Because it's an unsupported, beta, third party binary driver with known bugs which are hacked around (so there are probably more that aren't dealt with). The features it offers aren't used by most users. If you're using it and experience problems, there's little that XFree86 folks can do to help you, because we can't know if it's the MGA HAL that's causing the problem. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Feb 9 14:10: 5 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2179A37B401; Sun, 9 Feb 2003 14:10:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from midway.uchicago.edu (midway.uchicago.edu [128.135.12.12]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 03E8943FB1; Sun, 9 Feb 2003 14:10:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dsyphers@uchicago.edu) Received: from adsl-68-20-39-137.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net (adsl-68-20-39-137.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net [68.20.39.137]) by midway.uchicago.edu (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id h19MA1GL024605; Sun, 9 Feb 2003 16:10:01 -0600 (CST) From: David Syphers To: kde@freebsd.org Subject: ogle full screen problem, KDE related?

If someone else can confirm it, then I guess should report it as a bug to either KDE or ogle...) I have one of those weird problems that is inconsistently reproducible. When I try to switch ogle to fullscreen mode with ctrl-f or f, it occasionally works, but (more often that not) it will increase the window to fullscreen size, but with only half the picture on the desktop (as if it were centered somewhere other than the center of my desktop). I only started seeing this after upgrading to FreeBSD 5.0-R, and installing KDE 3.1. Switching to full screen mode worked fine on 4-stable with KDE 3.0.5. Ogle itself hasn't changed, and the KDE change seems to be the problem (see error messages below). I just ran a 'portupgrade -R -f ogle-0.8.5', but the problem is still there. The messages ogle gives when it centers the fullscreen wrong are: Debug[ogle_vout]: wm_name: KWin Debug[ogle_vout]: window is not at screen start trying to fix that Debug[ogle_vout]: f**king non-compliant wm, we can't trust it on x-coords Debug[ogle_vout]: wm_x: 0, xtranslate_x: -553 Debug[ogle_vout]: f**king non-compliant wm, we can't trust it on y-coords Debug[ogle_vout]: wm_y: 0, xtranslate_y: -414 Debug[ogle_vout]: f**king non-compliant wm, we can't trust it on x-coords Debug[ogle_vout]: wm_x: 0, xtranslate_x: -553 Debug[ogle_vout]: f**king non-compliant wm, we can't trust it on y-coords Debug[ogle_vout]: wm_y: 0, xtranslate_y: -414 Debug[ogle_vout]: Couldn't place window at 0,0 Debug[ogle_vout]: resize: 1280, 979 -David -- "Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else.

When ffmpeg begins to record, all seems perfectly okay, but a few minutes after of beginning (approximately 19/20 minutes, this seems a constant) the ffmpeg program begins to report lost frames and the rate of loss frames begin to grow until it fills all the screen. While I did the tests the machine was not running other programs, so it was quiet and the average cpu consumption was 20-30%. Playing the resulting file showed me green frames where the ffmpeg program reported lose frames, so the recorded session ends as a green screen. If I run this test without audio encoding the recorded session is perfect and using ffmpeg 0.4.6 with v4l and audio encoding also works fine. So all these symptoms makes me think that there are still some issues with the audio code. I'd like to know if this is a particular or a general problem. > ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200 -s 320x240 -y -hq -deinterlace test1.avi Input #0, video_grab_device, from '/dev/bktr0': Stream #0.0: Video: rawvideo, yuv420p, 320x240, 25.00 fps, 800 kb/s Input #1, audio_device, from '/dev/dsp': Stream #1.0: Audio: pcm_s16le, 44100 Hz, mono, 705 kb/s Output #0, avi, to 'test1.avi': Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4 (hq), 320x240, 25.00 fps, q=2-31, 1200 kb/s Stream #0.1: Audio: mp2, 44100 Hz, mono, 64 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0.0 -> #0.0 Stream #1.0 -> #0.1 Press [q] to stop encoding frame=22389 q=2.0 size= 138620kB time=895.6 bitrate=1268.0kbits/s Blank 2 signals - 209670 microseconds Blank 2 signals - 176965 microseconds frame=26452 q=5.0 size= 163948kB time=1058.1 bitrate=1269.3kbits/s Blank 1 signals - 178013 microseconds frame=27599 q=4.0 size= 171010kB time=1103.9 bitrate=1269.0kbits/s Blank 1 signals - 160239 microseconds frame=27803 q=2.0 size= 172173kB time=1112.1 bitrate=1268.3kbits/s Blank 1 signals - 160144 microseconds frame=27854 q=5.0 size= 172466kB time=1114.1 bitrate=1268.1kbits/s Blank 0 signals - 161156 microseconds frame=28019 q=5.0 size= 173683kB time=1120.8 bitrate=1269.5kbits/s Blank 1 signals - 161202 microseconds frame=28058 q=3.0 size= 173879kB time=1122.3 bitrate=1269.2kbits/s Blank 1 signals - 161043 microseconds frame=28070 q=5.0 size= 173948kB time=1122.8 bitrate=1269.1kbits/s dmesg: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=22081+33356+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-multimedia/20030209.freebsd-multimedia Steve O'Hara-Smith wrote: > To use it replace /usr/ports/multimedia/files/grab_bsdbktr.c with > the one from the ftp site and rebuild ffmpeg (do a make clean first if > you have a work directory in there).

