Guys,
For those of you who might be interested in a
little bit of feedback,
I've performed several tests on FreeBSD 6.1 and
Xorg installed via
ports (version 6.9) with the objective to get TV
tuner working. I've
used Xawtv (latest from ports) and the following
cards (info obtained
from pciconf utility)
:
1) drm0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000
card=0x4f721002 chip=0x4c661002 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'Mobility Radeon 9000'
class = display
subclass =
VGA
(64MB AGP card, Theater 200)
2) drm1@pci0:7:0: class=0x030000
card=0x00291002 chip=0x50441002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'Rage 128 PD/Pro PCI (TMDS)'
class = display
subclass =
VGA
(32MB PCI card, Rage Theater)
3) drm0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000
card=0x2f721002 chip=0x59611002 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'Radeon 9200 Series (RV280)'
class = display
subclass =
VGA
none0@pci1:0:1: class=0x038000
card=0x2f731002 chip=0x59411002 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'RV280 ATI Radeon 9200 - Secondary'
class = display
(128MB AGP card, Theater 200)
4) drm0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000
card=0x02aa1002 chip=0x51441002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
device = 'Radeon 7200 QD SDR/DDR Radeon 7200 QD
SDR/DDR'
class =
display
subclass = VGA
(32MB AGP card, Rage Theater)
The results were the following...
Card #1 would give me the picture on the video-in,
but when tuner is used, frequency table
is
messed up (maybe Xawtv problem, but it's not like
that for other cards (!!!)), thus
channels
aren't clear and require deep finetuning... NO
SOUND on both internal CD conector
and
external audio output.
Card #2 Is the only Rage card I have, and is the
most unstable one. Theater doesn't get
detected, and without NoAccel option set to
True locks up the machine.
Card #3 I have only managed to run Xawtv a few
times with that card, it would give me
NO SOUND on both connectors, but in most cases
machine would lock up. I've tried
different values for AGPFastWrite, without much of
a difference.
Card #4 More or less stable card, NO SOUND on both
connectors. Btw, I've got 2
of them, and both work the same way.
In case anyone gets interested, I can perform
some more suggested tests.
Best regards,
Alex Vinogradovs
