 Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2003 2:18 am Post subject: Yet another question about Tv-out for Ati cards |
 |
|
I have Radeon 7500 with xvideo output. I have tested it on Windows and it works fine.
On Linux I have a picture only when I am in the console.
I have build in the kernel support for framebuffer (tip and tricks)
I tried to run (from the console) mplayer -vo directfb, but I am getting the following error
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
I guess this is because mplayer -vo help does not show directfb.
Anyway, what I would like to do is to modify the system so that I have a picture when I am in X.
I have read that for that I need to load the vesa driver, but thats gives me some errors. I want to have only one XF86COnfig file
Here is my XF86Config file:

It can not be that difficult.
I know it is a problem that it is being discussed several times.
Can you at least give the link to the discussion? I was not able to find it
Thank you |

I'd actually recommend a different approach (the one I'm using with the same video card). If you get the tv-out branch of the CVS tree from the Gatos site it will give you tv out support in X which is somewhat accelerated (XV works and stuff like that). I've been using that for a few weeks and I'm happy with it (although it still requires you boot up with a regular external monitor.
In the past I've tried the framebuffer approach but I could never get it working correctly....

Did you use the fglrxconfig program and specify two monitors? This sort of worked for me, although when I last tried it there were some glitches.

Xmm, I need some help here. Where can I find fglrxconfig?
It seems to me that it is in ati-driver packages. I have radeon 7500 which is not supported by the ati-drivers.
Also I saw that it is good to run opengl-update ati. But why?
Thank you for the info |

Do you need to do any changes in the XF86Config file?
Do you need to create a second screen, like I have done above?
I am sorry guys for the trouble but I am really lost. |
