OK ... I think I've made a little more progress, but I think I am still
missing something....
I switched to the Open Source ATI Drivers. But there are issues with this :/
1) I can't play Doom3, so if I want to, I have to switch drivers are
restart X .... but that's not the bigger issue.
tvtime loads now. I figured out what modules to load to create the
/dev/video0 device
tuner 64360 0
cx8800 40124 0
cx88xx 72036 1 cx8800
ir_common 39620 1 cx88xx
tveeprom 20240 1 cx88xx
compat_ioctl32 11072 1 cx8800
btcx_risc 7432 2 cx8800,cx88xx
vivi 21716 1
video_buf 28932 3 cx8800,cx88xx,vivi
videodev 30592 4 cx8800,cx88xx,vivi
v4l1_compat 14340 1 videodev
v4l2_common 22336 6
tuner,cx8800,cx88xx,compat_ioctl32,vivi,videodev
modprobe vivi creates the device
modprobe cx8800 (the bttv replacement from what I can tell)
then modprove tuner
ow the problem is tvtime (and xawtv) gets stuck on screen, can't kill
the process, even after restarting X, the process is still in memory :/
So I am still missing something ....
On the upside, I have YU12/YUY2 Overlays
>From xine-check
[ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2
[ good ] your Xv extension supports YV12 overlays (improves MPEG
performance)
[ good ] your Xv extension supports YUY2 overlays
[ good ] Xv ports: RGBA RGBT RGB2 YUY2 UYVY YV12 I420
so ... it's progress ... but I don't think a step forward :/ maybe a
step sideways .....
Anywho .. I am going to reboot one last time to get rid of these stuck
apps and reload the fglrx driver so I can play doom3.
Any more idea's would be greatly appreciated.
