| 1682 | 104 <P>Not all CPUs support MTRRs. For example older K6-2's [around 266Mhz, |
| 105 stepping 0] doesn't support MTRR, but stepping 12's do ('<CODE>cat /proc/cpuinfo</CODE>' | |

| 293 <P>The DGA driver allows for switching the resolution of the output signal. | |
| 294 This avoids the need for doing (slow) software scaling and at the same | |
| 295 time provides a fullscreen image. Ideally it would switch to the exact | |
| 296 resolution (except for honouring aspect ratio) of the video data, but the | |
| 1686 | 297 XServer only allows switching to resolutions predefined in |
| 1682 | 298 <CODE>/etc/X11/XF86Config</CODE> (<CODE>/etc/X11/XF86Config-4</CODE> for XFree 4.0.X respectively). |
| 299 Those are defined by so-called modelines and depend on the capabilites | |
| 300 of your video hardware. The XServer scans this config file on startup and | |

| 467 SLOOOW now, unless you have a real fast CPU (and/or MTRR?). :(</P> | |
| 1612 | 468 |

| 1682 | 524 <P>To use it, you first have to compile mga_vid.o:</P> |
| 1612 | 525 |
| 1682 | 526 <P><CODE> cd drivers<BR> |
| 527 make</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 528 |
| 1682 | 529 <P>Then create /dev/mga_vid device:</P> |
| 1612 | 530 |
| 1682 | 531 <P><CODE> mknod /dev/mga_vid c 178 0</CODE></P> |
| 1612 | 532 |
| 1682 | 533 <P>and load the driver with</P> |
| 534 | |
| 535 <P><CODE> insmod mga_vid.o</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 536 |
| 1682 | 537 <P>You should verify the memory size detection using the 'dmesg' command. If |
| 538 it's bad, use the mga_ram_size option (rmmod mga_vid first), specify card's | |
| 539 memory size in MB:</P> | |
| 1612 | 540 |
| 1682 | 541 <P><CODE> insmod mga_vid.o mga_ram_size=16</CODE></P> |
| 1612 | 542 |
| 1682 | 543 <P>To make it load/unload automatically when needed, insert the following line |
| 544 at the end of /etc/modules.conf:</P> | |
| 1612 | 545 |
| 1682 | 546 <P><CODE> alias char-major-178 mga_vid</CODE></P> |
| 1612 | 547 |
| 1682 | 548 <P>Then run</P> |
| 1612 | 549 |
| 1682 | 550 <P><CODE> depmod -a</CODE></P> |
| 1612 | 551 |
| 1682 | 552 <P>Now you have to (re)compile <B>MPlayer</B>, ./configure will detect /dev/mga_vid |
| 553 and build the 'mga' driver. Using it from <B>MPlayer</B> goes by '-vo mga' if | |
| 554 you have matroxfb console, or '-vo xmga' under XFree86 3.x.x or 4.x.x.</P> | |
| 555 | |
| 2108 | 556 <P>The mga_vid driver cooperates with Xv.</P> |

