Well, if you don't know the chip well and don't have specs, it will be a hard time to get that stuff working I'm afraid. You should look at the initial dual head work for r128 cards that Alex Deucher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> did for X.org, since you need at least that (dual head) as a first step to enabling TV Out. Then, I suggest you look at the open-beos project (I think it's on SourceForge) for the radeon code that drives the TV encoder. You chip is a Mobility M3, that is an r128, and I think the TV cell in it is similar to the one in Radeons. > > > >>when i plug in the av out cable macosx detects it and new video modes > >>become available for usage. 800x600, 640x480, PAL and NTSC. > >> > >>is there a tool that can dump them in macosx. or is my best bet to change > >>to tv out, then warm reboot hoping that tv out will remain till i can get > >>to a console in linux and dump the registers. > >> > >>i know ben has done some work with other cards. > >> > >>from the above mentioned information, some how the card tells the > >>operating system that tv out is now available. > >> > >>the card is an ati mobility, for anyone not familar with this now ancient > >>ibook model. > > > > There are several models of mobility.
