I think that what you have over there in way of documenation is great so just create a web page for it : your freebsd driver paper, your pnp paper, suggestions for areas for volunteers to concentrate on, sound card doc repository, etc... And I will like the sound driver web page to go under the multimedia web page at freebsd.org -- this is not a control thingy rather to beef up our multimedia web page ...

I'm on 2.2-stable (as of a couple days ago), fxtv-0.44, X3.3.1, afterstep and an STB TV card. I'm using a matrox card in 16bpp mode. I've had no problems at all. I just plugged some rabbit ears into the STB card, and away I go. Screen captures are quite good. I'm also running netscape etc, and havn't had any problems like that. I do sometime find that the video suffers from "jaggies". The picture looks interlaced and the lines aren't synched properly. I can usually get that to go away with resizing the window slightly with the aspect lock turned on. As a side note, does anybody have a suggestion of a cheap camera to add to the STB card? I don't own a video camera. I'm not looking for really high quality video, just something to play with. I know someone who purchased a "USR Big Picture" . That comes with it's own camera and card, and is availible for ~$200USD. I looked at the card, it is also bt848 based, any ideas if it also works with the driver? -bill -- William Lloyd (wlloyd@mpd.ca) | From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Sep 28 10:03:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA13215 for multimedia-outgoing; Sun, 28 Sep 1997 10:03:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from neptune.ajc.state.net (neptune.ajc.state.net [204.120.158.168]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA13206 for ; Sun, 28 Sep 1997 10:03:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from AJC.State.Net (pluto.ajc.state.net [204.120.158.169]) by neptune.ajc.state.net (8.8.6/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA18165 for ; Sun, 28 Sep 1997 12:02:33 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <342FDEEC.2FA35CE1@AJC.State.Net> Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 12:01:32 -0500 From: Al Johnson Reply-To: Al.Johnson@AJC.State.Net Organization: Al Johnson Consulting X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.02 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: xftv References: <342E6C50.B181CA2F@AJC.State.Net> <342E8085.1308@mpd.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Here's something that may be indicative of the problem When I start xftv I get the following error: Active visual doe not support direct video ... backing off and using XImage Is there something I can do to correct this?

According to the docs on the yamaha site http://www.yamahayst.com/opl3sa0.htm they have an integrated SB and WSS compatible codec. I have seen these cards quite cheap here (comparable to OPTI and Crystal devices) and so I was curious if they are available elsewhere and if it is worthwhile try to support them as well (as a rule, I would not bother with cards which have a very limited availability, unless the porting effort is minimal. But in this case the port seems to be simple, and the card might be quite widespread even if they don't seem to have a data sheet online). If anyone with such a card can try it with my sound driver, or send me the output of pnpinfo, I would be grateful.

I have a Millennium with 8MB of WRAM, and I've seen the same shift problem under XFree86 in direct video mode. IIRC, it does run normally at 1024x768, but not at 1280x1024. Right now I'm running with AcceleratedX in XImage mode. It works fine...

To have full duplex you might want to use the mss device. If you only care about audio, I would suggest you to use my sound driver (see http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD.html) which is now in -current and has much better support for PnP and WSS cards. Also could you send me the output of "pnpinfo" ?

I like the graphics. But while to an engineer the symbols mean something, to a casual user they might just suggest some unspecified hi-tech stuff. What is really important is that they look nice, and they do. My comment was just that the page layout is more on the 'commercial' side than on the technical side, and this is a good thing.

I'm trying to get sound going under FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE. The problem I have is that both sound cards I have are PnP. One is an Ensoniq SoundscapeVIVO and the other is a Sound Blaster AWE64 PnP. I've installed the FreeBSD-PnP kernal stuff, a couple times since cvsup elected to remove it for me. The SoundScape Vivo will emulate a SB card, which model I'm not sure but it is a full duplex card. Part of the trouble I'm having is figuring out what info from pnpinfo I need to plug into pnp.c and my /sys/i386/conf/hostname. pnpinfo dumps out 4 printed pages of data, the addresses I think I've got (330, 530 and 2100) but the irq and drq are listed all over the place. Anyone will to offer their assitance to this soundless person. I felt pretty good about getting my STB TV/PCI going but now I'd like to hear it too.

