Re: [Freevo-users] Buying a TV out card

2004-07-19 Thread Teemu Ahola
Hi,

I have Radeon7000 and so far I haven't able to make it work with TV except in 
VESA modes so no HW acceleration. That's why I am swithich to NVidia MX440 
card. I have tried to get it work in X and FB without luck. Using radeon 
drivers TV picture is corrupted but using VESA drivers it is OK.

 I'm buying a video card for tv-out and Freevo. I do not really use the
 gaming functions, so primarily it should be cheap. It'll probably be
 PCI so that I can still use my AGP video card. I found a Radeon 7000
 (64MB PCI w/ TV-out) for $80 (Canadian). Is anyone else here using the
 Radeon 7000 with Freevo? Any other suggestions for which card I should
 buy?

 My AGP card is a NVidia GeForce 2. Which ATI card offers roughly the
 same performance (so that I can compare)?

 If you're interested, here's a list of older/cheaper cards I'm looking
 at:

Hi,

Yes I know. But the monitor alone does not work either. Also Freevo 1.3.2 _works_ 
perfectly so something has been changed in current Freevo, which causes this. 

I have both Freevo 1.3.2 and 1.3.4 installed at the same time so I can easily confirm 
that 1.3.2 works and 1.3.4 does not work.

-Teemu-


 you do know that televisions can not handle resolutions that your 
 monitorcan...
 
 I'm betting anything over 800X600 will not work.
 
 I have had zero luck with ATI cards under linux, I always end up 
 tradingthem to someone for an nvidia card
 
 
 Hope you have better luck!

[Freevo-users] Problen with newest Freevo

2003-08-17 Thread Teemu Ahola
Hi,

I have a problem with newest Freevo (1.3.4). When I start it from
console, my screen goes Power off and TV's picture becomes disordered. I
have Radeon 7000 and I am using vesa fbdev. My Freevo.conf looks like
this:


cdparanoia = /usr/bin/cdparanoia
chanlist = us-cable
display = fbdev:vidix
fbxine = /usr/bin/fbxine
geometry = 1024x768
jpegtran = /usr/bin/jpegtran
lame = /usr/bin/lame
mplayer = /usr/bin/mplayer
oggenc = /usr/bin/oggenc
tv = pal
version = 2.1
xine = /usr/bin/xine


I had no problems with Freevo 1.3.2. I have Gentoo system and I
downloaded rsync-freevo script file and ran it before 'emerge freevo'.
However Freevo works well undex X, but for practical reasons, I don't
want to use Freevo with X.

so fb driver is vesa.

2003-08-16 Thread Teemu Ahola
Hi,

I recheck my system with Freevo 1.3.2 and it works corretly. It seems
that 1.3.4 enabled screen options, which are not supported by my monitor
nor my TV. My 'display' parameter in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf file is
fbdev:vidix and 'geometry' is the same as current vesa mode, which is
1024x768.

2003-08-14 Thread Teemu Ahola
Hi,

I am able to get mplayer to work with vesa framebuffer and vidix.
However performance is very poor. Since I am using TV-out too, I cannot
use radeonfb. Is there any way to increase video performance?
