| Post subject: | TV out Unichrome issues |
Hi everyone I have been lurking for a while and gotta say thanks to cesman and the crew for knoppmyth, it rocks! I set up my first knoppmyth box a couple of months ago on my desktop and wiped out windows (very satisfying) and it worked like a charm so I decided to go for it and buy a nice shuttle machine to replace the many boxes and wires surrounding my TV. I've had some major hassles though, the shuttle SK83G I thought had a nvidia chipset turned out to have a VIA K8M800 chipset and I can't for the life of me get the TV-out working. From the research I have done it looks like I need to install the Unichrome driver, which requires recompiling and patching XFree86 - am I understanding this correctly? If anyone has an easier solution I would love to hear it - I can't even get XF to compile. I'm very new to linux, but learning fast! |

unicrome support should already be present in knoppmyth, because that is the driver that the epia uses. |

thanks, that's re-assuring to know. I'll have another hack about in the XFconfig and hopefully get this cracked |

The man page for via says that the K8M800 support is patchy, I think my chipset is unsupported 
output of startx when i put "via" in as driver . . EE VIA(0): ViaVidHWDiffInit: Unhandled Chipset EE VIA(0): ViaSetPrimaryFIFO: Chipset 3 not implemented . . Has anyone managed to get a SK83G to work with driver other than VESA? |
