1 framebuffer driver for ATI Radeon chipset video boards
|
|
|
2 ======================================================
|
|
|
3
|
|
1919
|
4 These files are replacement for linux-2.4.x-ac.y drivers.
|
|
|
5 To use this driver you should have at least linux-2.4.5-ac.1
|
|
|
6 then simply replace linux/drivers/video/radeon* with files
|
|
|
7 from this directory.
|
|
1968
|
8 Note: since linux-2.4.10 this driver was moved from -ac to
|
|
|
9 Linus distribution.

|
11 Alternative way:
|
|
|
12 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
3244
|
13 Simply type two commands in this directory:
|
|
|
14 make
|
|
|
15 make install
|
|
1921
|
16
|
|
|
17 Anyway you should have 'Frame buffer support' compiled into linux-kernel
|
|
|
18 and at least '8bpp packed pixel support' compiled and installed as module.
|
|
|
19 (But if you plan to use this module with mplayer you also should have
|
|
|
20 16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp pixel support compiled as modules).

23 Radeon video overlay
|
|
|
24 ====================
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 Was designed for mplayer and currently can be used only by mplayer.
|
|
|
27 It's RGB-YUV BES for radeon cards (althrough there is experimental
|
|
|
28 support for rage128 / rage128pro chips).

|
30 Installation:
|
|
|
31 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
32
|
|
3244
|
33 Simply type two commands in this directory:
|
|
|
34 make
|
|
|
35 make install
|
|
3246
|
36 If you install it first time then type also:
|
|
|
37 make nodes
|
|
3164
|
38
|
|
|
39 Using with mplayer:
|
|
|
40 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 Currently there is only way to use ATI's drivers:
|
|
3270
|
43 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/radeon_vid -<your vesa's options> filename
|
|
3164
|
44 or
|
|
3270
|
45 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/rage128_vid -<your vesa's options> filename
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 For YV12 formats you can use also:
|
|
|
48 mplayer -vo mga:/dev/radeon_vid -<your mga's option> filename
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50 but in this case you should load at least radeonfb driver from
|
|
|
51 this package.
|
|
3164
|
52
|
|
3246
|
53 Configuring:
|
|
|
54 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 You can tune up some parameters with using following trick:
|
|
|
57 echo "parameter=value">/dev/radeon_vid
|
|
3251
|
58 Example (disables adaptive deinterlacing):
|
|
|
59 echo "deinterlace=off">/dev/radeon_vid
|
|
3246
|
60
|
|
|
61 To know more about these parameters - try read /dev/radeon_vid file ;)
|
|
3263
|
62 For example:
|
|
|
63 cat /dev/radeon_vid
|
|
3253
|
64
|
|
|
65 List of parameters:
|
|
|
66 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
3470
|
67 if you have rage128 chip:
|
|
3921
|
68 brightness=decval (-64:+63) changes brightness
|
|
|
69 saturation=decval (0:+31) changes saturation 0 == grayscaled mode
|
|
|
70 else - if you have radeon:
|
|
|
71 brightness=decval (-1000:+1000) -1000 == black screen
|
|
|
72 saturation=decval (-1000:+1000) -1000 == grayscaled mode
|
|
|
73 contrast=decval (-1000:+1000) -1000 == black screen
|
|
|
74 hue=decval (-1000:+1000) -1000 == +1000 (full circle)
|
|
|
75 all other values are within this range
|
|
|
76 Note: 0 is default value for every parameter on radeons
|
|
3945
|
77 WARNING: This driver violates rule: "no float in the kernel".
|
|
|
78 So if you have problems then don't use color correction and
|
|
|
79 tell me about these problems.
|
|
3470
|
80
|
|
3253
|
81 double_buff=on/off enables/disables double buffering
|
|
|
82 deinterlace=on/off enables/disables adaprive deinterlacing
|
|
|
83 deinterlace_pattern=hexval defines deinterlacing pattern
|
|
3246
|
84
|
|
3265
|
85 Driver parameters:
|
|
|
86 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
87
|
|
|
88 You can use some additional parameters during module loading:
|
|
|
89 Example:
|
|
|
90 modprobe radeon_vid swap_fourcc=1
|
|
|
91
|
|
|
92 List of driver's parameters:
|
|
|
93 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
94 mtrr=1/0 configures MTRR (if available) default = 1
|
|
|
95 swap_fourcc=1/0 performs byte swapping of passed fourcc.
|
|
|
96 (It's required for compatibility with -vo mga)
|
|
|
97
|
|
|
98 To know more about driver's parameters execute:
|
|
|
99 modinfo radeon_vid
|
|
|
100 or
|
|
|
101 modinfo rage128_vid
|
|
|
102
|
|
3164
|
103 Note:
|
|
|
104 ~~~~~
|
|
3265
|
105 For command line of mplayer:
|
|
3164
|
106 You can pass only options with can be recognized by vo_vesa driver.
|
|
|
107 (Indeed radeon_vid and rage128_vid are stupid things and can create
|
|
|
108 video overlay only. But mode switching and other adjustement performs
|
|
|
109 vo_vesa driver. This mean that they use VESA BIOS as graphics server).
|
|
|
110
|
|
|
111 Conslusion:
|
|
|
112 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
113 This stuff (radeon(rage128)_vid) currently doesn't support any standards.
|
|
|
114 So after implementing linux standards I'll fully rewrite this driver.
|
|
|
115
|
|
3265
|
116 Full example:
|
|
|
117 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
118 modprobe radeon_vid mtrr=1
|
|
3278
|
119 echo "deinterlace_pattern=F0055555">/dev/radeon_vid
|
|
3265
|
120 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/radeon_vid -fs -zoom -bpp 32 filename
|
|
|

|
|
122 Enjoy! |
