gatos-devel Mailing List for GATOS

Hi, everyone,

I'm trying to get closed captioning working on my ATI
All-In-Wonder Radeon.  I'm using km and avview on
fedora core 6.  I compiled them from cvs about a month
ago (not easy, lol) My incoming signal is Time Warner
Cable.

I'm succesfully able to watch tv, tune in all of the
stations, and can capture using km and avview.  for
that, i'm very grateful to you guys.

On channels 50 and 99 the closed captioning seems to
work fine.  but, on channel 49 i'm only getting the
wrong closed captioning channel, cc3.  when i try to
do a raw decode of line 21 using ntsc-cc to decode
/dev/vbi0 (v4l), i see what appears to be the xds
service.  this is just information about the channel
and what show is on.  I've read that xds is usually
provided on line 21 of field 2 not field 1 of the
frame.  also, cc channel 3 is usually provided on
field 2.

so, my conclusion is that the fields are getting
switched, and that i'm only receiving vbi from field
2.    i would like to get the vbi from field 1.  can
anyone give me advice on getting vbi from the other
field?

James

You have force the driver to use suboptimal modelines for the LCD
screen, see:
	http://megahurts.dk/rune/tv_output.html

Look under:
	"TV-out not working when a LCD monitor is connected"

No, sorry. The hack runs the TV-out off the primary port and is
dependent on the radeon driver to set up the primary port just right.

I should've known better than to shoot off an e-mail before I'd exhausted
every possible combination of tweaks.  I am able to successfully start a
second X session using the aforementioned command, but am having trouble
starting X on my LCD & TV simultaneously (nothing on the TV).  Is it
possible to start a second TV X session on demand without blanking out the
existing session?

For the record, the following modifications to my xorg.conf resulted in
successful TV output (I changed them all at once, I know it's bad form, so
they may not all be strictly necessary):

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Video0"
        Driver  "radeon"
        Option  "AGPMode" "4"
        Option  "AGPFastWrite" "yes"
        Option  "TVOutput" "NTSC"
        Option  "IgnoreEDID" "true"
        Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE, CRT"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "TV"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 40.0
        VertRefresh  60
        Modeline "800x600" 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628
        Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Thanks again,
Ricky
