Display HP S410u possible workling with RaspberryPi

[mlukaszek]

Looks like `example` managed to talk to evdi and connected to it. You didn't define DEBUG so the output is minimal.
Not sure why you're getting SIGILL for the Qt app, but it looks like you should perhaps update your pi (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/766).

Anyway. With the `example` running, play with `xrandr` to list available outputs and connectors, and see if reverse prime works.

So, in short, keep `example` in the background, and test the following:

• xrandr
• xrandr --listproviders
• xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
• xrandr --auto

...and see how far you get.

Hi Michal,

Here is the output from 'xrandr' command of the terminal window is at follows:

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 2048 x 2048
HDMI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 359mm x 287mm

   640x480       60.00
   720x400       70.08

Here is the output from 'xrandr --listproviders' command of the terminal window is at follows:

Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x43 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 3 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo modprobe evdi
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x43 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 3 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
Could not find provider with index 1

Here is the output from 'xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0' command of the terminal window is at follows:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  35 ()
  Value in failed request:  0x43
  Serial number of failed request:  16
  Current serial number in output stream:  17

And the 'xrandr --auto' command are without output.

For this test I used a 17 inch monitor and the HP s140u USB monitor.
For a special debug I put up a new image, because I have updated the mesa and libdrm manually.

Best regards

Hi Michal,

I have built a new image, only with existing packages. I builded evdi module and evdipp without any problems.
The system is an up-to-date Raspian Jessi.

After testing the following commands, there was always the error message: *No usable EVDI found* (The evdi module under lsmod is active.)

Here is the output from 'example' command of the terminal window is at follows:

#as root:

No Screen showed up.

And the output from 'monitorsim' command of the terminal window is at follows:

The output from the "xrandr" is the same as in my last post.

I hope this information will help you.

Not being able to use evdi if not running as root is normal. (see note in https://displaylink.github.io/evdi/q...rt/#evdi-nodes)

Not seeing any extra output from "example" is also normal - but while the application is running, it should already be possible to check `xrandr` if you see DVI-*-* connector. Also, what `xrandr --listproviders` shows.

From what monitorsim run as root logs, I think you are running in ssh session, with no DISPLAY set. Run `export DISPLAY=:0` and try again...
Edit: on another look, it complains about not being able to connect to :0, so it might be something else...

Cheers,
Michal
