| 1921 | 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. | |
| 1919 | 10 |
| 1921 | 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). | |
| 21 | |
| 3164 | 22 |
| 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). | |
| 29 | |
| 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |

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 |
| 121 | |
| 122 Enjoy! |
