gatos-devel Mailing List for GATOS

Hi all,

I managed to make tvout working on my laptop. The attached patch (applicable
on the devel branch, r128_driver.c rev. 1.2.2.4) does it, also adding
TVStandard config option (I didn't figure out how to do the stuff otherwise).

The VBE calls present int r128_driver.c originally seem to be those of
radeon, however, at least my chip 

(II) PCI: 01:00:0: chip 1002,4c46 card 1028,00b1 rev 02 class 03,00,00 hdr 00

does not underdtand most of them. Instead, being inspired by Lennart
Poettering's atitvout, I tried some mach64 calls which more or less do work.

The laptop seems not to support LCD and TV simultaneously.
The driver probes for connected TV on mode switch: if it's found the output is
redirected there -- this is fairly acceptable for me.

(Anyway, the chip behaves somewhat strange, e.g. being quite confused
with Option "Display" in config).


Cheers,

Ales

I've tried everything, but i can capture only with
avview. I need to capture with other resolutions than
720x576 and avview can't do this. There's anybody can
tell me how can i capture with xawtv, ffmpeg or other
program that support mjpeg? I use latest CVS and xfree 4.3.

Thanks for the info.  I have nothing plugged up to this unit
but the primary display (only display) which is a Samsung
Syncmaster 763mb.  I'll try downloading the tvout branch
and compiling that.  Thanks.

Do you have a second monitor (or TV) plugged into it.  I had this exact
same problem a few weeks ago.  It started all of a sudden for me.

Apparently the 7500 thinks there's a second monitor attached to the
card.  The only thing I could do to fix it was to download the TVout
branch from cvs.  Once I got it all compiled and installed, it worked
fine.  Make sure to set the "TVOutput" option in your XF86Config file.=20
Don't set it to "NOLOAD" though.  My desktop under X was all washed out
until I set it to NTSC.  Read the documentation to find what yours
should be set to.  Also, at resolutions higher than 1280x1024 I got some
corrupt lines (like static) on the desktop.

As a plus, now TV out works.

Hope that helps,
Anne =C2=A7:-)

Finally got my hands on a real AIW Radeon 7500.  I had everything
compiled from my attempts at making the AIW Radeon 9000 work, so
I figured it'd be a simple pop out old and pop in new kinda change.
Maybe change the board name string in the Device section, but
otherwise only a cosmetic change.

Well, when I tried to fire up X, I ran into this error:

No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD

Seemed kinda strange, as I have a CRT attached, albeit via
the DV to VGA converter supplied with the card (I was using
a similar connection with the 9000).

So, I searched google.  Ran through 10 pages of listings on
that error string, and tried everything I found, making sure
there was nothing on the video out port, changing settings
in the XF86Config file (such as using option crtscreen, in all
the variations I found, then found this isn't supported in
XF 4.3.0)

Anyway, in all cases, this error message remains and X does
not initialize.  Anyone got any help?  I'm trying hard to 
upgrade from my current system (ati xpert@play 8Mb, ati wonder
add in card on a PII system.  I've got a hot P4 as the base
but can't for the life of me find a combination that seems
to work with ati.2, and I've tried many.  I'm considering trying
the product from, I think it is Xcelerated X <sp>, but I really
want to avoid the problems with a single source type product and
wish to stay in the community).

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Hmm.. I would expect it to find libzvbi by itself. Perhaps libiconv
prevented this.

There is now a separate sound device choice in the capture setup.

Hi. I need to capture 1 fps with avview. Since directly using ffmpeg
freezes, I have to use avview.

ffmpeg -an -vd /dev/video0 -r 1 -s 720x288 -vcodec rawvideo -tvstd PAL out.avi

halts and I have to kill it.

I updated to the latest CVS of avview tonight and ran into a link 
problem with both libiconv and libzvbi.  I seem to remember having this 
happen to me before with the 0.2 version.  Anyway I had to edit the 
Makefile by hand to add these two libraries before I could get a 
successful link.

