Adding X11 Interlace Video Mode Support to Yocto

tengri — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 06:06:06 GMT

Hi All,

I want to enable and add support for interlace displays to X11 graphical environment, specifically for LCD interfaces. I can see that there are several interlace display modes are available in mxc_lcdif.c, but for some reason non of those modes are loaded by Xserver. The X11 server log has the output :

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

[1630468.071] (II) VIVANTE(0): No remaining probed modes for output DISP3 BG

[1630468.071] (II) VIVANTE(0): Output DISP3 BG connected

I am using kernel 4.1.15_1.0 with Yocto Krogoth release on IMX6Q. I also made the changes to :

xserver-xorg-video-imx-viv-3.10.17-1.0.0/EXA/src/vivante_fbdev/imx_display.c

ModeStatus
imxDisplayValidMode(VALID_MODE_DECL)
{
#ifndef XF86_SCRN_INTERFACE
ScrnInfoPtr pScrn = xf86Screens[arg];
#else
ScrnInfoPtr pScrn = arg;
#endif

/* if (mode->Flags & V_INTERLACE) {      //commented interlace mode checking !!!
                if (verbose) {
                        xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_PROBED,
                                   "Removing interlaced mode \"%s\"\n",
                                   mode->name);
                }
                return MODE_BAD;
        }*/
        return MODE_OK;
}

But no luck, is there anything else I have to configure to enable interlace display support ?

Not sure if there is other code to check the INTERLACE flag, but I think you can have a try to remove the code to set V_INTERLACE in imx_display.c:

if ((var->vmode & FB_VMODE_MASK) == FB_VMODE_INTERLACED)
mode->Flags |= V_INTERLACE;
