Bug ID: 3355587

Resolution info won't change after rotation 90/270 degree with clone mode.

CUI

Windows* 7-64

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

The code was optimized to not populate the mode list whenever primary and secondary devices don't change and the mode list is not empty.
However, in case of resolution, the mode list has to be re-enumerated. Removed the optimization.

CUI

Windows Vista*
Windows Vista*-64
Windows 7
Windows 7-64

Mobile Intel® 4 Series Chipset Family

Root Cause:  

When we upgrade driver from 15.13 or 15.15 to 15.16 Gamma falls below the range of new gamma and hence the corruption occurs.

Bug ID: 3355880

Resolution Is 800x600 When Hot Plugged DP-HDMI to Swatch

NT - miniport

Windows Vista*

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

In the existing code while searching for next equal or smaller mode in clone mode list the check was for both equal/smaller X and Y. So if the preferred mode is 1280x720 the next smaller mode 1024x768 was not passing equal or smaller check since 768 > 720. The fix done is to check for only X to get the next equal or smaller mode.

Bug ID: 3356337

LVDS panel name is incorrect.

Soft BIOS

Windows* 7

Clarkdale

Root Cause:  

Code added for handling vbt version lower than 155 i.e. the version which has panel name implemented.

Bug ID: 3356935

WXGA panel (and other eDP panels) shows a brief white flash when resuming from S3

System shows BSoD D6 when doing driver verifier with VBIOS1973+8.15.10.2044

Soft BIOS

Windows* 7
Windows* 7-64

Clarkdale

Root Cause:  

The root cause is that VBIOS doesn’t enumerate some VBT fields for LVDS on DT, but driver would still look for it. Removed the parsing of such fields for desktop platforms.

Issues Resolved in Build 2044

Reference No.

Bug ID: 3289842

SUT can not set max resolution (1440x900) on WXGA+ panel in clone mode with a 19x10 native external monitor

NT - miniport

Windows Vista*

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

This issue was observed in a system with max LFP resolution 1440x900. In clone mode with a CRT having native 19x10, we were not able to apply 1440x900. The cause was that 16x12 was getting selected as the target timing and since 12 > 10 (native Y) IsSupportedVidPn was failing.
Resolution: Prune target modes where Y > (native Y) for CRT.

Bug ID: 3291434

To test NBA2K9 game, the screen is abnormal.

Windows* 7

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

Bug ID: 3291982

arithmetic overflow when Intel CUI is launched

CUI

Windows* 7-64

Clarkdale

Root Cause:  

 

The pointer assigned is never used in the code. Removed the unused pointer.

Bug ID: 3292309

Int10 AX=5F64h BX=0000h CX=0001 has problem (backlight and no display)

Video BIOS

Windows* 7
Windows* 7-64

Mobile Intel® 4 Series Chipset Family

Root Cause:  

 

DPLL registers were getting locked and could not be programmed to new values during a display switch. Cleaned the code such that write protection is enabled / disabled only once in the entire sequence. Panel power off sequencing does not lock the registers after switching the panel power off. Panel on sequence turns power on for LFP and locks the already programmed DPLL registers.

Bug ID: 3355565

Samsung WXGA+ panel with X19 (2014) VGA driver can't boot to OS.

Soft BIOS

Windows Vista*
Windows* 7

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

Panel supports only 6bpc color depth. As part of port bw pruning for DP, we had an assumption of 24 bpp (i.e 8bpc).
The pixel clk for this panel is 101 Mhz, which cannot be supported on x1, HBR, 8bpc and hence it was getting pruned out.

Bug ID: 3355680

The LCD appears garbage screen while resume from S4.

Video BIOS

Windows Vista*
Windows Vista*-64

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

VBIOS was not enabling dithering for eDP-A. Also, the dithering enable code was not correct in VBIOS.
Resolution: Cleaned up dithering enable code in VBIOS and added call to enable dithering in eDP-A enabling path.

Root Cause:  

 

Bug ID: 3289957

When Fast Composting source surface is XRGB, ARGB, output video color is not correct

DVD

Windows* 7

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

When using AVS data load kernel, the R and B channels were incorrectly swapped. So, introduced a new swap kernel to put R and B channels in correct order for BGRA input surface read with AVS sampler.