I tried using bsdbktr_tvtune, using NTSC frequencies, right before running ffmpeg, but I don't get any signal. I think there's some tuner-related setting on my bktr card (Hauppage, I think) that is extremely finicky. I've tried all sorts of things to set the channel prior to recording. Seth Kingsley wrote a little program that uses the TVTUNER_SETCHNL ioctl. If I use it while fxtv is running, the channel changes properly, and fxtv even notices and updates its display to reflect the new channel. However, if I run it before or during ffmpeg, I get static. The first time I do this, there may be a bit of signal, as though the tuning was close but not great. If I run it a few more times, after the 2nd or third time there is nothing but static. Very strange. The only solution I've been able to make work is a hacked version of fxtv, which exits as soon as it initializes the card. It's a really ugly solution though, it requires an X server to run. I've done a trace on fxtv, and it uses a huge number of meteor and bt848 ioctls repeatedly, so it's hard to tell what's actually relevant. -nick > NE> It would be nice if ffmpeg had some interface to allow drivers to > NE> accept options from the command line. >=20 > Yes it would! >=20 > --=20 > C:>WIN | Directable Mirrors > The computer obeys and wins. |A Better Way To Focus The Sun > You lose and Bill collects. | licenses available - see: > | http://www.sohara.org/ --=20 Nicholas Esborn Unix Systems Administrator Berkeley, California To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Feb 11 21:25:33 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6AC4337B401; Tue, 11 Feb 2003 21:25:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from mother.ludd.luth.se (mother.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.3]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3218143F3F; Tue, 11 Feb 2003 21:25:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from pb@ludd.luth.se) Received: from brother.ludd.luth.se (brother.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.78]) by mother.ludd.luth.se (8.11.6+Sun/8.9.3) with ESMTP id h1C5O6000159; Wed, 12 Feb 2003 06:24:07 +0100 (MET) From: Peter B Received: (from pb@localhost) by brother.ludd.luth.se (8.11.6+Sun/8.9.3) id h1C5O6124730; Wed, 12 Feb 2003 06:24:06 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <200302120524.h1C5O6124730@brother.ludd.luth.se> Subject: Bt878 builtin audio adc + 2xBug To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.org Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 06:24:06 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL54 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I was investigating a sound problem with my Bt878 card and then I found the following in the mplayer documentation: http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/documentation.html#tv "# There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either using your soundcard via an external cable connection between video card and line-in, or using the built-in ADC in the bt878 chip. In the latter case, you have to load the btaudio driver. Read the linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio file (in the kernel tree, not MPlayer's) for some instructions on using this driver." Indeed on a linux 2.4.18 installation there is a driver: /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/btaudio.c And documentation: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio Which says it supports two modes: digital via I2S and normal adc. And it will only record audio. The dmesg just became much clearer: bktr0: mem 0xcf000000-0xcf000fff irq 9 at device 12.0 on pci0 (Video grabber device) pci0: (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 12.1 irq 9 (Audio adc) Using this pci device will most likely reduce noise on tvrecordings with less wires to go through. And it will free the recording input on the soundcard. So there are benefits.. Is there anyone looking into writing a driver for freebsd ..? ................................................................... There is also two bugs with the bt878 I have discovered: *) At different occasions whitenoise is added to the recordings of tv. I'm using the Asus A7V333 motherboard builtin soundcard CMI8738. I have used fxtv, mplayer, xawtv, ffmpeg. (Maybe using the onboard adc will solve this?) *) After booting, unless fxtv or other bt878 program is runt immediate the computer will freeze on it's usage later on. Any fix, or tip?