On to the sound question.  I get sound when watching live tv, but 
nothing when doing a capture.  My alsa device is going to hw:CARD-0 
which is my ensoniq 1371.  I've tried switching my capture source in the 
alsa section from "mix-mono" to "line" since that is the control in kmix 
which adjusts volume on the live avview.  I also have the capture volume 
goosed all the way up.  When capturing I see good levels on the audio 
monitors next to the luminosity histogram.

I bet if I ever get this straightened out, I'll also have the audio 
working with the Hauppage pvr-350 card I recently  installed in the same 
box.  Trying to get that working properly with mythtv is turning out to 
be a real adventure.

PS: I just had to re-subsribe to gatos-devel.  Not sure why I was booted 
off.

I've created a script to capture video with avview at specified time. The
recording can be preset using a GUI or, if you prefer, on the command
line.

The script is available at <http://www.hut.fi/~aajanki/tarec/> .

Antti Ajanki

When capturing with avview/ffmpeg i get segfaults as well. video alone
works nice, but with sound it segfaults always (there was a short
period, when it worked, without changing the setup).
very strange... perhaps it might have to do s.th. with those "engine
lockups" (see thread "sound with avview" ?!)....

when recording with ffmpeg from the commandline it worked, but it was
bad quality (displaced frames).

my workaround is to record with nuvrec and encode with avidemux
afterwards (anyway, my cpu is too slow for real-time-encoding). works
good for me.

martin

Hi all,

Capturing seems to be mostly working for me using avview-0.80.3 and the
matching ffmpeg-0.4.8 under X 4.3 using FC 1.  There are a few problems
still and I really hope someone can help.

1. Trying to capture MPEG-4 (.avi) causes immediate segfault

2. No sound captured (sort of) - Using either MPEG-1 or DVD the
capturing process appears to work but the resulting file has weird sound
encoding.  Under windows media player 9 the sound is there, though
choppy at the higher qualities, but playing under xine gives no sound
(xine on something else works fine).  During capture the sound bars are
moving merrily so I don't know what's going on.

My sound input is coming via line-in on the sound card and video is
coming through an rca plug from the vcr to the Ati dongle.

Any thoughts or ideas are most welcome.

Thanks,
Oliver

Thanks for your replies. I'm not a developer, and am having big problems 
compiling it (I'm only used to the ./configure && make && make install 
method). As one reply indicated that it probably wasn't going to work on a 
laptop anyway, I'm ready to give up on it and I don't want to annoy anyone by 
asking dumb questions. Below is my failed attempts at compiling it, but don't 
worry if you don't have time to reply. Thanks, Rich

Ok, got it from CVS using

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gatos co -r tv_output 
ati.2

Tried this:
  $xmkmf
output:
  mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
  imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config

then
  $make
output:
  several pages of errors.

tried $xmkmf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
output:
  mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
  imake -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/config/cf 
-DTOPDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config -DCURDIR=.
  Imakefile.c:35: Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory
  imake: Exit code 1.
    Stop.

Hi,

you should be using the tv_output branch of ati.2 CVS
repository for TV output support (the fact that your
log says "TVOutput" is not being used means that you're
not using the correct branch).
BTW, be advised that there are still some issues about TV 
output of laptop computers. Namely, you get the output
but its hor/ver frequencies are completely wrong, i.e.
you can't do anything useful with it, except, maybe,
getting a migraine by staring at the TV :( 
I'm trying to fix this but it will take some time as
I don't have an ATI equipped laptop. Anyone is willing
to lend me one? :)

The binaries don't support tv-out, you need the tvoutput branch from=20
CVS for that.

Good point. I put a link to LIRC on ati_remote webpage.
Could you check it and comment whether this is sufficient and/or whether
you would like anything changed.

i was able to get the 0.80.3 version of avview to compile.  this version 
does have the alsa settings panel and does have a select box to allow me 
to choose which audio card to record with.  i can record ok using the sb 
live card, but can't do anything with the onboard audio.

now, when i'm recording a video, the recording stops when the output 
gets to  about 150M.  I'm using the MPEG high quality setting and end up 
with < 10 minutes of video.    i don't see any error messages anywhere 
to figure out why this is happening.   the only thing i see is that in 
avview the filesize stops growing, and the histogram? slowly flatlines.  
i have 8 GB free space on the partition the file is being written to so 
it's not running out of space.  any suggestions?

so far so good, but if I want to start video capturing with xawtv (3.91),
I get the following messages: (the same with recent avview)

In the mailinglist i read about some guys they got radeon9000 with video=20
capture working
but I ask myself how you did ;)

there is one more interesting thing to mention, I had to remove the=20
modules from the multimedia-directory
of the driver, because elsewhile my machine crashes on startup.....

