1 OK ... I think I've made a little more progress, but I think I am still
2 missing something....
3
4 I switched to the Open Source ATI Drivers. But there are issues with this :/
5 1) I can't play Doom3, so if I want to, I have to switch drivers are
6 restart X .... but that's not the bigger issue.
7
8 tvtime loads now. I figured out what modules to load to create the
9 /dev/video0 device
10
11
12 tuner 64360 0
13 cx8800 40124 0
14 cx88xx 72036 1 cx8800
15 ir_common 39620 1 cx88xx
16 tveeprom 20240 1 cx88xx
17 compat_ioctl32 11072 1 cx8800
18 btcx_risc 7432 2 cx8800,cx88xx
19 vivi 21716 1
20 video_buf 28932 3 cx8800,cx88xx,vivi
21 videodev 30592 4 cx8800,cx88xx,vivi
22 v4l1_compat 14340 1 videodev
23 v4l2_common 22336 6
24 tuner,cx8800,cx88xx,compat_ioctl32,vivi,videodev
25
26
27 modprobe vivi creates the device
28 modprobe cx8800 (the bttv replacement from what I can tell)
29 then modprove tuner
30
31 ow the problem is tvtime (and xawtv) gets stuck on screen, can't kill
32 the process, even after restarting X, the process is still in memory :/
33
34 So I am still missing something ....
35
36 On the upside, I have YU12/YUY2 Overlays
37
38 From xine-check
39 [ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2
40 [ good ] your Xv extension supports YV12 overlays (improves MPEG
41 performance)
42 [ good ] your Xv extension supports YUY2 overlays
43 [ good ] Xv ports: RGBA RGBT RGB2 YUY2 UYVY YV12 I420
44
45 so ... it's progress ... but I don't think a step forward :/ maybe a
46 step sideways .....
47
48 Anywho .. I am going to reboot one last time to get rid of these stuck
49 apps and reload the fglrx driver so I can play doom3.
50
51 Any more idea's would be greatly appreciated.
