           Summary: [regression] Xv vsync not working after disabling
                    monitor
        QA Contact: xorg-team at lists.x.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: thomas.lindroth at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Driver/Radeon
           Product: xorg

Steps to reproduce this bug:
Boot a system with two monitors connected using HDMI & DVI on an HD6770 card.
Run a dual head setup in xorg without using composition (xrandr output below).
At this point vsync in xv works on both monitors. Disable the HDMI monitor by
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off. Xvideos on the DVI monitor are now not vsynced.
Reenable the HDMI with xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --output DVI-1 --auto
--right-of HDMI-0. After that xv vsync doesn't work on any of the monitors.
xvattr show XV_VSYNC is 1. After an unknown amount of time vsync will start
working again. It takes a few hours like leaving it over night.

I usually disable the HDMI monitor because I'm unplugging it. After unplugging
it an error message will show up in syslog:

[drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 216
Raw EDID:
    00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 1e 6d 57 56 59 a6 00 00

    ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
[drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* HDMI-A-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID

I don't know if this error is related to the vsync problem but they started at
about the same time. Unplugging the monitor is not required for the vsync
problem.

Looking at timestamps in syslog I upgraded xf86-video-ati from 7.0.0 to 7.1.0
and the kernel from 3.7.5 to 3.8.0 a few days before the first EDID checksum is
invalid message. I should bisect but bisecting the DDX is a pita.

xorg.conf only got a section with
Identifier      "ATI"
Driver          "radeon"
Option "ColorTiling" "true"
Option "ColorTiling2D" "true"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