So I would be happy if someone have a useful hint....

thanks,
        Andr=E9.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I did that. I copied the 
radeon.o from the drm-kernel source directory 
into /lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o

I then checked it with modinfo and verified that it is the correct one from 
Gatos.

	Did you have the drm module from the kernel loaded?  I would exit X and rmmod any modules related to the radeon and drm before restarting X.  If you still don't have it after that run modinfo of the module and see what location it's at.  I've attached my XF86Config file.  Also you need to have all the xlibmesa and xlibmesa4 packages installed.  HTH.

Hello Antiphon,
I've got an AIW 7500 on Fedora Core 1.  Just a quick question.  Did you
want TV out or not?  If so, you'll need to download the XFree86 source
code (I used the updated src rpms from redhat) and the ati.2 tv_ouput
branch and drm-kernel from gatos cvs.  If you want video capture you'll
also need km from cvs and I would suggest avview from cvs as well for
video capture.

If not, it's possible that the drm-kernel didn't get installed
properly.  Check the radeon.o that's installed against the one that's in
your compiled drm-kernel directory.  Before I switched to the cvs, I had
this problem and had to copy the drm-kernel modules into place by hand.

I've also attached a copy of my XFree86 Config file.  The only
difference is that you won't need the Option "TVOutput" line unless
you're using the tv_output branch.

Hope this helps,
Anne =C2=A7:-)

OK, I finally got some time to redo my installation. But 3d is still not 
working. When I run glxgears, I only get around 200fps. Here's what I tried 
this time:

1. Backed up /usr/X11R6
2. rm -rf /usr/X11R6
3. Downloaded XFree86 4.3 binaries from the official server
4. Installed v4.3
5. Downloaded and installed the ati.2 drivers by unpacking them into /usr
6. Downloaded and installed the drm-kernel drivers.
7. Insmoded them.
8. Started up X.

I'm wondering if my XF86Config-4 file is messed up. Can someone with a 7500 
send me a copy of theirs? Is there some package that I need to install?

i reported a while back having errors recording audio using avview and 
the km driver. i can record video ok, but i have had no success with 
audio using my onboard audio chip (via82686a?).  i obtained a pci audio 
card (sb live) and now have two alsa devices including my onboard audio 
card.  i'd like to try to tell avview to use the new device when 
recording.  i don't see any alsa mixer area on the avview control panel 
the button on the top labeled "ALSA mixer" is red just like the other 
two buttons.  i see only xv attributes and a capture (v4l)  panels.

could someone help explain how i can tell avview to use my second audio 
card for capture?  i'll be sure to plug the audio out cable from the 
dongle into the audio input on the new pci audio card ;).

thanks!

I posted a note about a week ago about my Radeon AIW 7500 detecting a
second monitor that wasn't there.  Well after trying unsuccessfully to
get XFree86 to ignore it, I decided to stop fighting and go with the
flow.

I downloaded the CVS ati.2 with tvout support.  Since I'm using Fedora
Core 1, I downloaded the XFree86 source rpm from RedHat.  I compiled and
re-installed it and compiled against that build. Voila.  Almost.

It works fine now.  I even got drm and video capture working.  But the
picture is all faded, like it's been white-washed.  Not just the tv
image, but the whole desktop.  No amount of gamma correction or changing
monitor settings can fix it.  Someone posted to the XFree86 mailing list
with this same problem.  He thought that the monitor was being detected
as a DVI instead of a CRT.  (Mine's a CRT hooked up through a DVI to CRT
adapter.)  I couldn't find a solution.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Anne =C2=A7:-)