 

Bug ID: 3290617

Garbage appears on the address bar of the window.

KMD Render

Windows* 7
Windows* 7-64

Clarkdale

Root Cause:  

 

Correct texture coordinate calculation by adding small value to compensate for floating-point precision errors.

 

Bug ID: 3290719

Cannot display video while using D3D9Overlay on G45

KMD Render

Windows* 7

Mobile Intel® 4 Series Chipset Family

Root Cause:  

 

This workaround is disabled the scaling when the system is G45(CTK, ELK) system and running D3D9Ovelay.
The problem is the change to RGB intermediate surfaces, so now that we are properly creating intermediate surfaces to match original surface we have an issue where OS is blocking our ability to create more surfaces because of the combination of Overlay Surface Address limitations and the OS limitations on Overlay surfaces taking a certain amount of space.

 

Bug ID: 3291038

A vertical discontinuity line shown on video when BD playback in window mode.

Bug ID: 3292322

Garbage appears if Suspend system on DC and Resume in AC mode.

Power Conservation

Windows* 7
Windows* 7-64

Mobile Intel® 4 Series Chipset Family

Root Cause:  

 

During S3/S4 resume, FBC hardware state is not synchronized with driver's internal state, which causes FBC to be enabled on unsupported configurations. This was causing flickers. Changed the driver to take all restrictions and current config into consideration before enabling the feature.

Bug ID: 3355482

A part of WMC menu is not displayed when move the mouse cursor to right edge of desktop on 180 degree rotation.

NT - miniport

Windows* 7

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

During rotation, while we rotate the cursor buffers, the rotated coordinates sometime go out of bounds of the actual hardware cursor buffer coords. Since we always need to program at least one active pixel of the buffer in order for the hardware to work properly we were adjusting the coords accordingly on Windows Vista*[ where we always knew the buffer size was 256x256]. But from Windows* 7 onwards this assumption no longer holds good, so now we adjust the coords based on the cursor buffer size dynamically.

Bug ID: 3292148

Green line is displayed at bottom of playback area when play mpg file

DVD

Windows* 7

Clarkdale

Root Cause:  

 

When HD Content is played, the Surface Height is 1088, but the SrcRect Height is 1080. The Deinterlacing algorithm reads outside the rectangle, so we see a green line and / or garbage at the bottom of the playback window.

The fix is to clamp the Surface Height to 1080 if SurfHeight == 1088 & & SrcRectHeight == 1080. We will not clamp the Surface Height in any other case.

Bug ID: 3292074

Can not hide some items on CUI with customization-registry.

CUI

Windows* 7

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

Bug fix, added customization settings for the two items which are reported as part ofthe bug

Bug ID: 3291853

LCD shows garbage while uninstall Intel Graphics Drivers.

Video BIOS

Windows Vista*

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

Issue is because VBIOS was not putting the eDP port to Link idle state before turning off the port. This cause F8/Os selection screens to blankout.
Also, in plane control register, VBIOS was not changing the tiled memory bit to linear. This caused the corruption when driver un-install.

Issue is resolved in VBIOS 1948

Bug ID: 3291467

Nothing is displayed when hot unplug Display Port monitor.

Video BIOS

Windows* 7

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

C4030 and c4008 were getting set after enabling the DP/HDMI port in the anble. Vbios had to clear them in the setmode after the enable sequence


Bug ID: 3291091

BIOS Setup picture can not show full screen.

Video BIOS

Windows* 7-64

Arrandale

Root Cause:  

 

VBIOS was not clearing PF registers during the 4f11 107 int10 call. This caused the text/graphics mode stretching /centering failures.
Issue resolved in VBIOS version 1956.

Root Cause:  

 

Display abnormal during system resume from S4, white line is observed in Windows* 7
We have observed that OS and CUI set gamma color values simultaneously and due to which there is white line observed, already there is a delay exist to let CUI updates and wait till OS triggers its APIs. Fix is to increase the delay.