I've got the xftv 0.44 package installed, the bktr0 |and tuner0 devices created and I get video.... but... (Amancio, ccing you on this regarding a few driver bugs to add to your list.) Sounds like the group was able to get you going with 15bpp. On my STB Velocity 3D 4MB w/ XFree 3.3.1 and S3V server using the 970604 driver off the Fxtv home page, I find the following Fxtv resource settings useful: ! Video-mode specific stuff Fxtv.bswap2Bpp: true Fxtv.bswap3Bpp: true Fxtv.bswap4Bpp: true Fxtv.wswap4Bpp: true Fxtv.disableDirectV: false Fxtv.Bpp24bit: 3 Fxtv.Bpp32bit: 3 This'll give good results for 8, 15, 16, 24, and 32bpp as configured in XF86Config, using direct video in 15 and 16bpp, and XImages in 8, 24, & 32. Note that 24 & 32bpp are internally both 3Bpp; that is, 3 bytes per pixel on the frame buffer with the S3V server. These settings force XImages for 24- and 32-bpp mode because a driver extension and fix is necessary to support direct video correctly for 3Bpp (packed 24-bit). You'll notice that with some video window widths, half of your window will look ok while the other half will be too red-, blue-, or green-ish and there'll be a black line running up the middle of the window. I believe that's a bug in the driver building the Bt848 RISC program. Also, you'll see that when your video window is situated so X % 3 == 0, the window looks OK, whereas with X % 3 == 1, your video will be displayed with RGB mapped to BRG, and with X % 3 == 2, RGB -> GBR. All that is changing from the app side is the start address in PCI memory, but it somehow seems that the pixel components aren't synchronized with this start address when rolling out of the FIFO. Anyway, here's an Fxtv patch in case you want to play with direct video in 24bpp. This shouldn't affect 8, 15, and 16bpp. --- xutil.c.ORIG Mon Sep 29 18:21:43 1997 +++ xutil.c Mon Sep 29 18:21:51 1997 @@ -735 +735 @@ - XUTILGetVisualBpp( display, vi, &Bpp, NULL ); + XUTILGetVisualBpp( display, vi, NULL, &Bpp ); Randall From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Sep 29 17:17:31 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA20085 for multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 17:17:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from whqvax.picker.com (whqvax.picker.com [144.54.1.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA20077 for ; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 17:17:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ct.picker.com by whqvax.picker.com with SMTP; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 20:12:36 -0400 (EDT) Received: from elmer.ct.picker.com by ct.picker.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA25690; Mon, 29 Sep 97 20:12:30 EDT Received: by elmer.ct.picker.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id UAA06225; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 20:08:41 -0400 Message-Id: <19970929200841.34122@ct.picker.com> Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 20:08:41 -0400 From: Randall Hopper To: "Michael G.

The thing I was trying to do was overcome the deadlock problems I was having with some cards -- noticeably the SB16 and OPTI -- when working in full duplex. To this purpose, I did some modifications to the dma code to see what was really going on. More specifically, I added some sanity checks, and programmed the ISA DMA controller with a larger count, so that I could confirm my idea that some cards would miss dma transfers and overrun their programmed count. Unfortunately things appear to be much worse than I imagined. When used in single DMA mode, ALL cards I have, to different degrees, appear to be generate interrupts at different stages of the DMA transfer. The most reliable ones (4236/4237) seem to interrupt almost always at the end of count, although occasionally (say every 100..1000 interrupts) they interrupt 1-2 samples earlier. For the SB16-Vibra16, interrupts seem to come 1 sample earlier in 50..100% of the cases (it is not systematic). The OPTI interrupts up to 8 bytes before the due time, and in some cases completely misses interrupts and reinitializes the DMA for another transfer. The problem with these early (or "advisory") interrupts is that missing bytes (or samples) cannot be recovered, generating clicks which are more or less audible. In the worst cases (e.g. when the missing bytes are not a multiple of the sample size) the next DMA transfer will be completely misaligned, with the effects that you can well imagine... This suggests that I should forget the idea of try to support single DMA since most cards screw up when they are reprogrammed in single DMA mode. So, although the code I have now is slightly more robust than snd970924.tgz, there is no much point in releasing it since it is still triggering bugs in the cards. If nothing else, now I have a much better understanding of the problem, and know how to possibly fix it.

