Hi all, Is anyone in a good position to look at what could be causing dri for ATI Rage 128 to interfere with xv or bttv? Or even better, does anyone with a bttv card and ATI Rage 128 (not Radeon) already have a working configuration - one which can run both kwintv 0.8.8 and accelerated 3D without restarting XFree86 4.1.0? Are you using the 2.4.9 kernel? I know the standard response to my question is "fix it yourself", and I do have access to the source code, but having the code is not the same as knowing how it is all supposed to interact. In this case, I would probably need to understand kernel debugging, kernel modules, bttv, drm, XFree86, XFree86 debugging, xv, OpenGL, glx, dri, r128 and the Hauppaauge WinTV/GO and ATI Rage 128 hardware specs before beginning to do any work on it myself. This could take me about 6 months solid work. My ISP (Bigpond) was blacklisted by SourceForge, so the following email message couldn't reach you. See: http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?query=139.134.6.96 for details. Thanks On Thu, 23 Aug 2001 08:10, Paul C.

Neither xawtv (in overlay) nor Zapping work without locking up the machine. Kwintv won't even run anymore, it segfaults at start. Been happening for months. BTW, latest version I know of is still 0.8.5. Only way I can do tv is to start X with an XF86Config.tv with DRI disabled. Last time there was a discussion here about it I don't think there were any fixes, at least none I remember.

I see there's no xv module listed in XF86Config so I take it one disables is similar to the xfree86-dga omit statement? > - I cannot use heavily GrabDisplay, I can grab individual frames, but if > I put xawtv in grabdisplay mode X dies and I get a gdm login. > GrabDisplay used to work great but not with recent kernels. I now get black screens in xawtv but iconifying and restoring the window or popping up something in front of it brings it back. Marc |

My modules section looks like this: Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "dbe" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "extmod" SubSection "extmod" # Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "xie" # Load "v4l" Load "type1" Load "freetype" EndSection If I load v4l X starts up nicely, but stops to respond as soon as I open xawtv, wich is compiled with XF 4.1 headers so it uses the Xv extension. -- Jorge Nerin <com...@za...> |
