Linux 15kHz patches
« on: March 12, 2019, 08:37:57 am »
I have released the latest 15 kHz patches with additional features in a dedicated repository.

The purpose of this repository is to keep the 15 kHz patches synchronized with future kernel releases.

Optional patches are also available to make groovymame experience even more realistic and similar to real hardware. If running groovymame is not targetted, they can be omitted.

Hey ! Nice decision !

Just out of curiosity : do they work on 4.18+ ?

Thanks.

They should apply fine, if you encounter issue applying them, just reach out to me.

Thank you very much for your time and effort to support the latest kernel, this is very much appreciated! As a non-professional linux user I'm having a hard time and looking for some guidance..

I'd love to know if the 15khz-patched-kernel supports super-resolutions as well, because I'm using a computer with an Intel GMA-4 GPU which works great with super-resolutions but I haven't been able to tweak it for native res modelines.

I chose the minimal "ubuntu server 18.04 (amd64, x86_64)" image and installed the 5.2 Kernel from here without issues following this guide.
Then I obtained the 5.2 sources via git from here and followed this guide to apply the patches that were listed along with the 5.2 *.deb packages.
(When I was asked if I wanted to overwrite the config with the one supplied with the packages I chose yes.)
Some of those patches were applied successfully while others asked "where is the file" and I couldn't answer that..
The build/make gave me an error and left me stuck at this point.

There is a more comprehensive guide in french from MaKoTo but it's pretty outdated I'm afraid.

If anybody would be willing to help, I'd like to return the favor by donating one of these.

Hi,

look at my answer here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,158903.0.html
It's just a few topics beneath this one.
You should be able to sort it out with a new kernel and Doozer's diff's.

Cheers

If I understand you well, you try to get 15kHz support from an Intel GPU. I assume "GMA-4" makes reference to the 4th Gen chipsets.

The minimum dotclock allowed (without additional patch) is 25MHz for i8xx, 20MHz for i9xx and 25MHz for gen4.

If you give me more details about the chipset I can produce a patch to lower down the value for your chipset. This would in theory enable you to achieve 15kHz output.

15KHz actually works with Super-(wide)-resolutions (e.g. 1920x240 or 2560x240 etc.) but I haven't been able to get any native 15KHz-res out of this chipset. As soon as Retroarch's CRTswitchres kicks in everything looks gorgeous and while using Super-resolutions I'm able to display pretty much any system or game the way it's meant to be...
While everything seems fine in retroarch, those Super-resolutions are a real pain when trying to display anything else, commandline, desktop and emulationstation frontend.
As a workaround I've setup a system with attractMode instead of emulationstation as frontend which displays normally under super-wide-15KHz, not stretched and unusuable like everything else.

If there was a way to use *any* 4:3 aspect ratio 15KHz resolution, that would be a dream come true!

Here's some more info on the chipset, also I'd like to offer one of those computers as a donation. They're super small and ideal for consolizing into an emulation-system.

On top of 15kHz patch, just try to apply the following patch to enable low dot clock to i915 chipset. I was not able to find the specs for i915, real test is required. Good luck.

Now I'm excited!
Hoping I'll find some time to test this out as soon as possible.

Thank you very much!!!  :applaud:

May be a stupid question, but does "on top of" mean before or after the other patches?

Normally after the 15kHz patch but due to the fact that it is perform on a separate file both ways will work actually. so, if you do not encounter any error after patching you are fine.

I did a full kernel build and I'm afraid either it didn't work or I did something wrong...
Here're my steps:

Code: [Select]
mkdir src
cd src
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.2.tar.xz
tar -xf ./linux-5.2.tar.xz
git clone https://github.com/D0023R/linux_kernel_15khz.git
cd linux-5.2/
nano Makefile
# added -15KHz-intel to the version string
sudo su
patch -p1 < ../linux_kernel_15khz/linux-5.2/03_linux_15khz.diff
patch -p1 < ../linux_kernel_15khz/linux-5.2/04_linux_15khz_interlaced_mode_fix.diff
patch -p1 < ../linux_kernel_15khz/linux-5.2/05_linux_15khz_scanoutpos.diff
patch -p1 < ../i915_15khz_test.patch
# had to apply the following patch because of equal names
patch -p1 < ../8-8-drivers-regulator-88pm800-fix-warning-same-module-names.diff
cp /usr/src/linux-headers-5.2.0-050200-generic/.config .
# ran into another error because of a missing dependancy:
apt-get install libelf-dev
make -j$(nproc)
make modules_install
make install
update-grub

