Message-Id: <20020405221335.3b38ee77.heikkis@login.ifi.uio.no> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.7.1 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-unknown-freebsd4.5) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was wondering if the Gatos project at sourceforge.net could be ported to Freebsd? http://gatos.sourceforge.net/, Or if there allready are some equvalent allready portet to freebsd. The Gatos project creates drivers and software for the ATI all in wonder(AIW) series, and on their homepage they claim that only some slight modifications would give basic support on freebsd in adition to linux. http://www.ati.com/products/pc/aiwradeon8500dv/index.html <-- Newest AIW http://www.ati.com/products/pc/aiwpro/index.html <-- Oldest AIW The ati.2 XFree driver: http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ati.2.php Probably works without any fbsd modifications, at least it hasn't crashed my X yet. (Knock on wood) The avview utility: http://gatos.sourceforge.net/avview.php This is the most important utility, if this and the ati.2 Xfree driver work it would give basic support for the ATI all in wonder series in FreeBSD. In adition the avview utility requires: ffmpeg >0.4.5 (0.4.6 available on cvs at sourceforge.net) video4linux support... could Fbsd linux emulation work with video4linux kernel modules? Please help, someone? I'd like to get rid of my VCR and TV ;) I would of course be willing to gi what help I can to anyone willing to try make this work. (heck, If I could program *anything* I'd do it myself... But I'm grosly incompetent when it comes to programming.)
