? I understand it puts the vgarom inside but without running it (just for getting VBT tables) but latre we could replace it with something like what the X230 "Deploy VBT" does
damo22:yeah
vimuser: Let me read backlog...
damo22:vimuser: you dont need backlog, everything you need is in the 5868 commit
vimuser: how did your X60t unbricking go, damo22?
damo22:havent bothered finding my screwdrivers yet
vimuser: I need to.... tidy myself up. Back in an hour or so.
vimuser: damo22: upload a ROM for me, with 5868 and grub payload
vimuser: I'll test it for you
damo22:im not good with grub payloads
damo22:i can give you one with seabios
vimuser: ok give me that,
vimuser: also hm ok, give me your .config. I'll add grub myself
damo22:ok

damo22:you need to still add the vgabios filename
damo22:CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_FILE="vgabios.bin" is the current setting
damo22:# CONFIG_CONSOLE_CBMEM is not set woops

vimuser: damo22 »       register "gpu_lvds_is_dual_channel" = "1"
vimuser: on x60/devicetree.cb
damo22:vimuser: well check your VBT i think its correct though
vimuser: so 0 was wrong?
damo22:it might depend on panel

vimuser: Oh
vimuser: I get it now.
vimuser: I didn't see any code in 5868 that executes anything from the vgarom but,
vimuser: you set coreboot to load it into memory, but not execute it.
vimuser: I thought "load" only meant put it in cbfs
vimuser: is this a correct assessment?
vimuser: To let kernel find vbt tables.
vimuser: And then we "fake" it later (withotu vga rom loaded).
vimuser: damo22: are you testing 5868 on your X60t?
damo22:vimuser: its to make linux kernel detect lvds after native init, but if you can also test coreboot native framebuffer with grub too, that would be handy

vimuser: So, vgarom has nothing to do with that patch.
vimuser: ?
vimuser: All I see is a change of stolen memory address, and the backlight values added
damo22:vimuser: its tricky because the final vgabios in memory changes depending on the panel, because vgarom is self modifying

vimuser: So should I include the vgarunning.bin instead of vgabios.bin ?
damo22:yes

damo22:vimuser: if you can load grub as payload and you see something, its a success
vimuser: damo22: the problem is, without that patch I just use 5320 as-is, and I see grub as payload already.
vimuser: Hence my question above.
damo22:vimuser: also, if you can boot into linux after that and dont get any error messages from drm module, its a double success
vimuser: Which error messages (besides "Invalid ROM contents") am I looking for?
damo22:vimuser: stuff like, page fault
vimuser: And should I enable any specific debugging options (such as drm.debug=0x06)
damo22:yes that would help
vimuser: Ok: which logs do you want?
vimuser: I'll upload it for your reference
damo22:vimuser: kernel boot log and Xorg.0.log, coreboot log if possible
vimuser: probably kern.log and Xorg.0.log
vimuser: coreboot log is possible, i have dock.
vimuser: anything else?
damo22:that is all, thanks
vimuser: ok. will do.

vimuser: damo22: I could test this on T60 aswell by cherry picking 5345, right?
damo22:vimuser: idk
vimuser: (and addinf backlight value to deivcetree)
vimuser: We should devise a way to test this on T60 aswell.
damo22:vimuser: lets just see if the x60 fix works

damo22:it still needs work if the test passes
vimuser: Ok but, you just have that one line changed in gma.c, and backlight value changed it x60/devicetree.cb
damo22:yes
damo22:phcoder did most of the work
vimuser: So, I could run this same test on T60 by cherry picking 5345 on top of 5868, changing t60/devicetree.cb's backlight value and including T60 runningvga.bin and having that load (but not execute)
damo22:its a small bug i think
vimuser: I will do that above, after X60 is tested.
damo22:vimuser: youre always talking about more and more combinations of tests, lets just get one right
vimuser: Yes. Just a thought. We'll test X60 exclusively. T60 can easily be tested later.
vimuser: Ok..... back soon. I'll get you the results you wanted. I'll be using 3.14.4 (the one samnob made).
damo22:thanks

vimuser: We should do this with the latest runningvga.bin (from extracting with dd on the latest vgabios.bin)
vimuser: My one is older
damo22:vimuser: version number of vgabios is irrelevant if it was taken from a lenovo bios that used to run on your machine, and since pulled from ram
damo22:ie, it should have the correct VBT values
damo22:for your machine
