[GATOS]KM and 2.6

[Andrew S. J. <an...@as...>]

Avview from CVS works under Slackware 10.0 RC1 using the stock 2.6.7 kernel in 
testing/ and ati.4.4.0 from CVS.  Slackware now uses X.org, BTW.   Drm-kernel 
from CVS didn't compile (is it for 2.4.x only?), but the stock radeon kernel 
module seems to work for tuner support.  The km modules build and load, but I 
get this in dmesg when they are loaded:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Kmultimedia module version alpha-3.0 loaded
Page size is 4096 sizeof(bm_list_descriptor)=16 sizeof(KM_STRUCT)=1212

And this when I scan for the capture device:

Processing "VIDEO_STREAM_ACTIVE"="1" int_value=1
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

It doesn't crash or lockup, which is a pleasant surprise.  It looks like it's 
close.  Does anyone know how to make this work, or is it a non-working thing 
right now?

Also, is the tuner output supposed to show on every KDE desktop as an alpha 
overlay, or is something wrong?  Is the alpha of the tuner display 
adjustable?  I did see a slider for changing the alpha of the background 
which works well enough, but I'm not sure why I'd want to do that.

Thanks,
