Has anyone gotten an ATi video card working successfully? Has anyone gotten an ATi w/ TV out working successfully? If you have, please post details. If you live in Southern California and would like to get together to resolve this please let me know. If you are from ATi, please pull your head out and provide decent Linux drivers (and send me a card so I can test and possibly offer out the box support w/ KnoppMyth).

Perhaps a search of the forum :
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... =ati+tvout
(although I'm not sure how current the info in that thread is)

Yeah... I know that is there, there is also anyone (don't provide as much details). The problem is that only a few folks said yeah this worked for me... A few others stated that it didn't. A few stating that is worked and a few stating the it doesn't, doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy.

BTW - Cecil, the recent ATI thread had me thinking that I should post a "Hardware to avoid" message and ask you to make it sticky. Not sure if it should go under "Hardware", "Hint's & Tips", ... I figure to list all the usual suspects which typically give folks trouble, especially "the gang of four" - Via chipset Mobo, ATI Video card, SATA drives, and USB keyboards/mice. Not that some folks, including you, haven't had good luck with some of these, but ...

The ati radeon 8500 and above cards have drivers written for linux. I currently have a Radeon 9200SE working with tv out on my myth-tv box. The drivers only seem to work on the cards made by ati and not the 3rd party cards. You can get these drivers off the ati website. The driver is 58 meg, but I got it to work.

Details details details.

- Download the package from the ATI site
- Convert the RPM to a .deb and install it
apt-get update
apt-get install alien
alien fglrx-4.3.0-3.12.0.i386.rpm
dpkg --force-overwrite -i fglrx_4.3.0-4.12_i386.deb

this installs a program called fglrxconfig which will make an XF86Config-4 for you.

then tv-out worked for me, but at 800x600 virtual desktop. so i edited the modeline in XF86Config-4 to include only 640x480

most of this has to be done as root.

The wiki really needs a good write up on setting up an ATI card for TV-Out. (Hint, hint, hint, ...)

I got this working, but mine is not working as well as it could. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction or explain how to best answer the questions on fglrxconfig, but I haven't figured it out yet. I tried looking up some help info on ATI's website, but I haven't found what I need yet.

Anyway, I thought this info would be easier to look at in html so I stuck it up here:

http://www.digitalfactor.com/mythtv

Here's m my issue that's also on the above webpage that will hopefully develop into something good enough to be a Wiki Howto: (for the links see the above webpage.

----Begin explanation------

ATI TV out working w/ an ATI Radeon 8500 with the RCA jack output

I was able to get TV out working on my ATI 8500, but it's not working as well as perhaps it could. The reason I say that is because it works slow. I have a KnopMyth install and I try to play TuxRacer and it is slow enough to be unplayable. The difference is that I used to have a Matrox G200-TV (as a Gfx card only not for TV-out) in this same machine and TuxRacer ran fast enough to be playable. What's more important to me is that changing channels takes about 2.7 seconds which is a little bit slow to me.
Edit - Oh.. I looked and it sounds like b/c it's recording the live TV at the same time it's pretty normal to take a second or two to change changes. There are some options out there that I can try to resolve this which probably doesn't have anything to do with how the drivers are installed. I still want to get the drivers working as well as they can though.

Also note: That I haven't been able to get it working have Live TV display on both the monitor and the TV. If I boot it up with the VGA cable for the monitor plugged in and the TV then only live TV will display on the monitor and not the TV. If I boot up with the VGA cable disconnected I get live TV to dispaly on the live TV, but I can't plug in theVGA cable after boot up to see the screen on the monitor. That's not a huge issue to me as I won't need to view it on the monitor if I get to work better.

The point of this is to help contribute and hopefully if I figure this out it might develop into something useful enough to become a KnopMyth Wiki How to:

For reference my h/w info:

MB: Abit KG7-RAID
CPU: AMD Althon XP 1800
Mem: 1GB Type: PC2100
HDD: IBM 120GB
Tuner: Hauppague PVR-350
GFx: Ati 8500 (Video out working)
GFX Driver: ATI Linux X4.3.0-8.18.8
Audio: Soundblaster Live!

