 Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:33 pm Post subject: X vrs UniChrome Pro IGP in the Via VB7001 mini-itx mainboard |
 |
|
I just got a VB7001 that I intend to use for a media pc. I'm attempting (not successfully) to get X running on it.
I'm trying to use the tv-out rather than the VGA port.
I keep getting:
| Code: | (WW) via: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found |
whenever I try to start X up.
lspci output:

I don't really know how to proceed further. It seems like since all of this is integrated in the MB, somebody ought to have a working xorg.conf somewhere. |

Hi
I have a VIA Epia with a working UniChrome Pro graphics card. I compared my xorg.conf with yours and there is a tiny difference where you show...
I wrote mine as...
Hope this helps. My full xorg.conf is:

| To clarify, are you using x11-drivers/xf86-video-via? Do you have xv working as well? |

Mmmhh, I was using xf86-video-via until last week. I entered in the "/etc/make.conf" file, in the "USE=" section, the flags "xv" and "xvmc". Here is my full "USE=" line:
| Code: |
USE="X alsa apache2 -3dnow a52 aac aalib acpi bluetooth bzip2 cdparanoia cdr ch it tv_check tv_pick_cgi de_tvtoday dts dvd dvdr dvdread encode esd ffmpeg flac ftp gif gps gstreamer java javascript jpeg -ldap lirc mad -matrox mime mjpeg mmx mmxext mp3 mp4 mpeg musicbrainz mysql ogg opengl pcmcia png pdf qt quicktime real sdl server sse svga tiff -unicode usb USB v4l v4l2 visualization -voodoo3 vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf gtk2 yv12 x264 xine xmms xv xvid xvmc"

That way I had a "kind-of-hardware-accellerated" mpeg-playback, but the video got currupted with resolutions higher than ~800x600.
This week I've been fiddling around with replacing the "via" driver with the "openchrome" version and the CPU-usage with mpeg2-playback dropped from 80 to 3% (mpeg4 stayed at ~40% with low-res, e.g. 640x250) and the corruption with resolutions higher than 800x600 has almost disappeared.
I am writing a tiny how-to here http://www.blah-blah.ch/Mra/Viacn400xvmc but I still have problems with >800x600 meaning that with mplayer I sometimes have to switch between video-aspects with "-monitoraspect 16:10" and "-monitoraspect 16:9" to avoid video corruption, but it is still a lot lot lot better than before. |
