I can confirm it didn't.  I made the changes to km.c and now it loads
fine. =20

Now, is ati-4.4.0 all I need to capture with the Theatre 200, or do I
need to get Xorg cvs?  Right now I'm running Xorg 6.8.2 with the
ati-gatos 4.4.0 ebuild in gentoo.  It's apparently an older version
because it doesn't recognize everything on my card:

Okay the cvs version works, and now I can clearly see my composite in,
and hear it on my ATI AIW9000 pro.  So good job Bogdan, it works well.
Now if only I could get the audio to switch to the tuner, and I would be
off to the races!!!

That's what I suspected.  Maybe this didn't make it into CVS?

Try CVS version of avview (and km, if you are using km). If it still 
crashes, check dmesg for more info about the crash.

Better using the latest avview.

Okay maybe it will get to the list this time

I saw this and got quite excited, so I downloaded a tree, set it all up
for my ati AIW 9000.  Of course I knew that I probably wouldnt get
optimal performance as my card isnt supported, however I want to take a
crack at getting it to work properly again, and make some use out of
this card.  I got everything compiled(attached is my logfile), and
everything seems to be fine.

  The problem I ran into is loading avview, it segfaults with this error
start_avview.no[8986]: segfault at ffffffffff96076a rip 0000000000405795
rsp 0000007fbfffe350 error 4
and I have absolutely no idea what this means.

Its been a while since I have fiddled with the gatos code, but since
school is almost over, I will probably start playing with it again on my
free time.

Hello all.

I have what I hope is a fairly simple problem and just need some advice on
where to go from here.

I have an ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon (the first one, with no extra numbers
at the end) inside a box running kernel 2.6.11 and X.org 6.8.2.  I have
successfully gotten DRM to work using the driver provided by X.org, and I
have successfully gotten TV viewing to work using the ati.2 package.  Now
I am trying to get video capture to work.

I have compiled and installed the kernel modules provided by the km
package, using the latest CVS tree (downloaded on 4/25/2005).  They load
cleanly, and I see video devices appear under /dev/v4l, however, any
attempt to access those devices results in a "no data available" message. 
A look at dmesg shows this:

   Kmultimedia API module version alpha-6.0 loaded
   Kmultimedia module version alpha-6.0 loaded
   Page size is 4096 sizeof(bm_list_descriptor)=16 sizeof(KM_STRUCT)=732

   Purging transfer queue
   WARNING !   Radeon memory controller is misconfigured, disabling capture
   WARNING !   upgrade your Xserver and DRM driver
   km: no data is available until AVview or xawtv is started

This makes me suspect that I need a different DRM driver, since the web
page for the GATOS drm-kernel package says that it is needed for both DRM
and video capture to behave with each other.  However, that code hasn't
been updated literally in years, and I can't get it to compile at all.

So, is it possible to get video capture with my current hardware/software
configuration?  If so, what do I need to do at this point?

Thanks for any help.

Actually ATI does have multiple desktops. Get Hydravision.

A PCI Radeon 9200 is heading my way right not. If there is something
outside of Xorg releases, that can "enhance my experience" with it,
let me know...

I'll try to turn on all warning flags to help catch 64-bit related
bugs. Thanks!

I've just commited the code for RageTheatre200 in
X.org cvs last week. As I know it hasn't been tested
on 64bits platforms.

AFAIK there are several r128 related patches to Xorg code made 
independently by several people (Bogdan and few others). I am also 
little bit lost and not sure on status of that code. For example if the 
tuner code is then compatible with the dri acceleration. I was playing 
with those codes in the early stage and build Xorg for myself (with 
partial success - no dri), but at the end I decided to wait till 
everything is merged into Xorg CVS.

But can anybody update on the current status as I was not able to 
follow for last 2-3 months?

Can't you release a diff against the current Xorg tree? FreeBSD's
ports, for example, will then be able to offer a WITH_GATOS option.

I'm getting a Radeon 9200 (PCI) this week and would like to build GATOS
for my FreeBSD/amd64 machine.

The reason is that it is not possible to compile drivers without entire 
X.org tree. Chances are by the time X.org switches to fully modular design
all GATOS driver code would be merged.

