Koodamntmn: your tweets about an audio interface for a phone reminds me of my audio player. A friend gave it to me because the broke it, but only the screen was damaged, I installed Rockbox on it with voice synthesis, it’s perfectly usable now. :D15:06

truck_any caveats to the build system I should know about?  (:16:57

mntmntruck_: write me if any problems pop up!17:37
Koodamntmn: any idea why sway wouldn’t show the external display when I ask it? (get_outputs)17:41
Kooda(I ran the display script and rebooted)17:41
mntmnKooda: did you boot with the hdmi display connected?17:42
KoodaYep17:42
truck_do you have wlr-randr installed?17:44
- scops (QUIT: Quit: Leaving) (~scops@p200300da372135000219b8fffe08ddc1.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)17:46
truck_(if so: see if it's detecting the screen?  Yes, it SHOULD use the same mechanism as swaymsg -t get_outputs, but...)17:46
+ scops (~scops@p200300da372135000219b8fffe08ddc1.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)17:46
KoodaI can try :)17:46
* truck_ -> truck17:46
KoodaYep same17:53
KoodaWhat surprises me is that both these tools say that the internal display is still at 70Hz17:53
KoodaI thought it would be lower with HDMI enabled.17:54
Koodahttp://lxp.fr/p4zn12Xhok18:02
mntmnKooda: what's ls /dev/fb* ?18:30
mntmnKooda: what's ls /dev/dri ?18:30
Koodahttp://lxp.fr/p4zo1uTFcQ18:36
KoodaShould there be a second framebuffer?18:36
KoodaIf you know of any docs I could check out, don’t hesitate to point me to them. I don’t want to rob you of your free time. ^^'18:43
mntmnKooda: it looks like your monitor is not connected / not recognized18:45
mntmnKooda: if you plug and unplug hdmi while looking at dmesg -w, you should get some info about plug in/out events18:45
KoodaAh! Well I tried that earlier and indeed I can't see anything there18:46
mntmnKooda: but having card0, 1 and 2 says that you have both lcdif and dcss18:46
KoodaOk18:46
mntmnKooda: i hope there's not a soldering issue on the hdmi port or something18:46
mntmnKooda: do you have another monitor and/or cable you could try?18:46
KoodaI tried two monitors, let me check if the second one does the same in dmesg18:46
mntmnnormally it should be plug and play18:46
mntmnexcept that sway has some bugs, so it's better to plug the monitor after starting sway18:47
KoodaIt should still show in dmesg right?18:47
mntmni think so yes18:47
KoodaAh, the second monitor shows something in dmesg at least18:49
Koodahttp://lxp.fr/p4zp1T3kA618:49
mntmnoh that's good18:50
mntmnlooks like edid is maybe not working, but you can force a resolution18:50
mntmnKooda: put this in .config/sway/config: output HDMI-A-1 resolution 1920x108018:51
mntmnKooda: is it a very long hdmi cable or something?18:51
KoodaIt was already in there18:51
KoodaNope, pretty short and quite shielded18:51
mntmnok18:51
mntmnKooda: capture the sway startup log to a file18:51
Kooda(also this monitor is smaller so I ajusted the resolution in the config)18:52
mntmnKooda: like: sway >sway.log 2>&1 18:52
mntmnand then pastebin that file pls18:52
Koodayep18:54
Koodahttp://lxp.fr/p4zq29ElY418:54
KoodaSomething’s weird in there ^^'18:55
KoodaIf I remove sway,s config line, it shows up in get_outputs but without any available mode.18:58
KoodaOh, important notes! The first one (that doesn't show up at all) is a VGA monitor through an HDMI adapter, and this one is a DVI monitor connected with a HDMI-DVI cable. Maybe these are expected to not work?19:01
mntmnohhhh ok19:02
mntmni never tried that19:02
KoodaThey both work on an Allwinner ARM board's HDMI output though19:02
mntmnwell that doesn't mean anything19:02
mntmnthe hdmi tx driver is experimental and picky19:02
KoodaYeah, it's a completely different chi19:02
Koodachip*19:02
mntmnso this is probably the cause then19:03
mntmnthis would need more in-depth debugging in the driver19:03
KoodaOk no problem :)  I might take a look at it myself then ^^19:04
mntmnif you have a lot of time you can put many many printks in the cdns driver19:04
KoodaYep, exactly my thoughts :D19:04
mntmnKooda: here is a list of all the hdmi related driver files https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/blob/main/reform2-imx8mq/template-kernel/patches/mnt5000-imx8mq-import-HDMI-driver-and-make-DCSS-compatible.patch#L819:06
KoodaThanks a lot for the help in any case :)19:06
mntmnKooda: i recently also had to patch the driver to add a new pixelclock for this weird 5.5" 1080x1920 panel19:06
KoodaHeh ^^19:06
mntmnbecause they can only select from a table of predefined pixel clocks19:06
mntmnit's not dynamic19:06
KoodaPredefined in-chip, or in driver?19:07
mntmnin the driver19:07
KoodaIt might be a pixel clock problem on my end as well because my monitors are 1920x1200 and 1440x900, pretty different than the standard 1920x108019:07
mntmnit has like a table of possible clocks and a bunch of register settings19:08
KoodaI see19:08
mntmnand there is an excel based tool (not kidding) to calculate new ones19:08
Koodalol19:08
mntmnso i guess the driver could be enhanced to incorporate the magic excel formulae...19:08
KoodaCan't this tool be implemented in the driver? x)19:08
KoodaYeah19:09
mntmnyeah19:09
mntmnbut nobody did it19:09
mntmni mean the driver is also not in mainline 19:09
mntmnat least not completely19:09
mntmnsome cousin of it is in there19:09
mntmnbecause rockchip use the same or similar hdmi ip19:09
mntmn(cadence)19:09
mntmnmhdp19:09
KoodaI'll take a look later this week, thanks a lot for the help and the pointers. I'll report back if I manage to do anything. ^^19:11
mntmncool, good luck!19:19
