So I just installed my first Rainbow Runner into my machine. First I setup and installed everything in Windows. Then I went on to Linux. I had already downloaded and compiled the most recent drivers: mgavideo-0.1.0-test2 First, xawtv seems to work find if I have the "Video source" set to Television. If I set it to "Composite," though, I no longer get any audio (though the video is fine). (Audio works fine under Windows for both TV and Composite, so I'm pretty sure the hardware is installed properly). Second, I can't seem to get w3cam (http://www.hdk-berlin.de/~rasca/w3cam/) to work with Composite video at all (though Television works fine), which might be more of a problem with w3cam than the marvel drivers. This last one is mostly geared to Leon, but if anyone else has suggestions, please let me know. Broadcast 2000, with or without Leon's patch, seems to only use Composite video when recording. When I change channels, the video source stays the same. Also, I only get audio for about a second before it turns to silence. Anyway, if anyone has any idea what might be going on and how to fix it, I'd appreciate some help :-) I'm send this to both lists since I'm not quite sure which one is appropriate. If one is correct, and the other isn't, please let me know. Adam |

One more quick thing... For all the problems I have getting Composite audio to work, as soon as X starts up the Composite audio kicks in. As soon as I start xawtv, the audio goes off till I select television. Adam On Fri, 30 Mar 2001, Adam K Kirchhoff wrote: > > So I just installed my first Rainbow Runner into my machine.

Nope, the volume from the line-in definately isn't muted. In addition, I finally hooked up a second monitor to the G400 Max I have. If I'm running dualhead, when I install the drivers for the rainbow runner, the secondary head completely blanks. The primary head is still usable. Killing X and restarting it results in massive amounts of distortion on the secondary head.

That's because the video is routed through the G400's MAFC port, where the maven TV out chip is normally connected, but MAFC is also used for the 2nd head. i think :^) <leon/> |

> So, basically, my only recourse is not to use the secondary head, huh? :-) If you're not using the video out, then it would still be usable, if the maven support was made optional in the driver.. which should be quite easy to do. <leon/> |

Also, I only get audio for The patch for marvel support is based on the existing LML33 support; it didn't have support for switching the input channel, so neither does the marvel patch. If the marvel is selected as capture device, there shouldn't be a channel selection button btw. The marvel is set to composit input (hardcoded, sorry..). See vdevicemjpeg.C around line 50. 0=composite, 1=svhs. <leon/> |
