BBXM HDMI issue on ubuntu-14.04.1 with LXDE

[Leo738]

Hello All,

I've just completed a fresh install of:

ubuntu-14.04.1-console-armhf-2014-10-29

on a BB-XM rev B.

I ran into issues with HDMI on kernel versions above 3.2:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beagleboard/zi6Ft6JI2OM/5wuHfHtp3f0J

but because of a stupid error had to upgrade (wiped a partition on the SD card by mistake).

Anyway on the new install the HDMI was working correctly, showing text on startup. I then installed LXDE & no more HDMI. 'Tux' is shown in the top left hand corner for the initial couple of seconds but then the TV gives up & shows no signal. I've edited /boot/uEnv.txt to:

#Docs: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:U-boot_partitioning_layout_2.0

uname_r=3.17.1-armv7-x3

#Force HDMI resolution for LG42LV550T-ZA
#From: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en-GB#!searchin/beagleboard/HDMI/beagleboard/TOCarHIhVI8/_UxUKnOIJ9UJ
#cmdline=video=DVI-D-1:1024x768@60e

cmdline=quiet

But no success. I attach a PDF of the TV supported resolutions. It seems like it should work. Any ideas?

So from ^... Your just setting "cmdline=quiet".. if you want to force 1024x768:

#cmdline=quiet

cmdline=video=DVI-D-1:1024x768@60e

"#" is a comment in u-boot...

OH btw... when you installed LXDE, we need the omap ddx to be installed to:

cd /opt/scripts/
git pull
cd ./tools/graphics/

./ti-omapdrm.sh

[Leo738]

Robert,

Whoops, yes missed that. On removal still no luck though. I also tried a different resolution (1920x1080) but no difference.

Will give it a go..

Yeah, it's probally the xorg driver:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

would show it complaining..

[Leo738]

Robert,

Installed the omap ddx but no luck. The Xorg logfile is attached.

Thanks for the interest.

Okay, looks like xorg tried to set it up with what it wanted.. What
does xrandr show? (this is from the serial/ssh:)

ubuntu@arm:~$ xrandr -display :0.0 -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 2048 x 2048
DVI-D-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 338mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.0*+
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.1

Does the display light up when you do:

xrandr -display :0.0 --output DVI-D-1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 60

[Leo738]

No, no display on the TV.

After the command:

ubuntu@arm:~$ xrandr -display :0.0 -q

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 2048 x 2048
DVI-D-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 160mm x 90mm
   1280x1024      60.0*
   720x576        50.0  
   720x480        60.0     59.9
