1 framebuffer driver for ATI Radeon chipset video boards
|
|
|
2 ======================================================

|
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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
13 Simply type 'make' command in this directory then copy results ( *.o files ) to:
|
|
|
14 /lib/modules/$(LINUX_VER)/kernel/drivers/video
|
|
|
15 directory.
|
|
|
16 Don't forget about:
|
|
|
17 depmod -a
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 Anyway you should have 'Frame buffer support' compiled into linux-kernel
|
|
|
20 and at least '8bpp packed pixel support' compiled and installed as module.
|
|
|
21 (But if you plan to use this module with mplayer you also should have
|
|
|
22 16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp pixel support compiled as modules).

25 Radeon video overlay
|
|
|
26 ====================
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 Was designed for mplayer and currently can be used only by mplayer.
|
|
|
29 It's RGB-YUV BES for radeon cards (althrough there is experimental
|
|
|
30 support for rage128 / rage128pro chips).
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 Installation:
|
|
|
33 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 After building modules just copy them to:
|
|
|
36 /lib/modules/$(LINUX_VER)/kernel/drivers/video
|
|
|
37 directory.
|
|
|
38 Don't forget about:
|
|
|
39 depmod -a
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 If you are doing it first time then create the device then execute
|
|
|
42 following command:
|
|
|
43 mknod /dev/radeon_vid c 178 0
|
|
|
44 for radeon_vid.o
|
|
|
45 mknod /dev/rage128_vid c 178 0
|
|
|
46 for rage128_vid.o
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 Using with mplayer:
|
|
|
49 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 Currently there is only way to use ATI's drivers:
|
|
|
52 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/radeon_vid -<your options> filename
|
|
|
53 or
|
|
|
54 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/rage128_vid -<your options> filename
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 Note:
|
|
|
57 ~~~~~
|
|
|
58 You can pass only options with can be recognized by vo_vesa driver.
|
|
|
59 (Indeed radeon_vid and rage128_vid are stupid things and can create
|
|
|
60 video overlay only. But mode switching and other adjustement performs
|
|
|
61 vo_vesa driver. This mean that they use VESA BIOS as graphics server).
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 Conslusion:
|
|
|
64 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
65 This stuff (radeon(rage128)_vid) currently doesn't support any standards.
|
|
|
66 So after implementing linux standards I'll fully rewrite this driver.