Then I bootet into the 5.2xxxx-15KHz-intel kernel and tried some modelines, all with the same message:

Code: [Select]
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

Here're the modelines I tested:

Hi,

Have you checked the log in the syslog or the output of the dmesg command?

From specs

Code: [Select]
The GMCH provides two DPLL clock generator units provide a stable frequency for driving display pipes. It operates by converting an input reference
 frequency into an output frequency. The timing generators take their input from internal DPLL devices that are programmable to generate pixel clocks
in the range of 25-400 MHz. Accuracy for VESA timing modes is required to be within ± 0.5%.

Hacking the hardware could allow another (any frequency) clock to be used as per following. But I am not in favor of a hardware hack and it will only work for a predefined dot clock.

Code: [Select]
The DPLL can take a reference frequency from the external reference input (DREF_CLKINN/P), (DREF_SSCCLKINN/P) the TV clock input (TVCLKIN). 

Still...

Code: [Select]
The frequency of this clock is dependent on the output resolution required.

TV encoder functions are supported together with i915 but via external encoder chip, not a potential path here.

Conclusion:

It does not mean that the 25MHz is a fixed barrier, but only testing and playing with the PLL can reveal us the lower limit with appropriate stability.

dmesg had nothing unusual in it, besides some ACPI warnings that keep showing under Linux.

I'd like to mention that I'm much better with a soldering iron than with a Linux command line ;-)

It does not mean that the 25MHz is a fixed barrier, but only testing and playing with the PLL can reveal us the lower limit with appropriate stability.

Of course it would be really awesome to have more modelines available with this chipset, but if it seems like a dead end I'm not stressing to put time and energy into it.
Anyways, I'm open for suggestions and I have some spare time tonight.

Thank you very much for looking into this, still, it's very much appreciated!!

Using an external clock to feed the display logic would make the solution too unique and not very practicable due to the need to configure the external clock each time you change the resolution.

Re: Linux 15kHz patches

stupid question : 15khz patches are made to boot in 15khz besides patching a few things here and there. Isn't that a xorg driver problem ? Doozer I remember you saying me something like GM uses DRM, but that's not the case for the OS itself ! (was a few days ago when I asked if we had to patch xorg drivers to allow lower video modes like 160x100)

It is correct, the 15kHz patch allows the kernel to boot in 15kHz mode after the kernel is loaded. You can achieve the same result by specifying EDID with 15kHz mode on kernel line or via dongle. In your boot manager, you can append the following to the kernel line "video=VGA-1:e drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=VGA-1:edid/edid_pal.bin".

X will configure itself to the provided EDID resolution. GM will switch resolution as usual by using the DRM calls.

xf86 library are indeed limited to 320x200 and must be patch to reach lower resolution. Which is not a requirement because they can be managed by GM integer scaling functionality.

The 15kHz patches towards freshly released kernel 5.3 are available.

Thank you very much  :notworthy:. I would like to use these patches and I have a pair of questions:

-Can I use it with an Intel mobile GM965/GL960 graphics controller?
-Does it make possible to select a vertical resolution of 254 lines? (for arcades like MK)

For a Intel GPU, you should use 1280x480 if other resolutions don't work. Need kernel 5.5 at least for that, or you need to backport the patch for previous kernels, or edit the patch that suits your kernel and add the missing resolution yourself. Not that hard to do ;)

As resolution are hard coded in the kernel, there is none with 254 lines. There is a 384x288 at 50Hz in the 5.6 branch though. But you can add the resolution yourself in the kernel.

Sorry for the late reply. Most probably not, intel GPU require a 25MHz pixel clock that is not reached with this resolution. stick to 1280x480i
