I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop (or I8K) with a NVidia Geforce2 Go (or NV11) with an embedded CH7007A chip, and am seeing the following after getting ch7006 kernel driver/module loaded:
# dmesg |grep ch7006 -i --- Snip --- [ 21.191147] nouveau [ I2C][0000:01:00.0] detected TV encoder: ch7006 [ 21.404731] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_probe: [ 21.411672] ch7006 1-0075: Detected version ID: 50 [ 21.421536] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_init: [ 21.443870] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_save: [ 21.998969] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_restore: [ 22.778013] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_dpms: [ 23.217163] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_detect: [ 23.283738] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_dpms: [ 23.283862] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_dpms: [ 23.536950] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_dpms: [ 24.515223] ch7006 1-0075: ch7006_encoder_detect: --- Snip --- However, nouveau still only sees LVDS-1. I assume this is likely not the ch7006 omitting the required code for enabling TV-OUT? For kicks, I've also tried a ton of options via kernel boot commands: video=LVDS-1:1024x768@60 video=VGA-1:800x600@60 video=TV-1:e video=TV:e gfxpayload=1024x768x16 selinux=0 nouveau.tv_disable=0 nouveau.tv_norm=NTSC-M nouveau.debug=1 ch7006.debug=1 ch7006.tv_norm=NTSC-M ch7006.scale=2 i2c-algo-bit.bit_test=1 rd.modules-load=i2c-dev rd.modules-load=i2c-i801 rd.modules-load=i2c-smbus Searching & reading the code of ch7006.h/.c, I find ch7006 driver should be setting the S-Video out port to full power usage when any chip ID version is >= 0x20. Since this is 0x50 (?), and the chip specifications are extremely similar (if not identical after comparing the init section), this chip should be activated. (I also ensured i2c-dev was loaded per some other rumors on the net, but doubt it's needed?) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
