Hi Ken,

*sigh* did I already mentioned that I hate PLLs? As soon as you fix something another use case immediately starts to break.

Please provide dmesg output created with drm.debug=0xe with and without the patch breaking it.

Thanks in advance,
Christian.

Hi Christian, Alex -

my A4 Trinity (Radeon HD7480D) was working fine by -rc3. But now
that I've tested it in -rc5 it is again broken (the screen goes
blank when KMS starts). Bisection blames:

Reverting that from current HEAD [

Merge branch 'for-3.15' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd fixes from Bruce Fields.

makes it again boot.

Note to Alex - 3.15 has been an "interesting" cycle - you fixed my
earlier problem, despite my non-response, and thanks again for that.
After that, my other radeon broke after -rc2 (I retested it after
rc4 and found that although rc4 was broken, HEAD was fixed, so
thanks also for that. Then I retested this one for -rc5. It seems
that my boxes always break when I don't have time to test new
releases :-(
