 Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2005 4:17 pm Post subject: which driver ?? |
 |
|
Hi all,
I am not able to play video in full screen mode....i googled a lot and found that if i add zoom=yes option in the config file then i twill work.Indeed it is working but the frame rate is slow and the whole comp becomes slow i did not have this problem with fc3 frm which i migrated to gentoo in the hope of better performance Sad
xvinfo gives this
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
|
I have an intel board and on reading frm the intel site i got to find that i have and intel advanced graphics card.........if it helps and in the driver section of xorg.conf(which i came to know after some googling that it is equivalent to XF86Config) i have
| Quote: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "Intel 865"
EndSection |
and this is what intel has to say in the video section of my board
| Quote: | Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 controller
Universal 0.8/1.5 V AGP 3.0 connector supporting 1x, 4x, and 8x AGP cards or an AGP Digital Display (ADD) card
Integrated retention mechanism |
| Quote: | | now i have discovered that i do not have an item named /dev/agpgart that i used to have on fc3 so now is this the cause of the porblem and how to fix this... |
please be a bit descriptive as to which file i have to edit and what do i have to put in to it to change that adapters thing..
i would like to say that
Advance thanks for any help. I have been as descriptive as i can but still if any more details frm my side can help me solve the prob then plz do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you
vb
p.s- i note the fact that the prob seems like prob of mplayer but i wud like to say that ihave tried xine as well with no positive results so i tend to feel that the porb is more related to X than mplayer...so i am posting it here....am sorry is i am worng.....

post your xorg.conf , it will help to solve your problem . without it its a bit hard to know what may be wrong, excluding that you have everything ok on your kernel it can only be on your xorg.conf

run to find out the chipset then go to the driver home page download it , or see if it is already on your kernel, you gotta find out wich driver it needs once you find it the rest is easy, your xorg seems ok to me....
try running an to see if it loads any modules correponding to it

you must set you board chipset on your kernel in order to have AGP working .

im sure there are drivers or something to solve your problems search better on the forum and try googling, theres always something you can do.
See the Board manufacter and all that crap and make a good search for drivers .

Thank you very much for your replies.....the problem is now solved!!...
Mistake: I forgot to autoload the intel_agp and agpgart modules.When i did not do that in xvinfo i did not get the adapters so now i am getting them and i now see the devce /dev/agpgart which i did not see earlier.I think this wud be a way to identify and map to my problem isomorphically.
Solution: Just load them!!
cheers
