Dave, I also own a Radeon X800 XL AGP 256MB and would like to use the open source driver. Do you have a patch for the changes you made?
I just finished a driver for the Fusion HDTV 3/5 Gold TV tuner cards. These cards receive both analog and digital TV. There is no MPEG decoding on the cards so I bought a Radeon X800 XL card to get component video output and MPEG acceleration. I think this means I only need 2D so I tried the ATI binary driver version 8.14.13. I have given up on the ATI binary driver because it doesn't allocate enough DRI buffers (100 buffers) to hold an HDTV frame (1920x1080 pixels). No one at ATI is able to tell me how to increase the number of DRI buffers. If the open source driver has this limit I should be able to fix it. Although I am a driver developer, I am new to this driver and how to intergrate it into the kernel. I run Gentoo Linux 2.6.12 and will move to 2.6.13 as soon as it is released. Please point me to documentation such as CVS info and the procedure to compile and install the radeon driver and any associated libraries. -- Mac ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
