Hallo.

I have just finished porting of XVideo and TV-input support code for ATI
Rage 128 based All-In-Wonder cards code for modular Xorg.

ftp://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/gatos/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3-r128-xvideo.patch

It is a result of comparing all different chunks of code between GATOS
and original XFree86 code. These chunks were ported to the latest Xorg.
I would be glad to get it to the upstream.

Just after it started to work, I found another attempt, so I added my
patch there, too:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8811#c7

My patch works with DRI and is as small as possible. Support for Rage
Theatre 200 was not added to my patch. I doubt there is any R128 + RT200
card.

Currently known issues with R128 support:
- Use of GL or overlay video sometimes corrupts hw cursor colormap (Xorg
  driver bug).
- Use of XRandR or screen mode change freezes overlay video.
- Ugly graphic effects while starting the server (cosmetic regression
  sometimes between xorg 6.8.1 and 6.9.0, Xorg driver bug).
- Suspend/Resume support does not work properly (Xorg or DRI bug).
- Use of framebuffer while X session contains active overlay video
  sometimes crashes X.
- There is no support for stereo processor in All-In-Wonder cards.
- Orphan interrupts in km module causing disabled interrupt in kernel 2.6.
- V4L2 driver does not work and crashes kernel.

Possible issues of my patch:
- Radeon and R128 XV_* controls and scales are out of sync.
- Improve video size XV_* controls for capture to allow arbitrary sizes.
- Verify, whether it can still be compiled without XVideo support.

openSUSE 10.2 i586 binaries with this patch available at:
ftp://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/suse/10.2

Unfortunately, TV-out with the ATI drivers doen't work here :-( There might be 
a configuration issue. Could you share you xorg.conf file ?

If there's anything I could do to debug the Gatos-related issues, I'd be happy 
to help. I don't know my ways around the X code, but I'm familiar with driver 
development.

Best regards,

Laurent Pinchart

Hello,

I have the same chipset, I worked with Rune tried to help debug it but
Rune could not find a solution remotely...

So I currently use ATI drivers only for TV out...

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to get TV-out working on my RV350 board (Mobility Radeon 9600 M1=
0).=20
I had no luck so far with the ATI fglrx drivers. Unfortunately, the=20
open-source driver doesn't seem to work better.

When starting X with TV-out enabled, the screen (DFP, this is a laptop) tur=
ns=20
black. X freezes but can be killed, and restoring output on the DFP require=
s=20
a reboot.

I've been able to trace the freeze issue down to writeFIFO in theater_out.c=
=2E=20
The TV_HOST_RD_WT_CNTL register is written with 0x41ff, but the write ack=20
flag never shows up, resulting in an infinite loop.

=46rom the information I found on various forums and mailing lists, it seem=
s=20
R300+ chipsets are not supported by Gatos yet. Is there any work in=20
progress ? Any documentation which I could use to fix TV-out support ? Any=

way to find out which registers have changed with the R300 serie ?

Best regards,

Laurent Pinchart