Problem is that when there is a problem with the tuner, it won't tell. Maybe there should be a fflush(stdout); instead. My initial experience was that it could not open the tuner0 in RW mode and then it just silently continued without turning on audio from the tunercard. /P To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Feb 11 22:31:11 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9C51137B401 for ; Tue, 11 Feb 2003 22:31:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp4.wanadoo.nl (smtp4.wanadoo.nl [194.134.35.175]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0AB7743F3F for ; Tue, 11 Feb 2003 22:31:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from steve@sohara.org) Received: from ams-gw.sohara.org (p3351.vwr.wanadoo.nl [212.129.225.31]) by smtp4.wanadoo.nl (Postfix) with SMTP id DEA0C3E48D; Wed, 12 Feb 2003 07:31:08 +0100 (CET) Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 07:31:03 +0100 From: Steve O'Hara-Smith To: Peter B Cc: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Bt878 builtin audio adc + 2xBug Message-Id: <20030212073103.08d14b06.steve@sohara.org> In-Reply-To: <200302120524.h1C5O6124730@brother.ludd.luth.se> References: <200302120524.h1C5O6124730@brother.ludd.luth.se> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.8.10 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd4.7) X-Face: %]+HVL}K`P8>+8ZcY-WGHP6j@&mxMo9JH6_WdgIgUGH)JX/usO0%jy7T~IVgqjumD^OBqX,Kv^- GM6mlw(fI^$"QRKyZ$?xx/ Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, 12 Feb 2003 06:24:06 +0100 (MET) Peter B wrote: PB> Indeed on a linux 2.4.18 installation there is a driver: PB> /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/btaudio.c PB> And documentation: PB> /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio PB> Which says it supports two modes: digital via I2S and normal adc.

It smells kernel allocation long way. But I read the kernel config and it seems to allocate the appropiete number of pages. Maybe one should increase it more than it says.

Is Cameron Grant still around and actively maintaining it? I noticed some old posts from around 2000/2001 mentioning that treble/bass capabilities wouldn't be added for a while because they required using the dsp as most SBLive's don't have dedicated treble/bass circuitry (and the way it's implemented under Windows is via filters). I also found a PR about rear speaker support saying that this wouldn't be done in the near future either (one of the reasons being that the OSS/Voxware interface didn't (still doesn't ?) provide for a way to adjust rear speaker volume). Someone posted this link to -questions: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=a0ahlh%24itf%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw it's a patch for treble/bass/rear speaker support. Has anyone tried it? Is it a part of 5.0 or 4.7-RELEASE (which I'm running)? I currently have no rear speaker sound using an SBLive with Cambridge speakers and would really like some. :-) cheers sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Feb 13 6:35:37 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EA6BB37B401 for ; Thu, 13 Feb 2003 06:35:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from mx1.lphp.org (APastourelles-107-1-4-163.abo.wanadoo.fr [193.253.178.163]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B3E1743F75 for ; Thu, 13 Feb 2003 06:35:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ajacoutot@lphp.org) Received: from sta01 (sta01.lphp.org.local [192.168.0.4]) by mx1.lphp.org (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id h1DEZYQ2058421; Thu, 13 Feb 2003 15:35:34 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from ajacoutot@lphp.org) From: Antoine Jacoutot To: Sam Izzo , freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: emu10k1 driver Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 15:35:34 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.5 References: <20030213142824.GA17376@kalgan.vic.optushome.com.au> In-Reply-To: <20030213142824.GA17376@kalgan.vic.optushome.com.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200302131535.34941.ajacoutot@lphp.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Thursday 13 February 2003 15:28, Sam Izzo wrote: > it's a patch for treble/bass/rear speaker support.

I'm really looking forward a good support for SBlive! in FreeBSD.

Help! Fireel So i decided to write directly and request your assistence: I attached dmesg and scanpci information along in text files.

