gatos-devel Mailing List for GATOS

Hi,

I have an IBM T40 with Radeon (7000?) M6 LY. I used the Xorg CVS
patch for TV output (thanks Wei) and it sort of works, partially.

With NTSC and PAL modes, I am getting b&w noise on the screen.
I tried setting the modeline to one with a 50Hz refresh rate,
but then the driver would default to 65Hz.

So therefore I have a couple of questions:
 - does anyone know a modeline that would force the display to
   50Hz or a modeline that will work with an ordinary SONY
   european TV and perhaps the LCD as well? I always thought 
   PAL has 50Hz but maybe some other refresh rates work as well?
 - is it planned to drive the refresh rate of the TV out 
   independently?

Thanks in advance for your help and for all the work that
has been done already.

I just updated to Xorg 6.9.0. The web site says in various places that code
from ati.2 has been merged into Xorg 7.0. But it's unclear what "code from"
means, is it everything or just some parts? And 6.9.0 and 7.0 are supposed to
be the same underlying codebase restructured. So is the code merged into 7.0?

In short, am I better off with the 6.9.0 drivers or with gatos CVS?

I have three ATI cards in my system:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
0000:02:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT] (rev 41)
0000:02:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a)

I don't want to risk losing the dri support for the Radeon 9600 (RV350). But
right now I'm not getting *anything* for the Mach64 cards. Instead I get:

(==) ATI(1): Chipset:  "ati".

Hm, I may have spoken too soon. GLX direct rendering is supposedly working but
the speed is rather disappointing. I'm getting just over 800fps with glxgears.
I seem to recall my G400 doing much better and a friend says his nvidia gets
>2000 fps. Hell, even without dri this card was doing better than 400fps.

Am I missing something or is there just that much left to do with the
acceleration? It seems hard to believe that direct rendering, even with a
primitive driver could possibly be only 2x as fast as the card does without
dri at all.

I do get these warnings starting up but I assumed they just reflected the
incomplete state of the driver. Not anything to worry about. Was that
assumption wrong?

Apparently this list is either the wrong place or it's just moribund. Is there
a better place to find answers to questions about the ATI Radeon drivers? Some
place with a little more traffic perhaps?

I've found upgrading my X to 6.9.0 and adding AGPMode 4 has helped matters
enormously. The flashing is gone, and the consoles get restored properly now.
However I still can't get my other graphics cards running.

> 1) If I configure X to use my other (PCI) graphics cards it seg faults.

Now instead of seg faulting I get this output:

(==) ATI(1): Chipset:  "ati".

I still don't know where to go from there. Why is the driver failing to
initialize the card when it was able to do so perfectly well when the primary
card was the matrox card?

The binaries compiled against xorg 7.0 tree work also with 6.9.0

Tommi

I finally broke down and bought a modern graphics card. A Radeon 9600 with an
RV350 and SVGA, DVI, and tv-out. My understanding is that all these features
are more or less supported by the free (speech) drivers but I'm having trouble
getting everything working.

Is there a document somewhere explaining what I need to do to get tv-out and
GLX direct rendering working? I'm finding all sorts of answers involving
binary drivers or patches but other sources saying these features have been
merged into the mainstream drivers. What's the current state of the world?
Which features have been merged upstream and which still require work and
what's the best route to getting them working?

Also I'm having a few specific driver bugs in order of importance:

1) If I configure X to use my other (PCI) graphics cards it seg faults.

2) The Merged Frame buffer mode or the driver seems to have a bug where
   periodically in the middle of a screen refresh it fiddles the wrong
   registers such that there's a flash on the secondary monitor that looks
   like stuff from the other monitor (except messed up since they're different
   resolutions).

3) When I exit X it doesn't seem to restore my consoles properly. All the
   screens are blank. This is a pretty serious problem too. It means playing
   with the X config requires a lot of reboots and/or ssh sessions from
   another box.

I think I would prefer two separate screens like my other monitors but I can't
figure out how to configure that. Do I specify a second graphics card at
:1:0.1 ? It doesn't seem to work if I do that.

Incidentally, I still have a few days left when I can exchange this card for
another. Is there another chipset I would have better success with that I
should look for? Am I better off with the older 9250 series card? Or a newer
9800 series card?

Thanks for the help.

In a previous message [Snapshot fails with avview+km (radeon 8500dv)] I 
reported that although I could watch tv with avview, I could not take 
snapshots or capture to my hard disk, and asked for help trying to setup 
a /dev/video0 to capture from there.

Well, I decided to 'make install' avview instead of running the 
start_avview.noinstall script, and /dev/video0 was created. Now avview works 
completely, it captures the video (with km loaded). However, I cannot capture 
from /dev/video0 directly (no such device if avview is closed, device or 
resource busy if avview is running). I compiled the 'v4l2' driver 
(genericv4l.ko), and it insmods (with km unloaded) but /dev/video0 is not 
created (if i create it by hand with mknode, the applications fail with 'no 
such device').

So, the question is, is there any way to use my card with a program other than 
avview? (i.e, make that other v4l-enabled apps can use it) How? I'm specially 
interested on getting vlc to work.

