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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
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:
|
|
|
43 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/radeon_vid -<your options> filename
|
|
|
44 or
|
|
|
45 mplayer -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/rage128_vid -<your options> filename
|
|
|
46
|
|
3246
|
47 Configuring:
|
|
|
48 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50 You can tune up some parameters with using following trick:
|
|
|
51 echo "parameter=value">/dev/radeon_vid
|
|
3251
|
52 Example (disables adaptive deinterlacing):
|
|
|
53 echo "deinterlace=off">/dev/radeon_vid
|
|
3246
|
54
|
|
|
55 To know more about these parameters - try read /dev/radeon_vid file ;)
|
|
3253
|
56 Note: don't use 'cat' since it can't detect EOF during reading such files.
|
|
3246
|
57 (I use midnight commander for that ;)
|
|
3253
|
58 or try this:
|
|
|
59 head -n 20 /dev/radeon_vid
|
|
|
60
|
|
|
61 List of parameters:
|
|
|
62 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
63 brightness=decval (-64:+63) doesn't work on radeons
|
|
|
64 saturation=decval (0:+31) doesn't work on radeons
|
|
|
65 double_buff=on/off enables/disables double buffering
|
|
|
66 colour_key=hexval defines colour key
|
|
|
67 deinterlace=on/off enables/disables adaprive deinterlacing
|
|
|
68 deinterlace_pattern=hexval defines deinterlacing pattern
|
|

|

|
3164
|
70 Note:
|
|
|
71 ~~~~~
|
|
|
72 You can pass only options with can be recognized by vo_vesa driver.
|
|
|
73 (Indeed radeon_vid and rage128_vid are stupid things and can create
|
|
|
74 video overlay only. But mode switching and other adjustement performs
|
|
|
75 vo_vesa driver. This mean that they use VESA BIOS as graphics server).
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77 Conslusion:
|
|
|
78 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
79 This stuff (radeon(rage128)_vid) currently doesn't support any standards.
|
|
|
80 So after implementing linux standards I'll fully rewrite this driver.
