Wonderful news. I downloaded the 2nd ivtvdev_drv.o, you sent, and it made a log file... remember to refresh it after it has loaded in your browser:
http://www.schaefer.dhcp.biz/Xorg.1.log Those fixes worked that I saw you posted in the email titled "Xdriver problem with multiple frame buffers". I copied the X logs to these locations, of course I settled on the xorg.conf change rather than the environment variable. http://www.schaefer.dhcp.biz/Xorg.1.logSET http://www.schaefer.dhcp.biz/Xorg.1.logCONF Once that is corrected in the ivtvdev_drv driver, do you suppose that configuration will change again back to the old method or will it permanently require this configuration Option "ivtv" "/dev/fb?" I realize there is no way to fortell the future, just asking for an educated guess. Thanks so much, already. Now I've got to figure out how to get just the mythfrontend instead of the KDE desktop on that X server, and without tieing up the virtual console so I can start the main X server on the Matrox's framebuffer... and to start the IvyTV X server without needing a mouse/keyboard.. I remember you mentioned something about compiling a seperate X server without keyboard/mouse functionality... if I don't get anywhere in the next week with it, I'll probably send you another email with what I have managed so far. Ooohhh, just remembered CTRL-ALT-F* will change to the virtual console while an X server has a console tied up, and I saw a config option for the xorg.conf I think that you could specify a specific virtual console for it to use up... I'll start there. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2004 4:52 pm Subject: RE: RE: RE: [ivtv-devel] Does ivtv-0.2.0-rc3 already contain the ivtv-fb-fix-prepdma patch? > Ok I just found the problem. > Replace fbdev with ivtv for the option. > > For the next version we should change this option back to fbdev. > > John > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: 08 December 2004 04:58 > > To: John Harvey > > Subject: Re: RE: RE: [ivtv-devel] Does ivtv-0.2.0-rc3 already > contain the > > ivtv-fb-fix-prepdma patch? > > > > Sorry if this keeps getting sent, my mail program seems to be > acting up, > > can't tell if it is sending or not. > > > > I didn't see anything new in the X log, I gunzip'ped that file > and copied > > it into the /usr/X11R6/... path and made sure it had the same > > ownership/permissions as the one that was there before. > > > > I replaced the old log with the new one, even if you bring this > link up, > > make sure you refresh to ensure you have the newest one: > > > > http://www.schaefer.dhcp.biz/Xorg.1.log > > > > gcc testfb.c > > ./a.out > > Open device /dev/fb0 > > Opened ok > > Get SCreeninfo ok name MATROX > > Open device /dev/fb1 > > Opened ok > > Get SCreeninfo ok name MATROX DH > > Open device /dev/fb2 > > Opened ok > > Get SCreeninfo ok name iTVC15 TV out > > Open device /dev/fb3 > > Open failed > > > > > > ls -l /dev/fb* > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 0 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb0 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 1 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb1 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 2 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb2 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 3 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb3 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 4 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb4 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 5 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb5 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 6 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb6 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 7 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb7 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 8 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb8 > > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 29, 9 2002-04-16 00:49 /dev/fb9 > > > > ps -ef (the last few lines) > > root 18727 214 0 23:20 tty1 00:00:00 /bin/sh ./startX > > root 18728 18727 0 23:20 tty1 00:00:00 xinit > /root/startXrc -- > > /usr/X11 > > root 18729 18728 95 23:20 ? 00:00:25 > /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg :1 - > > layout H... > > root 18735 18703 0 23:20 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef > > > > > > Other useful info, > > > > fbset -fb /dev/fb0 > > mode "640x480-60" > > # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.942 Hz > > geometry 640 480 640 26208 8 > > timings 39721 40 24 32 11 96 2 > > accel true > > rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0 > > endmode > > > > fbset -fb /dev/fb1 > > mode "640x480-60" > > # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.942 Hz > > geometry 640 480 640 480 32 > > timings 39721 48 16 33 10 96 2 > > rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24 > > endmode > > > > fbset -fb /dev/fb2 > > mode "720x480-74" > > # D: 34.563 MHz, H: 37.244 kHz, V: 73.897 Hz > > geometry 720 480 720 480 32 > > timings 28933 88 32 16 4 88 4 > > rgba 8/0,8/8,8/16,8/24 > > endmode > > > > > > lsmod > > > > Module Size Used by Not tainted > > btaudio 10844 0 (unused) > > bttv 96096 0 (unused) > > ivtv-fb 24016 0 > > saa7127 8100 0 (autoclean) (unused) > > tveeprom 7552 0 (autoclean) (unused) > > ivtv 789408 0 [ivtv-fb] > > saa7115 7712 0 (unused) > > msp3400 20096 1 > > tuner 11336 2 > > i2c-algo-bit 7688 2 [bttv ivtv] > > i2c-core 13668 0 [bttv saa7127 tveeprom saa7115 > msp3400> tuner i2c-algo-bit] > > videodev 6688 12 [bttv ivtv] > > i810_audio 23036 0 (unused) > > ac97_codec 13748 0 [i810_audio] > > e100 48936 1 > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: John Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: Tuesday, December 7, 2004 4:27 pm > > Subject: RE: RE: [ivtv-devel] Does ivtv-0.2.0-rc3 already > contain the > > ivtv-fb-fix-prepdma patch? > > > > > I'm mailing you directly until we work this out then we can > send a > > > summaryback to the list. > > > So yes something is definitely wrong.
