==Getting a display==

* GM45 1366x768 CQ60-210TU
 
===Proper mode switch methodology===
===Somewhat complex version===
Consult the appropriate section of your manual. It tends to be in Volume 3 at the start of one of the parts.
This code assumes that you have a 1366x768 LVDS panel on Display B. In other words, you have a laptop. However, it's probably where you want to start if you want to get this GPU working over VGA, DVI and/or HDMI.
 
* G45: Vol3, pg 28
Valid monitor timings are a must.
* SNB: Vol3.2, pg 8
 
===Simplified version===
* Disable VGA compatibility mode by setting bit 31 of VGACNTR.
This assumes that the BIOS configured the LVDS panel properly and/or in a way that we can just take its values and run with them. If it does, you can avoid an awful lot of pain. It also assumes that it's on the default setup of Pipe B, Display B.
* Disable Display A and B by clearing bit 31 of DSPACNTR and DSPBCNTR.
* Disable Pipe A and B by clearing bit 31 of PIPEACONF and PIPEBCONF. (Don't forget to applaud Intel for their naming consistency!)
* Wait for Pipe A and B to stop by reading bit 30 of PIPEACONF and PIPEBCONF and ensuring that they are both 0.
* There's a few steps explained in the G45 manual, Vol 3, pg29...
 
This code works on a GM45. It does not quite work on an HD3000, although the VGA compatibility mode is successfully disabled.
Basically, you disable the cursor and overlay planes, force the display on and off while triggering display flips, then restore the cursor and overlay planes to what they were before you messed with them.
 
This also assumes that your panel is less than 2048 pixels wide, but that can be fixed by adding a few "if" statements. However, the 1366x768 assumption is dropped from this version.
Here's the C code for it (XXX: confirm - the manual says to use display/pipe A, are we supposed to use that for display B?):
 
If you want a non-native resolution, enable the panelfitter and adjust PIPEBSRC to suit. Note, the panelfitter does love to blur everything.
 
Here's how you get from VGA text mode to native 32bpp full-res BGRX mode the easy way, and by easy we mean this is very much empirical, about as risky, and assumes the BIOS doesn't have stupid bugs in it - but may be more reliable than the version above:
 
<pre>
// Set VGA screen off
uint32_t pbconf_tmp = genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] & ~(3<<18);
outportb(0x3C4, 0x01);
genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] &= ~(3<<18);
outportb(0x3C5, inportb(0x3C5)|(1<<5));
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] |= (1<<31);
 
genx_reg32[DSPBSURF] = 0;
// Wait at least 100us (Gen4.5 only needs 20us, but Gen6 needs 100us)
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] &= ~(1<<31);
wait_us(100);
genx_reg32[DSPBSURF] = 0;
 
genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] = (genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] & ~(3<<18)) | pbconf_tmp;
// Disable VGA
// WARNING: Gen5 changes the location of this register!
// If you intend to support pre-Gen5 and Gen5+,
// select the right location for the architecture version.
genx_reg32[VGACNTRL] |= (1<<31);
 
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] &= ~(1<<31); // Disable Display B
genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] &= ~(1<<31); // Disable Pipe B
while((genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] & (1<<30))) {} // Wait for Pipe B to stop
 
// Set PIPEBSRC to screen resolution
uint32_t vis_w = (genx_reg32[HTOTAL_B] & 0xFFFF)+1;
uint32_t vis_h = (genx_reg32[VTOTAL_B] & 0xFFFF)+1;
genx_reg32[PIPEBSRC] = ((vis_w-1)<<16)|(vis_h-1);
 
// XXX: Panelfitter location unknown for DevSNB.
// It mentions a spreadsheet which appears to be publically unavailable.
genx_reg32[PFIT_CONTROL] &= ~(1<<31); // Disable panelfitter
genx_reg32[PIPEBCONF] |= (1<<31); // Enable Pipe B
 
// Set up Display B and enable
genx_reg32[DSPBLINOFF] = 0x00000000; // linear offset
genx_reg32[DSPBSTRIDE] = 2048*4; // scanline pitch
genx_reg32[DSPBSURF] = 0x00000000; // surface base
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] = (genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] & ~(15<<26)) | (6<<26); // bit depth select, 6 = 32bpp BGRX
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] = (genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] & ~(3<<20)) | (0<<20); // pixel multiply
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] = (genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] & ~(1<<10)) | (0<<10); // tiling flag
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] |= (1<<31); // enable
</pre>
 
With the above config, your framebuffer should be located at the start of the AGP aperture, and be 2048 32bpp BGRX pixels wide internally.
* Disable write protection by setting the upper 16 bits of PP_CONTROL to 0xABCD.
 
* If you need to program the DPLL, now would be a good time. You probably don't need (or even want) to, but here's the steps:
===Setting monitor timings===
** Disable the DPLL by clearing DPLLB_CTRL bit 31.
** Program the DPLL.
** Enable the DPLL by setting DPLLB_CTRL bit 31.
** Wait at least 150us via some method.
* Set the monitor timings via the (H|V)(TOTAL|BLANK|SYNC)_B and PIPEBSRC registers...
 
If you need to set the monitor timings, this code should be useful for a start. These timings work on the CQ60-210TU's surprisingly tolerant LVDS panel:
 
<pre>
Line 89 ⟶ 119:
genx_reg32[VSYNC_B] = ((vis_h+vis_sblank_h+vis_sync_h-1)<<16) | (vis_h+vis_sblank_h-1);
genx_reg32[PIPEBSRC] = ((vis_stretch_w-1)<<16)|(vis_stretch_h-1);
</pre>
 
It should still work if you only set PIPEBSRC, but if that's all you're setting, you should probably read the low 16 bits of HTOTAL_B and VTOTAL_B and add 1 to get the "native" resolution, assuming the BIOS sets that up correctly.
 
* Disable the panelfitter by clearing bit 31 of PFIT_CONTROL. This step is important, unless of course you like blurry images!
* Enable write protection by setting the upper 16 bits of PP_CONTROL to 0x0000.
* Enable Pipe B by setting bit 31 of PIPEBCONF.
* Set up Display B and enable it...
 
This works well for 1366x768, but should also work just as well for 1920x1080 if you have one of those monitors (but you should look for proper 1920x1080 timing):
 
<pre>
genx_reg32[DSPBLINOFF] = 0x00000000; // linear offset
genx_reg32[DSPBSTRIDE] = 2048*4; // scanline pitch
genx_reg32[DSPBSURF] = 0x00000000; // surface base
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] = (genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] & ~(15<<26)) | (6<<26); // bit depth select, 6 = 32bpp BGRX
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] = (genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] & ~(3<<20)) | (0<<20); // pixel multiply
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] = (genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] & ~(1<<10)) | (0<<10); // tiling flag
genx_reg32[DSPBCNTR] |= (1<<31); // enable
</pre>
 
And that's it.