I followed this tread:

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... =ati+tvout

I followed the instructions that tjimenez87 wrote on the above thread. Here are his instructions, with what I did (in italics). Hopefully someone can see my errors and point me in the write direction to get it working better.

Note: This is using the ATI drivers not the Gatos drivers like tjimenez87 did

Download ATI 's linux drivers from http://www. ati .com/

I chose Drivers & Software, Linux, From the knowledge base I chose Linux Drivers and Software, Under Linux x86 I chose * RADEON 8500 Series and higher, ATI Proprietary Linux x86 Drivers for XFREE86 / X. Org Version 8.19.8 (or the most current version), and then under the X-Windows Version, I downloaded the driver for XFree86.4.3, because that's what I determined I needed from running the Check.sh script

Choose XFree86 4.3 if you are using R4V5, or run their Check.sh script to determine what you need.

2. Execute:
apt-get update
apt-get install alien
alien -d [driver file name]

This converts the rpm file into a file debian can install.

3. Install:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite [driver file name].deb

--force-overwrite is needed if you get an error saying that another package needs a file. Warning, I haven't fully tested this to see if this is causing the problem I'm seeing.

4. Run the fglrxconfig utility to configure the driver
* Answer the questions as prompted
I don't fully understand what all the questions mean. These are the answers that I think I chose. fglrxconfig <click here to view
* When asked to generate an XF86Config-4 file, answer y

5. Restart and log into X-Windows

6. Run fglrxinfo to verify the driver is installed correctly (Note: this command worked for me from a UxTerm shell, but doesn't work via ssh)

If the output reads OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. then your ATI drivers are installed and configured correctly.

This is what mine says

fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 8500 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.1014 (X4.3.0-8.18.

Otherwise, if fglrxinfo indicates that MESA Indirect (software) Rendering is being used, then you may want to repeat the steps listed above, while paying careful attention to the following:

* Any error messages during install (see ATI 's website for more info)
* All answers given during fglrxconfig

Also, I edited my XF86Config-4 to have only the "800x600" screen and I tried to add in support for the ATI remote

Here's a copy of my current XF86Config-4 (html version) (acutal file) that works for me for now, but I hope that I'll be able to figure out how to configure this correctly with help from some nice, smart people, on this forum.

Well the pundit-r IGP now works fine with the ATI drivers. I had to hack the binary file last time to get TV-Out working!

Would send you the card if I could Cecil

BTW: I am getting about 20% CPU usage by XFree86 (it goes up with the recording res but is roughly the same as mythfrontend) when watching Live-TV is this normal as folks over on the MythTV archives mentioned 1-1.5% ...

I got my ATI8500DV to work by getting the driver from here:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanch ... r.html#src
As near as I can remember, I followed the instructions to install the driver, leaving out the kernel parts.

Then I ran fglrxconfig (I've put my fglrxconfig session at the end). I read somewhere that it was important to enable the clone mode.

After getting it working, I don't think the video quality is very good. It doesn't look like I'm getting full frame rate when watching (interlaced) live TV (I'm running an Athlon 2800 w/2G RAM, so the CPU, etc. shouldn't be a bottleneck) . I'm guessing since I didn't recompile the kernel I'm not getting OpenGL and that has something to do with it.
Also, I can't seem to find good brightness/contrast settings - I think the gamma needs adjusting somewhere. I just finished stumbling my way through setting up R5A26, so there's probably some setting I could change somewhere that I haven't found yet. However, as it turns out, the 8500's fan is too loud and I must remove the card or the Myth box (per my wife), so I picked up an fx5200 today.

Cecil: If you want the 8500DV, let me know & I'll send it to you.

Now we want to set the specifications for the monitor(s). The two critical
parameters are the vertical refresh rate, which is the rate at which the
the whole screen is refreshed, and the horizontal sync rate,which is the
rate at which scanlines are displayed.