749 image. If you really want to use X, use the <CODE>-vo x11 -fs -zoom</CODE> |
| 2486 | 750 options, but it will be <B>SLOW</B>, and has <B>Macrovision</B> copyprotection |
| 751 enabled.</LI> | |
| 752 <LI><B>Framebuffer</B>: using the <B>matroxfb modules</B> in the 2.4 kernels. | |
| 753 2.2 kernels don't have the TVout feature in them, thus unusable for this. | |
| 754 You have to enable ALL matroxfb-specific feature during compilation, and | |
| 755 compile them into <B>modules</B>! | |
| 756 <UL> | |
| 757 <LI> | |
| 758 Enter <CODE>TVout/matroxset</CODE> and type <CODE>make</CODE>. Install | |
| 759 <CODE>matroxset</CODE> into somewhere in your PATH.</LI> | |
| 760 <LI> | |
| 761 If you don't have <CODE>fbset</CODE> installed, enter | |
| 762 <CODE>TVout/fbset</CODE> and type <CODE>make</CODE>. Install | |
| 763 <CODE>fbset</CODE> into somewhere in your PATH.</LI> | |
| 764 <LI> | |
| 765 Then enter into the <CODE>TVout/</CODE> directory in the <B>MPlayer</B> | |
| 766 source, and execute <CODE>./modules</CODE> as root. Your text-mode console | |
| 767 will enter into framebuffer mode (no way back!).</LI> | |
| 768 <LI>Next, run the <CODE>./matroxtv</CODE> script. This will present you | |
| 769 to a very simple menu. Press <B>2</B> and <B>ENTER</B>. Now you should | |
| 770 have the same picture on your monitor, and TV. The <B>3.</B> option | |
| 771 will turn on independent display, but then you <B>can't use X</B>! If | |
| 772 the TV picture has some weird stripes on it, the script wasn't able to | |
| 773 set the resolution correctly (to 640x512 by default). Use other menu | |
| 774 items randomly and it'll be OK :)</LI> | |

| 778 Yoh. Next task is to make the cursor on tty1 (or whatever) to disappear, | |

| 785 | |
| 786 <P> | |
| 787 You possibly want to put the above into a script, and also clear | |
| 788 the screen.. To turn the cursor back :<BR><CODE>echo -e '\033[?25h'</CODE> | |
| 789 </P> | |
| 790 | |
| 791 <P>Yeah kewl. Start movie playing with <CODE>mplayer -vo mga -fs -screenw 640 | |
| 792 -screenh 512 <filename></CODE><BR> | |
| 793 (if you use X, now change to matroxfb with for example CTRL-ALT-F1 !)<BR> | |
| 794 Change 640x512 if you set the resolution to other..<BR> | |

| 806 <b>A few word about ATI's TV-out:</b><BR> | |
| 807 Currently ATI doesn't want to support any of its TV-out chips under Linux. | |
| 808 Below is official answer from ATI Inc.: | |
| 809 | |
| 810 <P> | |
| 811 <code> | |
| 812 <i> | |
| 813 <br>> Hello! | |
| 814 <br>> | |
| 815 <br>> On your pages you wrote that you support linux developers. | |
| 816 <br>> Currently I participate with mplayer project (www.mplayerhq.hu) | |
| 817 <br>> I'm interesting with enabling TV-out on Radeon VE chips during | |
| 818 <br>> movie playback. I would be glad to add this feature to radeonfb driver | |
| 819 <br>> (which can be found in CVS tree of mplayer project at main/drivers/radeon). | |
| 820 <br>> Do I have a chance to get any official technical documenation? | |
| 821 </i> | |
| 822 <br>We will not provide TV out related documents due to macrovision concerns. | |
| 823 <br>Also mpeg2 decoding is something that we MAY consider in the future but not | |
| 824 <br>at this current time. This is again due to proprietary and 3rd party | |
| 825 <br>information. | |
| 826 </code> | |
| 827 </P> | |
| 828 | |
| 829 <P>Pity isn't?</P> | |
| 830 | |
| 831 <P> | |
| 832 <code> | |
| 833 <B>Q:What is Macrovision?</B><BR> | |
| 834 A:It's copy protection mechanism.</code> | |
| 835 </P> | |
| 836 | |
| 837 <P>It means that if they open any TV-out related information then | |
| 838 hackers will be able to disable copy protection on their chips. Therefore | |
| 839 we have no chance to get working TV-out on ATI.</P> | |
| 840 | |
| 841 <P>What's status of ATI's tv-out chips under Linux: | |
| 842 <LI><b>ATI Mach64</b> has <i>ImpacTV</i> which is supported by gatos. | |
| 843 <LI><b>ASIC Radeon VIVO</b> has <i>Rage Theatre</i> which is supported by gatos. | |
| 844 <LI><b>Radeon VE</b> and <b>Rage PRO LT</b> have <i>ImpacTV2+</i> which is not supported under Linux.</P> | |
