(Moving to XFree86 general since I'm not brave enough to call myself an
XFree86 developer.)
I was just looking at this because the STB I'm working on uses this
driver for video (re: TV) display. I'm trying to determine if there is
anyway to generate a V4L driver from this in order to allow something
like MythTV to do video capture. As far as I can tell, the updated
trident just allows video display via Xv. XawTV can use this but only
displays one channel (a modified version could use external tools to
change the channels). But you can't record video. EPoX (the STB maker)
says you can't do PVR work with this setup. With the 7114 hard wired to
the video adapter I'm beginning to think that may be true. Do you know
if its possible to do video capture with this, either through the
trident server or by creating a V4L driver for the 7114?
FWIW, the hardware I have has all integrated components on the
motherboard:
VIA C3(aka Samuel 2), 733/800MHz - CPU
Trident CyberBlade/i1 - Video controller
VIA VT1621 TV encoder (aka TV Out)
SAA7114 - Video capture (aka TV In)
RealMagic 8470 - MPEG 2/4 decoder (Sigma Designs)
VIA Tech VT8601 - PCI Bridge (AGP, NorthBridge)
VIA VT82C686 - ACPI (SouthBridge)
VIA VT82C686 AC97 - Audio controller
Realtek RTL-8139/8139C (1 & 2) - Ethernet controllers
