shouldn't http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide be it? You
should be able to just compile the radeon module. Or I am missing something?

you could try replacing calls to pci_module_init() with
pci_register_driver(). I believe they have the same parameter, so it
should be easy.

I guess that it is a problem of drivers.

Actually, I don't know, which driver is used for mach64 cards. If it is
r128, then my packages could help, if it is radeon, then newer upstream
packages can help.

See also /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which may contain useful information on
hardware detection.

Hi.

Here I am again with this.
Now that gatos has been merged into x.org, I'd like to get tvout for my=20
igp9100. Some time ago, Hanno B=F6ck told that it was actually on work and =
it=20
would be available in the version 6.8 of the ati driver. Well, it is taking=
=20
some time, so I might try to compile from git... it I knew how. I've search=
ed=20
a bit and I have found no instructions or no tutorial for these. Could=20
anybody teach me a short way to do this? I'll have time to test it in 2=20
weeks. If it works, I'll let you know.

thanks
Alberto

Thanks, Stan. I updated the driver package with the one specified below
from your previous message:

I then killed and restarted X. Then I tried to run AVview again;
however, I got the same error as before. The only thing that was
different was the serial number. I get this error as soon as I click OK
below the prompt "It appears that you have not run AVview before...".

Is the problem with the driver or with AVview? And given that it is
unavailable, how do I get XVideo working?

Thanks in advance! ;)

No. Only OpenSUSE and only Factory (i. e. nor 10.2 nor 10.3) includes
this patch. Actually, it is sufficient to update r128_drv.so and
modules/multimedia directory.

Here is my package I used in 10.2. It is a bit outdated, but it worked
for me.
http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/ftp/suse/10.2/suse/i586/xorg-x11-driver-video-7.2-33.1.i586.rpm
(For x86_64, you have to recompile from my source in src directory, for
10.3 there is a package as well.)

It means, that the XVideo is not present.

Thanks Stan for your speedy reply. I checked my system's RPM database,
and found that the xorg-x11-driver-video package is already installed.
Is this package supposed to work with Mach 64 adapters?

I just compiled and installed AVview again without installing any extra
GATOS drivers. When I started it, I got the following:

linux:/usr/local/bin # start_avview
libzvbi available export modules:
        HTML:keyword "html" mimetype "text/html" extension "html,htm"

What's wrong?

These pending patches may help to you:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8811

If you don't want to build it yourself you could test SuSE Factory
xorg-x11-driver-video package, which include these patches.

It does not integrate TV-out patches and I have no plans to do it (I
have no device to test it).

Greetings GATOS developers,

I have an old ATI AIW Rage Pro (8 MB) installed in my system; I was told
some time ago that it is a type of Mach 64 display adapter. I managed to
get TV working years ago when I was running a version of Mandrake that
was equipped with XFree86. I am now running openSUSE 10.2, which is
equipped with X.org 7.2, and a 2.6 kernel.

However, the only version of X.org GATOS driver package that I could
find in your general download area was ati.6.7.0. I did not try CVS,
because I am only a user, not a developer. When I unpacked this tar
archive and opened its README file, I found the following message:

** Problems/bugs

   ATI Mach64 support has not made it into ati.4.4.0 (yet). This binary
   release does not support TV-out. If you have any other problems, bug
   reports or questions, please contact
gat...@li....

This tar archive has a timestamp of September 21, 2004. Has anyone been
working on this project since this date? Is this driver now available
(It is now 2008.)? I could not find evidence that it has been merged
into the X.org 7.2 tree. If someone could enlighten me as to the status
of this driver's development, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks in advance! ;)

Karl