In FreeBSD it shows up as the CD-ROM device. For ATAPI devices (what you probably have) this will be /dev/acdNc, where N is the device number (usually 0). For SCSI devices it is /dev/cdNc (IIRC). I don't know if the DVD support in VLC works though. I never managed to get it working (although that was a few months ago). I usually use Ogle, Xine or Mplayer. Ogle is the easiest to set up, but doesn't offer any sort of inverse telecine. Mplayer has a baffling interface (try mplayer -dvd or mplayer -dvd N, where N is a number from 0 to ~3, -dvdnav doesn't work because you can't actually navigate from what I can tell). Xine has always been crashy for me, but works great for some people. You have to click on the d4d or dvd button in Xine's interface. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Feb 13 14:58: 4 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DF32137B401 for ; Thu, 13 Feb 2003 14:58:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp3.libero.it (smtp3.libero.it [193.70.192.127]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 489DA43F93 for ; Thu, 13 Feb 2003 14:58:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nivit@libero.it) Received: from coryphantha (151.29.218.76) by smtp3.libero.it (6.7.015) id 3E44E967002C5BDC for freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG; Thu, 13 Feb 2003 23:58:00 +0100 Received: (qmail 282 invoked by uid 1002); 13 Feb 2003 23:05:10 -0000 From: nivit@libero.it (Nicola Vitale) Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 00:05:10 +0100 To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 'ufm' device - trouble with GemTek USB FM Radio Message-ID: <20030213230510.GA216@Coryphantha> References: <200302130039.h1D0dpn95636@goliath.rri-usa.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <200302130039.h1D0dpn95636@goliath.rri-usa.org> X-Operating-System: FreeBSD/i386 (http://www.freebsd.org) User-Agent: Mutt (http://www.mutt.org) Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > [wgnadt, 12 Febbraio 2003 ore 19:39] > [...] > device ufm > [...] > ufm0: GemTek Corp USB FM Radio, rev 1.00/4.10, addr 2 > > [...] I found and compiled three different utilities > to control the radio.

Any thoughts? In my opinion the cause is this instruction in ufm_start() function (see /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ufm.c) if (ret & 0x1) return (EIO); Stangely and only for FM_START ioctl, the driver checks if the radio is in stereo mode so sometimes it returns EIO, but the radio plays all the same (at least mine :).

I didn't notice that it only happened on certain channels, but I didn't try that experiment. I ended up using an SB Live instead. I read somewhere, some time ago, that there was a problem where the CMI driver under FreeBSD wouldn't always initialize at the right clock rate. The result was that sometimes you would get more/fewer samples than you'd expect per unit of time, effectively changing the sampling rate. I'll try to find this again, I think it was on freebsd-multimedia. I think that this would cause noise in ffmpeg, since as I recall, it will truncate the audio data each frame if there's too much of it. This is done in order to maintain A/V sync. I would be interested to know if channels 5, 6, and 10 *always* exhibit the noise across multiple seperate recordings, or if it's intermittent. -nick On Fri, Feb 14, 2003 at 01:41:08PM +0100, Peter B wrote: > > I use FreeBSD-4.7 on a motherboard Asus A7V333 with cpu AMD XP1800, > Brooktree 878 card.

Okay, yours is the second report of this problem I've seen. I've just taken a look at the ALSA driver and can see they are doing several things different from us at this point in time. I only have the specs for the 8233C (under NDA) and it has no comment on the variations in registers. Everything the ALSA people are doing is within the spec, but they have some non-obvious stuff that makes me think they have more data sources.

The maximum observed delta is 3%. There is no problem setting other rates. It would depend on how an application dealt with the excess on whether you'd hear it or not (for instance some applications drop repeated pitch cycles in the audio stream and this is inaudible when it works). However it is done, it would almost certainly not manifest itself as white noise. The problem Peter is describing may or may not be due to some analog phenomenon and might be curable by setting all unimportant audio controls to 0 in the mixer. As described the problem not resemble an audio s/w or h/w problem, ie noise on all recordings or on noise on some and not other recordings would point to audio problem. Since the problem as described repeatable on certain channels, it looks more likely that the problem is analog or lies with the tuner, tuner driver, or tuner s/w. - Orion To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Feb 14 11:43:30 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 919FA37B401 for ; Fri, 14 Feb 2003 11:43:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from mother.ludd.luth.se (mother.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.3]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1794843FAF for ; Fri, 14 Feb 2003 11:43:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from pb@ludd.luth.se) Received: from brother.ludd.luth.se (brother.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.78]) by mother.ludd.luth.se (8.11.6+Sun/8.9.3) with ESMTP id h1EJhP015891 for ; Fri, 14 Feb 2003 20:43:25 +0100 (MET) From: Peter B Received: (from pb@localhost) by brother.ludd.luth.se (8.11.6+Sun/8.9.3) id h1EJhPn05756 for freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG; Fri, 14 Feb 2003 20:43:25 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <200302141943.h1EJhPn05756@brother.ludd.luth.se> Subject: Re: Bt878 & whitenoise (some observations..)