And as for code already merged into X.org - there is no reason to release 
separate source.

And AVview source has always been available and relatively easy to build.
(you just need ./configure, perhaps with a couple of extra options if you 
want mpeg video recording)

Why don't you, guys, release buildable source code once in a while --
like most other SourceForge projects? :-)

Once you do, I'll make a FreeBSD port x11/gatos. Deal?

I was unable to get the Xorg cvs stuff to work with my
64 bit system and AIW Pro 8Mb (old card.)  However, I
think this *should* work - as Vladimir stated.

Specifically, I run fc3 64bit and I tried the cvs code
from xorg, avview, and km.  This was about 3 weeks
ago.  

In a nutshell, getting tv-in working may be at least a
little more complicated than just using the latest CVS
sources.

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to get back at
troubleshooting yet.

Seamus

The older Radeon and Rage Theatre based cards are supported directly by 
X.org. Also, Bogdan Diaconescu might have some code for newer Rage Theatre 
200 based cards - the older code is in CVS, I don't think X.org code has 
been committed anywhere yet. (Bogdan - please correct me !:) )

Yeah, but where does one _fine_ the "appropriate source code"? All, that's
available for download are binaries, it seems...

You would need to compile the appropriate source code yourself. Keep in 
mind that not all recent cards have been tested and some might not work..

Hello!

Having given up on NVidia, I plan to buy a Radeon for my FreeBSD/amd64
system.

I there a chance to get GATOS driver for it though? All, that's avaiable
for download on SourceForge seems to be 32-bit :-(

Thanks!

I always have problems with my ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro TV Tuner since
I switched to Mandrake 10.0 which includes kernel 2.6. With Mandrake
10.1 and Fedora Core 3, I still cannot use my TV Tuner. XawTV, the
application I am using to watch TV, tells me that there is no video
grabber. I tried to install the ATI.2 binaries and nothing happens.
With FC3, XawTV searches for a Video4Linux device and AVView quits
immediately upon startup, no matter if the ATI.2 driver is installed or
not. It simply seems that this driver does nothing under Linux with
kernel 2.6 or XFree86 4.4/Xorg 6.7 or 6.8. I tried to look for a
precompiled 2.4 kernel for Fedora Core 3, but it seems not to exist.
My conclusion is that I did not understand the goal of the GATOS
project. I thought it was intended to make working drivers for the ATI
graphic cards, including TV in and TV out. Currently, this is not the
case. So what does the GATOS projet do? Is the driver development
discontinued?
What can I do for my ATI card? Switch back to Windows and use that
system only? I hate Windows, because it has no multi-desktop
capabilities and becomes slower with time. It would be a real pain for
me to change my graphic card, because I do not know which brand to
choose. Matrox cards with TV Tuners are really too expansive. NVIDIA
seems worse under Linux than ATI because it requires a closed-source
driver which limits which kernel the user can use.
I would like some clues about how to make my ATI Tuner card working
under Linux, if that is at all possible with kernel 2.6.
Thanks

Hi,

I don't really know how to do anything with CVS beyond what is listed on 
the basic instructions on SourceForge, and GATOS requires some 
sophistication to do meaningful checkouts, so I was wondering if you 
could help me out.  I want to do a checkout of ati.2 w/ TV output of 
X.org X11-6.7.0.  What do I need to put in to get that?

Thanks,
William

Did you try the version from CVS?
I don't use km_drv currently but the probing problem was a patch in this list 
and i probably now fixed in CVS. It's a linux problem with two driver modules 
for the same PCI device.

Well, 2.6.11.7 doesn't work either.  Looking at the kernel source and
km.c, it has the correct PCI ID for my Radeon so it should find the
device.  So pci_register_driver should find my card and then call
km_probe, right?  Evidently that's not happening...since the original
message does not include the probing line as I saw in another person's
post.

Does anyone have any idea why that is or how I can troubleshoot this
issue short of delving farther into the kernel source?

Thanks,

Wes

Nothing gets logged...  Instant hard-lockup starting avview.

I'm guessing it might be some oddness with this being a SMP box and/or a 
dual-head with two video cards...  (or else it just causes everyone 
instant hard lockups...  does it work for anyone?  :)