The valid range for horizontal sync and vertical sync should be documented
in the manual of your monitor. If in doubt, check the monitor database
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/Monitors to see if your monitor is there and use as custom
ranges.
Otherwise, you can let the driver automatically detect the setting .

External AGPGART module:

It is possible (but not recommended) to turn off the usage of
built-in agp support of the provided fglrx kernel module and
use the external AGP GART module (agpgart.o) of the Linux kernel.
If you want to use the external module then ensure that it loads
prior to the drivers full startup. In order to manually load the
external agpgart module execute this on the commandline (as root):
/sbin/insmod agpgart
or alternatively configure your system to auto load the module.

Do you want to use the external AGP GART module (y/n)? [n]


AGP Locked User Pages

The graphics driver is able to read and write textures and bitmaps trough AGP
mapped and locked views of the main memory for the application's mem space.
Performing those mapping task depends on several successfull interaction steps
with the Linux kernel. A failure in this process might lead to some messages
in the kernel log. If these kernel functions are failing silently or in case
of other heavy incompatibility (e.g. a new kernel memory manger) then there
is a high chance that the system will hang as soon as the graphics adpater
wants to read from assumed but nor really mapped memory location.

If you do see that the advanced fgl_glxgears application halts your session
whilst the simple glxgears does run nicely then please disable this feature.

If you do see lots of notifications about failed kernel calls for mem locking
then please disable this feature and re-check the kernel message log.

Do you want to enable "AGP Locked User Pages" (y/n)? [y]

TLS Method: *** this only applies to the FireGL workstation boards ***

The graphics driver supports two different methods of thread local storage.
The first method is fast but might immediately abort when used with
WineX, VM emulators or some other advanced programming tools.
The second method is up to 10% slower in a few rendering cases
but does cope nicely with any sort of exotic software.

For more details on this topic, please see the readme.

If not totally sure about your needs, then please select "0 - default".

0 - default (FireGL workstation boards: fast)
1 - fast operation (only for standard gnu C/C++ OpenGL applications)
2 - compatible operation (for WineX, VM emulators and some profilers)

Which storage method do you want to use? [0]

File has been written. Take a look at it before running 'startx'.
Note that the XF86Config-4 file must be in one of the directories

Nice write up! I'll look into providing debs in the future! To be honest, the only use I'd have for an ATi is to test the functionality. If you'd like to contribute one, PM me.

My ATI X700 is working beautifully. However, I am not using the TV-out function, as I will be going from DVI to HDMI on my TV. I just downloaded and installed the XF86 4.3.0 deb from http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html#bin and then ran fglrxconfig, and stepped through it. Rebooted, and it was up and running. And I know it is working with my video card, because it gets quite a bit hotter now, and the fan keeps going on and off... I know this because the fan is going bad and is quite loud and annoying. So I am getting a slot cooler that is much bigger than the dinky ATI fan.

my asus radeon 7000 works perfectly well with tv out. it, like a lot of the other hardware in my knoppmyh box was intended to be a stopgap, but i've since decided, if it aint broke, i'm not fixing it. instead of a new card, i'll get a bigger drive to store recordings.

i literally had to do *nothing* to get it to work with tv out, it works fine right from the bios, all the way through setup, and watching tv, playing back recordings. ony thing i did was choose "tv" option when installing.

In light of my problems with black and white output on my GeForce4 video out, I've decided to try my old ATI Radeon 9000. I've tried to use install-radeon-debian.sh script and got this:



Where can I get the proper XF86Config-4 file?

I also tried using the steps outlined here:

After following the steps mentioned I got:



I tried installing that deb but for some reason did not get the fglrxconfig command. I tried remaking the deb with the --scripts param and it produced another deb without error, but it too did not 'install' the fglrxconfig command. All that is available is:

fgl_glxgears fglrx_xgamma fglrxinfo

It seems like I've been climbing uphill on every hardware 'upgrade' I've been making lately. Any tips on getting either method to work would be greatly appreciated and would help ease some of the frustration I've been having as of late.