It's won't help to alter the mixer settings at all. The effect of switching channels using fxtv + xawtv-3.76/record can be listened to here: http://wave.campus.luth.se/~pb/tmp/chanscan.wav (14 MB) >As described the problem not resemble an audio s/w or h/w problem, ie noise on all recordings or on noise on some and not other recordings would point to audio problem. Since the problem as described repeatable on certain channels, it looks more likely that the problem is analog or lies with the tuner, tuner driver, or tuner s/w. I must first point out that the stereo which is connected to the lineout of the soundcards mixer. At no time suffers from the whitenoise problem. Thus the problem should be entirely with the a7v333 (cmi8738) soundcard. It might be that the tuner driver writes settings wich affect the settings of the cmi8738 (iow bug). Althought I have hard to believe that. The freeze bug mentioned earlier might however point in this direction. Anyway the test now confirms that like the previous poster asked. The fenomen is not intermittent. It's always there. However I have memories of the problem going away at times, with no reasonable explanation. One solution could be to write the driver for the onboard dsp. And hope it's not affected this way. /P To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat Feb 15 4:27:12 2003 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B1C2237B401 for ; Sat, 15 Feb 2003 04:27:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from david.siemens.de (david.siemens.de [192.35.17.14]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2779D43F75 for ; Sat, 15 Feb 2003 04:27:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from andre.albsmeier@siemens.com) Received: from mail3.siemens.de (mail3.siemens.de [139.25.208.14]) by david.siemens.de (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h1FCR8404350 for ; Sat, 15 Feb 2003 13:27:08 +0100 (MET) Received: from mars.cert.siemens.de (ust.mchp.siemens.de [139.23.201.17]) by mail3.siemens.de (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h1FCR7T10551 for ; Sat, 15 Feb 2003 13:27:07 +0100 (MET) Received: from curry.mchp.siemens.de (curry.mchp.siemens.de [139.25.42.7]) by mars.cert.siemens.de (8.12.7/8.12.7/$SiemensCERT: mail/cert.mc,v 1.41 2003/01/31 16:25:20 ust Exp $) with ESMTP id h1FCR7BO092191 for ; Sat, 15 Feb 2003 13:27:07 +0100 (CET) Received: (from localhost) by curry.mchp.siemens.de (8.12.6/8.12.6) id h1FCR7YD014779 for freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG; Sat, 15 Feb 2003 13:27:07 +0100 (CET) Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2003 13:27:07 +0100 From: Andre Albsmeier To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Linux got TV-Out for the Matrox G450/550, any chance for FreeBSD ?

Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The following is based on my own experiences and a lot of searching on the web... I have a Matrox G400-DH and use the second head to display the output of mplayer on a TV. BTW, this works great by using the following command: mplayer -display :0.1 -vo x11 -fs -zoom -double I have to use the Matrox HAL binary since this is the only way to use TV-Out. The newer cards G450/550 also have TV-Out support but only for M$ windows. Several month ago I (and lots of other people) asked about TV-Out support for these newer cards on the official Matrox Linux forum (http://forum.matrox.com/cgi-bin/mgaforum/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=2&SUBMIT=Go) but never received any reply. In fact, while there is a really good support regarding other subjects, the ignorance w.r.t. TV-Out even drove some people away from Matrox (that's what they said, at least) and made me stick with my G400-DH :-(. Today, when I looked for some hints how to enable overscan on the G400-DH using TV-Out, I found some websites which claim to have support for TV-Out for the G450/550 cards under Linux: http://www3.sympatico.ca/dan.eriksen/matrox_tvout/ http://www3.sympatico.ca/dan.eriksen/matrox_tvout/g450_tvout_howto.html http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/linux/matrox-latest/ http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/ They seems to use the Direct Frame Buffer thingie under Linux; afaik nothing like this exists in FreeBSD. Since I don't know enough about these things -- maybe someone wants to have a look at the URLs... It would be interesting to know if there is chance to get this stuff ported to FreeBSD.
