Screen flicker -> black

[lotan]

Hi,

My graphics device is a Radeon HD 6450 1 GB. I'm starting detached. When I attach the screen flickers for a second or two and then settles to the tv picture. After a while (and I couldn't correlate it to a specific event), after the flicker it settles into a black screen. It does that until I restart.

The logs repeatedly show: Nov 22 06:58:38 computer vdr[1611690]: radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg for more information (-22). Nov 22 06:58:38 computer kernel: [drm:radeon_uvd_cs_parse [radeon]] ERROR No more free UVD handles! Nov 22 06:58:38 computer kernel: [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl [radeon]] ERROR Invalid command stream !

There is a difference if you start attached? What options did you use to run the plugin? What options did you use to start the Xorg? Enable debug in Makefile and post syslog.

There is a difference if you start attached?

No, starting attached also features the flicker. But I wanted to highlight, that it happens on every attach.

What options did you use to run the plugin?

[softhddevice] -D -f -v vdpau

What options did you use to start the Xorg?

Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon" Driver "radeon" EndSection

Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection

Enable debug in Makefile and post syslog.

Have done, will report back, as soon as it happens...

[ua0lnj]

For Radeon I use Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon" Driver "radeon" Option "SWcursor" "off" Option "AccelMethod" "exa" Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"

See you settings.

Also try run plugin with -w disable-ogl-osd

I started vdr in debug mode with your settings and without opengl osd. It took a while for the problem to reappear.

The following excerpt of the logs seems to be where it all goes wrong:
