[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets
Yesterday I collected an (apparently) useful information regarding the i855GM (rev.02) hardware (which I own): after a linux session I rebooted into windows xp, activated the TV-OUT and used it to watch for many hours. Then I rebooted into linux and just before Xorg rewrote the video buffer, I could see the previous linux session's buffer (with some minimal noise added). This had happened previously when rebooting from linux to linux, and can be explained because there is some RAM persistence in the i855GM. But if the persistence happens equally when using another video driver, e.g. Windows i855 driver, then it means that the linux intel driver uses *different* RAM than the Windows driver, maybe some PIPE A/B difference? It's even more interesting to note that on Windows I used the normal LCD display and also the TV-OUT, while on Linux only the LCD display which obviously must have been feeded by RAM which was not touched by Windows for many hours. Can somebody explain this differently? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6270 Title: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets
Pushed by frustration of having to close my Linux sessions and boot into Windows, I packaged a chroot live system to use my TV-OUT without rebooting. Xorg 1.4 + the old i810 driver (v1.7.2) are inside, with perfectly compiling sources (so if somebody wants to rework its PCI part, you have a ready system here :-) ). I hope this will be useful to some of you. http://sourceforge.net/projects/i810tvout/ All feedback is welcome -- [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6270 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets
Hi Bryce, yes it no more compiles after the PCI rework done in Xorg server 1.6. There is a howto here http://www.x.org/wiki/PciReworkHowto which guides in rework of the new 'intel' driver, and I assume that the parts in i810 legacy driver which needs rewrital are almost the same. Has anybody reworked the PCI part of the old i810 driver (1.7.2-4)?

I will say it once again for everybody. ** Procedure to see if you are affected by kernel bug 9147 1) you get stuck keys 2) restart with 'acpi=off' kernel parameter (radical approach) or unload the 'ac,thermal,processor,battery' modules (much better) 3) bug is gone? 4) Yes - subscribe to bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9147, No - you have a different bug End -- Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
