Description How to fool around with the VGA Controller



HackingVGAforFun[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

This site describes how to fool around with the VGA Controller.

pinouts[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

VGA pinouts

build a fake monitor[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • Terminate the color lines with 75ohms
  • Attach a 24C02 serial eeprom to the specified pins (24c04 - 24c16 is possible to )
  • if no eeprom is at hand, connect ID3 to GND

Modesetting[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

To set a custom mode either use xrandr or xorg.conf or selfbuild eeprom VGA adapter.

xrandr[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

To do so use xrandr:

xrandr --newmode "MODE1"   64.00  1400 1400 1401 1401 700 700 702 702 -hsync -vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 "MODE1"
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode "MODE1" --right-of LVDS

note: VGA-0 may not apply, it could be VGA1 or VGA too, depending on the driver.
note: the last command assumes LVDS to be your primary active connector, change depending on your system.

alternative arandr

Xorg.conf[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Add a ModeLine to your Xorg.conf. 

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier      "SyncMaster"
       Option          "VGA-0"
       HorizSync       30-96
       VertRefresh     50-160
       ModeLine        "MODE1" 64.00  1400 1400 1401 1401 700 700 702 702
EndSection

monitor edid[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Add a 24C02 EEPROM to a VGA connector. This EEPROM contains the EDID.

I used EDID 1.3
Windows Xp

  • accepts
    • standart timings
    • established timings
  • regrets
    • prefered timings

Windows Vista and newer

  • accepts
    • standart timings
    • established timings
  • regrets
    • TODO

Linux

  • The kernel module drm handels all the display stuff
  • it accepts:
    • established timings
    • standart timings
    • prefered timings

hack the kernel module drm for custom edid[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

This is only neccesarry for custom EDIDs inside the "monitors" EEPROM. Using either the Xorg.conf method or the xrandr method doesn't need modification to the drm kernel module. It is only neccessary if you specify hsync < 1 or vsync < 1 in your EDID.

  • on debian
    • install linux-source
    • install linux-kernel-headers
    • append to the drm Makefile and run make
all:
	$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
	cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm
	cp nouveau/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau
	cp radeon/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon
	cp via/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/via
	cp gma500/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/gma500
	cp i915/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915
	chmod 755 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm
	update-initramfs -u
  • on fedora
    • install kernel-sources
    • append to the drm Makefile and run make
KDIR    := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
all:
	$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
	cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm
	cp nouveau/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau
	cp radeon/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon
	cp via/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/via
	cp gma500/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/gma500
	cp i915/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915
	chmod 755 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm
	dracut -f /boot/initramfs-currentimage
  • patch drm_edid.c , it doesn't accept vsync_width OR hsync_width to be 0

how to flash a new edid into monitor eeprom[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • remove fglrx or fglrx-legacy, make sure mesa is running !
  • Load the kernelmodule i2c-dev
  • Get i2c-tools
  • build the i2c-tools
  • Become root: Sudo -s
  • Add the tools folder to the PATH: PATH=$PATH:< ... >/i2c-tools/tools
  • Run i2cdump to find the correct BUSID (device at 0x50 and 0x51)
  • Flash new EDID with write-edid.sh
  • Note the input file is plain/text with hexvalues, spaces and newlines only

how to build custom edid[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Note

  • the tool outputs .dat-files, that need to be editet by hand, it contains invalid symbols
  • you can use the export function to generate .raw files and use hexdump to convert them to plain/text hex


Tests[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Test system[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • Linux 3.11.6 x86_64
  • Mesa 9.2.0
  • Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz
  • 4GByte DDR2 Memory

tips & tricks[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

activate vsync

  • mesa
    • $ swapbufferswait=1 vblank_mode=3 <command>
  • nvidia
    • __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1 <command>

on xfce glutfullscreen might be broken, kill your X and run 

swapbufferswait=1 vblank_mode=3 xinit ./vgatoiqbaseband -t -v -n :0

Results[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • bandwidth is measured with vsync off using GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object. This extensions allows asynchronous CPU MEM -> GPU MEM DMA transfers.
