Re: [GATOS]TV-out on 4.4.0/x.org? - better patch

Lourens, I downloaded the ati.4.4.0 from CVS and I applied your patch. When I run make I got the following error In file included from radeon_dripriv.h:42, from radeon.h:61, from radeon_accel.c:74: radeon_common.h:455: warning: ISO C90 does not support `long long' In file included from radeon.h:559, from radeon_accel.c:74: theater_out.h:6: error: syntax error before '<' token theater_out.h:9: error: syntax error at '@' token theater_out.h:22: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `tail' theater_out.h:22: error: `now' undeclared here (not in a function) theater_out.h:22: error: ISO C forbids data definition with no type or storage class theater_out.h:23: error: syntax error before '.' token In file included from radeon.h:559, from radeon_accel.c:74: theater_out.h:23:71: macro "write" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given theater_out.h:24:20: macro "write" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given theater_out.h:25:46: macro "write" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given theater_out.h:75:13: too many decimal points in number theater_out.h:103:22: too many decimal points in number theater_out.h:111:96: too many decimal points in number theater_out.h:135:13: too many decimal points in number In file included from radeon_accel.c:74: radeon.h:569: error: syntax error before "TVStd" radeon.h:570: error: syntax error before "RADEONTheaterOutGetStandard" radeon.h:570: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `RADEONTheaterOutGetStandard' radeon.h:570: error: ISO C forbids data definition with no type or storage class radeon.h:572: error: syntax error before "TheaterOutAttr" radeon.h:573: error: syntax error before "TheaterOutAttr" radeon.h:574: error: syntax error before "TheaterOutAttr" I have a Radeon 7500 and I use Xorg 6.7.0. The ati.4.4.0 that I downloaded from cvs compiles fine. Any idea what could be wrong? Vasilis ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

I think you mean (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.8-rc1): <benh-XVmvHMARGAS8U2dJNN8I7kB+6BGkLq7r@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [PATCH] radeonfb: Fix panel detection on some laptops The code in radeonfb looking for the BIOS image currently uses the BIOS ROM if any, and falls back to the RAM image if not found. This is unfortunatly not correct for a bunch of laptops where the real panel data are only present in the RAM image. This works around this problem by preferring the RAM image on mobility chipsets. This is definitely not the best workaround, we need some arch support for linking the RAM image to the PCI ID (preferrably by having the arch snapshot it during boot, isolating us completely from the details of where this image is in memory). I'll see how we can get such an improvement later.

I've taken a look at the kernel code, but it seems to do some memory mapping stuff that I don't think can be done from userspace. Any ideas on how to get to the BIOS image in RAM from the gatos code?