Regards,
           Luis.

P.S: Forgive my double-posting of the last message... I got two bounces out of 
the three times I tried to post, apparently one of the bounces was not 
permanent.

Hi,
here's the TV-Out patch from http://megahurts.dk/rune/tv_output.html ported to 
current Xorg CVS (with Xorg going for autoconf, mostly the build system 
needed adjustments).

It doesn't actually work here (RV280), but I don't think that's caused by the 
porting...

Regards,
bero

I don't think your setup will work as is.

the exact cause of this is still not known, and I have little energy to 
pursue it at this time.. sorry.

Hi Alberto,

sorry for the late reply, I didn't feel well last weekend.

One of the reasons tv-out doesn't work is that you are using the wrong=20
frequency:
(**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "800x600": 36.0 MHz, 35.2 kHz, 56.2 Hz

It needs to be at 60 Hz.

Steven,

To clear something up, the reason I asked Alberto to try
REF_FREQUENCY 14320

Was because of this entry in his log(not yours):
(II) RADEON(0): PLL parameters: rf=1432 rd=6 min=20000 max=35000; xclk=16670

rf should be the same as REF_FREQUENCY/10 (AFAIK).

your log says:
(II) RADEON(0): PLL parameters: rf=2700 rd=12 min=20000 max=40000; 
xclk=20000

Meaning you shouldn't change the default value.

Have you read http://megahurts.dk/rune/tv_output.html ?

One of the reasons tv-out doesn't work is that you are using the wrong 
resolution at the wrong frequency:
(**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1024x768": 78.8 MHz, 60.1 kHz, 75.1 Hz

You need to use 800x600 at 60 Hz.

Hi.

Where did you get these values? I've tried 14320, but not 17000. What's the=
=20
best image you can get? I'd like to try any trick you can tell me.

	Alberto

Still trying to get tvout and DRI on my pundit-r. 

I have made a few dumps with the radeon_dump tool.

one with the fglrx driver using 800x600 and working PAL tv out.
one with the patched radeon driver (xorg 6.9) and REF_FREQUENCY 17000 in
theater_out.c and one with REF_FREQUENCY 14320

     I. Maybe the diff in the PLL registers might tell someone who kwons
        what he'slooking at something why the tv-out is distorted when
        using the radeon driver. Frustrating since now I have glxgears
        running near 1000 fps I can't see the output :-)

Hello.
I think I'm having trouble setting up the km module to work with avview. I 
checked out the module from the cvs, and it compiles and 'insmod's cleanly, 
but when I attempt to save a snapshot from avview, it prints the message:
----
Looking for km device that corresponds to PCI:01:00.0
km_devs=
----
and fails to capture. The same message appears when I select "automatic" from 
the 'v4l device: " dropbox in AVControl (the dropbox only shows 'none' and 
'automatic'). The /proc/km directory is emtpy, and no /dev/video* device is 
ever created. Video and audio playback works flawlessly.

What should I do next?

I'd also like to setup a /dev/video device, as the final objective of this

good at it. Is that possible?

Hello.
I think I'm having trouble setting up the km module to work with avview. I 
checked out the module from the cvs, and it compiles and 'insmod's cleanly, 
but when I attempt to save a snapshot from avview, it prints the message:
----
Looking for km device that corresponds to PCI:01:00.0
km_devs=
----
and fails to capture. The same message appears when I select "automatic" from 
the 'v4l device: " dropbox in AVControl (the dropbox only shows 'none' and 
'automatic'). The /proc/km directory is emtpy, and no /dev/video* device is 
ever created. Video and audio playback works flawlessly.

log file after I changed to
#define REF_FREQUENCY           14320
recompiled and reinstalled.

Anything more to try?

I was just trying the same thing here.
All looks fine in the logs but the image on my tv is distorted.

I have this in my xorg.conf :
Section "Device"
    Identifier                          "radeon"
    Driver                              "radeon"
    VendorName "ATI"
    BoardName "Radeon IGP"
    Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
    Option "AGPMode" "4"
    Option "sw_cursor"
    Option "TVOutput" "PAL"
    Option "MonitorLayout"  "AUTO,NONE"

EndSection

And my logfile is attached.
 From looking trough the archives this 9100 IGP seems doomed... :-(

Hi.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is the config and the log, with
#define REF_FREQUENCY   14320

Let's hope you can help me.

Thanks

Hi all,
It is great that gatos work finally got to linux distributions.
Although avview video in works perfectly, I'm still not able to record
the video.
I use fresh CVS km and CVS avview with ffmpeg048 on Fedora FC5 test3.

I noticed that my graphic is not listed in km_pci_tbl of km.c
I tried to add the device as HARDWARE_RADEON, but km do not work.
Driver loads successfully, avview record does not start and unloading km
results in
kernel oops.

What is chance to get video recording working?

Tom

Works for AIW 7500 (PAL)

There is something strange though; if I booted without TV connected and 
attach TV through s-video cable after X has started, machine freezes.