SciTech Software is pleased to announce the final release of the SciTech MGL has just been uploaded to our public ftp site, and things have changed quite significantly since the prior MGL 3.0 release. The biggest difference is a change in the distribution and licensing policies for the SciTech MGL. SciTech MGL 4.0 is now freely available on the internet with full source code! After thinking long and hard about the development of the MGL libraries, we realised there were lots and lots of things that could be done with the MGL that SciTech Software simply does not have the bandwidth or desire to develop internally. This includes ports to other operating systems like the Macintosh, OS/2, Rhapsody and Linux, support for portrait display modes, printing support, ehanced blitting support and much more. In an effort to make SciTech MGL better for everyone, we decided to release the full source code under a new Public License to the internet development community at large. It is our hope that developers on the internet will seize this opportunity to begin developing with a solid, commerical graphics library and expand it beyond the horizons that we had originally envisioned. If you are interested in helping with the development of the SciTech MGL libraries, we have created a new newsgroup on our local news server dedicated to this purpose with the name 'scitech.mgl.developer'. Our local newsgroup server is located at 'news.scitechsoft.com', so log onto this newsgroup to check out the latest developments with the MGL. We have put together a document that describes all of the cool and wonderul additions and enhancements that we have thought would make the MGL a better product in a file called PROJECTS.TXT in the \devel directory on our ftp site. Take a look at this file to get an idea of the different projects that you could work on. Eventually we will update this file with lists of developers working on different projects within the MGL source code. SciTech Software will of course continue to maintain and develop the MGL libraries, since the libraries are used extensively by SciTech Software for other internal development projects. We also provide a number end user support options for customers who require email or telephone support for the MGL (see SciTech MGL Support Options in the readme file for more information). WHERE TO GET IT? You can download the MGL 4.0 final release archives from: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel The directory contains a number of different installation archives that you can download depending on whether you want the source code and which compiler you are using. MGLB40.EXE Base install archive. This archive contains all of the MGL sample program source code, online help versions of the MGL Programmer's Guide and MGL Reference Manual and the Makefile Utilities. You must download and install this archive before you can install any of the other arhives. MGLF40.EXE Font and sample program data files install archive. This archive contains the complete set of font files for the SciTech MGL, along with complete copies of the bitmap data files and 3D object files for the MGL sample programs. You should probably download and install this, but these files rarely change between releases so you dont need to re-download this file when a new release is made. MGLS40.EXE Source code install archive. This archive contains the complete source code to the SciTech MGL. You don't need to download this archive in order to be able to use the SciTech MGL, however you will need to download this if you plan to re-compile any of the libraries. If you have a compiler that is not directly supported by our pre-built libraries, you will have to download this archive and compile the MGL with your compiler. MD40BC50.EXE Borland C++ 5.0 for DOS object code install archive, with all necessary libraries and header files. MD40WC11.EXE Watcom C++ 11.0 for DOS object code install archive, with all necessary libraries and header files. MD40DJ20.EXE DJGPP 2.01 for DOS object code install archive, with all necessary libraries and header files. MW40BC50.EXE Borland C++ 5.0 for Win32 object code install archive, with all necessary libraries and header files. MW40VC50.EXE Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 for Win32 object code install archive, with all necessary libraries and header files.

At one point I remember a discussion that DAT backup drives have a media sensor on it and the DAT tapes are encoded depending on their intended use. The audio ones are poorer quality I guess and the DAT drives will reject them. So I don't think that'll work at all, unless you have a drive that says it supports audio tapes too.

Loaded question! ;-) The BT848-based cards (Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Intel Smart Video Recorder III, many others) are PCI based cards with great video quality and low system overhead. They are extensively supported in FreeBSD. Most come with a tuner onboard so you can watch TV on your FreeBSD box. :-) http://www.freebsd.org/~ahasty/Bt848.html This page was recently redone and looks great!

All DDS drives that I know have a switch to determine whether DAT tapes should be rejected. If you want to handle DAT tapes, you could enable them by turning the switch off. Unfortunately, I don't think that that alone would solve the problem.

Thanks to a little bit of luck, things went much better than I expected, and although there are still some improvements that I plan to do, the code appears to work surprisingly better than the previous release, fixing various problems which I was having in the past with the OPTI and the SB16, and in general working better also on the CS42xx An EXPERIMENTAL snap of the new audio driver is at http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/snd971003b.tgz This is mainly intended for those who want to spend some time testing audio apps, stress the driver and send me feedback on what works and what does not. For this reason the kernel is a little bit verbose; don't worry if you see things like "Race!" appearing in the logfile, it is harmless and just serves to flag some events. If you don't have time for such testing, please DON'T download this and wait for a next snapshot in a few days. It is preferable if you have already had experience with previous snaps of my driver, so that would save you some time in the installation (you can replace the snd/ subdirectory with the one in this distribution, and check your version of isa.c against the patch in the README file -- there is a one-line change to isa.c to make isa_dmastart less verbose). I have tested this code, and have it working in full duplex, on CS4236, CS4237, OPTI931, SB16 Vibra16. It _should_ work with the Ensoniq SoundscapeVIVO, Yamaha SA2 (aka YM711), and in general with all WSS clones. It is _NOT_ supposed to work on the SBPro or other SB2/SB3 clones.

But it has been done in kernel defaults, disallowing the use of a composite video NTSC camera for videoconferencing aplications. Also, the composite video input could also be used with other formats, independently of the tuner. I think that the best approach is to add an ioctl to change video input format. Changing between NTSC and PAL/M is not a problem, I'll try to get a prototyype this weekend. But changing between NTSC (525 lines) and traditional PAL formats (625 lines) could be a problem. I could limit the driver to accept format changes only between same resolution ones. Is this an acceptable restriction ? It's easy to see from the sources that this driver was adapted from the existing meteor driver. I know nothing about the meteor card, but I think that these similarities are restricting the features of the BrookTree (wonderful) chip. Should we limit frame grabber features to the commom ones, or should we use every possible feature available and let the user level software select which ones to use ?
