km compile for ATI AIW Radeon 7500

2008-02-10T13:41:15Z

I have an ATI AIW Radeon 7500 and I am trying to compile km. I have tried two versions, one from the GATOS.sf download and the other from CVS. When compiling km from gatos.sf I get an error that config.h can not be found. When I compile km from CVS, after applying two symbolic links the same error will occur. The text below are from the CVS km.

After downloading km from CVS, I enter make test

Assigning symbolic links( I found this on a Red Hat forum)

Entering make test again.

Any help would be appreciated.

AIW128-PRO from xorg-6.9.0 configuration ?

2006-08-08T19:28:03Z

Hello
I try to install ATI-6.7.0-exp1.386.tar.gz into a
machine, but it seem not run correctly.

Hardware to this PC is :
AMD-Barton2500, MSI motherboard with nforce2 chipset,
Ram = 2 X 256 Mo, Hdd 80Go Western-Digital
Video controller is : ATI AIW 128 pro 32 Mo (AGP 4X)
On card i can read Bios on chips => R128P 65605 and i
see chip : Rage theater and MSP 3415D (for audio)

In other Operating System i can look :

Asic Rage 128 pro
id asic 5046
vertion bios 001.001.002.002
reference bios 113-65605-101
date bios 2000/02/03

And in multimedia section, i see :

audio ITT MSP3415 europe
TypeSyntoniseur Philips FI 1216MF
Standard video PAL-B/G SECAM

But i want run on Linux !
I run on Linux Slackware 10.2, kernel is
linux-2.6.13, also linux-2.6.17-7 and XORG-6.9.0
When i look at GATOS, i look it talk about xfree 4.1
or 4.2 or 4.3 but no much about xorg
But i try the drivers ATI-6.7.0-exp1.386.tar.gz.

When i look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log i can't see any
information about multimedia hardware in the board
AIW128.

I replace the drivers ATI-6.7.0-exp1.386.tar.gz
at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules (drivers, mltimedia, dri )
and i restart xorg or reboot my computer.
But /var/log/Xorg.0.log has no change.

Can you give me some informations about configuration
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Must i install KM ?
And can i use xdtv or xawtv to record the TV ?

So i try to install genericv4l and i sent report from
eric seller but AIW-128 pro is not well supported.

Can i use this board to acquire TV with Linux ?

mailing list signup/admin needs attention

2006-07-15T13:23:11Z

When signing up for one of the mailing lists, people
will not necessarily use the same address that is on
their outgoing mail envelope. This results in any
messages they send to the list from their outgoing
address being sent to a queue for approval by the list
administrator.

I imagine the list admin can then (hopefully) tweak
things to set the allowed incoming address for that
user ID.

Which would be fine if it got done.

However it appears that that is not happenning, and
messages sent are lost in a spam folder somewhere or
just sent to the bitbucket.

no /dev/video0

2006-04-07T21:15:17Z

I downloaded and compiled latest km-sources. Everything
seems to be okay. lsmod shows there are km_api_drv,
km_drv and videodev loaded. The problem is that no
/dev/video0 device are created. What's wrong?
My operating system is Fedora Core Linux 5 and kernel
version is 2.6.16.

Potential configure bug

2006-02-01T17:50:32Z

I found this bug in another package, so I thought you
might want to fix it too.

Project Status (support 9800 pro AIW)

2006-01-04T14:44:24Z

I am a little bit lost. I got a 9800pro AIW with my
computer and I sometimes check if the tuner is already
supported.

I think the Rage Theatre 200 is now supported (Gatos
homepage) and passed in X. I believe the R300 (and the
R350 ?) was supported for 3D by an other project.

I believe I red about testing of the 9800 tuner, but
according to the Gatos home page the "All-in-Wonder
Radeon 9700" is not yet supported. And the CVS does not
seem to contain recent files.

Is the development now done elsewhere?

Thanks for some indication.

Installation for dummies?

2005-10-26T21:47:57Z

short version: Is it REALLY possible to get AIW radeon
to work as a telly tuner with Gatos drivers? How this is
done, step-by-step? Anybody?

long version:

How much less clear the instructions could be? Not
much, I guess. Thank you anyway for the work you have
done with Gatos, but the truth is that is nearly impossible
to install the drivers properly according to your
instructions. That is no problem, but what is a problem
that even google didn't found me any idiot's guide to
Gatos.

Full of hope, I installed Mandrake 9.2 with xfree86 4.3. in
order to get the system working with Gatos and AIW
Radeon (to be able to watch telly).

I extracted the ATIblah.gz tarball into /usr/XFree86/,
rebooted.
OK, how to configure the system to use these drivers
then? Or is it using them right now? I don't have a clue...

Then I installed AVview. Nice program. Just cannot find
any channels, regardles of the selected type of
connector, or anything.

Harddrake does not help either. Then, let's try scantv.
Surprisingly only errors. No xawtv then...

What is v4l2 ? Yes, it's something important, but how to
configure that to work with ati card and gatos. It should
be somehow connected to /dev/video0. No idea.
"Use insmod to load the module." What who where when
why?

Sorry about this outburst, but I just experienced a level of
frustration...

Compiled GATOS drivers for XFree86 4.5 and simplify!

2005-09-11T20:33:20Z

Please provide compiled drivers for XFree864.5 or at least
4.4! No recent distrib uses 4.3.
Also, if possible simplify instructions for the compiled
binaries - I doubt there is anyone out there who has
managed to ever get it compiled or run from the binary
distribution!

radeon 9800 All in wonder. Tv-in doesn't work

2005-08-12T13:56:36Z

I've tried everything, nothing works :(

when installing the km-modules a
# make test
works perfectly and gives the output:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Kmultimedia API module version alpha-6.0 loaded
Kmultimedia module version alpha-6.0 loaded
Page size is 4096 sizeof(bm_list_descriptor)=16 sizeof(KM_STRUCT)
=732

but I do not get a vide0 device?I tried to create it manually with
mknod , but still can't use it.

maybe I have the wrong x drivers loaded ?
what drivers should I use ?!
