Intel(r) 855GM Chipset, Intel(r) 855GME Chipset 

Resolution Description:

In KCHServiceInterrupt (kch\ialm\kchisr.c), the interrupt indentity register (IIR) was being cleared before the PIPEASTAT and PIPEBSTAT registers. This would create a situation where graphics hardware would continue generating interrupts, but the handler did not know the intterrupt was to be serviced. The resulting flood of interrupts would cause the system to appear dead (all system resources were being used to service interrupts). The solution was to clear the interrupt registers in the correct order and the problem went away.

Alviso, Intel(r) 915G Chipset 

Resolution Description:

Root Cause: When overlay is turned on, ZoneInits convert to ClearRects within the hardware.  By subtracting one (1) from the width and height of the clear rectangle, we were no longer clearing the full surface.  When overlay is off, this did not matter as the whole zone is cleared.  When overlay is on, the size of the clear rectangle does matter. 

Fix Description: Removed the subtraction of one in DoZoneInitClear function.

Soft BIOS

Alviso 

Resolution Description:

Root Cause: When TV std is changed from CUI, while DVD is running, the driver does not set MV registers per the new TV std being setup.

 

Fix Description:  The fix is to call IntTV_PrograMVRegs() from IntTV_SetTiming() function. This ensures that driver sets the correct MV values based on the current TV std in pAimObj->dwTVStandard.

System halt when play MPEG file in Extended Mode.

DD

Windows* XP

Alviso, Intel(r) 855GME Chipset 

Resolution Description:
 

Root Cause: Overlay was enabled on the pipe attached to primary display instead of secondary, and the resolution on primary pipe was much lower (10x7 vs. 16x12). So in full screen, overlay size was set to secondary desktop which was much higher resolution so it was outside of active primary display area, and this caused HW hang. OS/App calls driver sometimes with correct pdev (secondary pdev), but sometimes with primary pdev which caused overlay getting wrong pipe info. Should be a MS issue.
 

Fix Description:  Moved pipe setting flag to UpdateOverlay since it is more consistent with secondary pdev. Also added the checking to avoid overlay outside of active display area.
