 AGP 
 connected via DVI to a HDMI tv (DVI-HDMI) and with DRI enabled (default), 
 it freezes X and even after trying to kill X, It doesn't remove itself and 
 I have to reboot.  If I turn off DRI, X loads no problem.

Does changing the AGP transfer rate in the BIOS setup or using Option
AGPMode in xorg.conf help?

mplayer -vo xv:port=74 did the trick here (xvinfo says that the textured

   Ah, silly me ! I read the manpage too fast and tried xv:port=1 ...
   Anyway, as it's not so easy in totem and xine, and using the cmdline
   isn't so hype these days, I think it may make sense to use texturing by
   default with composite.
  
  Possibly, or it might be even better if the video players become
  smarter, e.g. using the overlay when their window isn't redirected (say
  in fullscreen mode) and a textured port otherwise (or when the overlay
  isn't available). Or, if we can make both adaptors work equally well,
  maybe we could merge them to a single one which automagically switches
  between overlay and textured as appropriate :). One can dream...
 
 That means the player can discriminate between textured and overlay
 adaptors, and know if it's in a composited environment. More clientspace
 hackery.

Hence the last idea of making it all transparent in the driver. It may
not be feasible though unfortunately.

 Yeah, but I was too lazy to weed through which ones were still current,
 and they didn't seem to be causing any problems yet...

I'm afraid we can't continue until you try without them. In particular,
backing store is known to be broken in all released versions of X.Org.

Re: texturedvideo adapter truncated in fullscreen

2008-02-26 Thread Peter Zubaj
Hi,

I played with textured video adapter on R9500Pro (R300).

Attached patch should fix four problems:
1) wrong pipe count for R300 (strange chessboard effect)
2) clipping issue
3) corruption when window is moved outside of screen, or is overlapped
with others windows.
4) I think R300_ENABLE_TILING constant is wrong defined

Best regards,
Peter Zubaj

   There's a little trouble though: when I put the video fullscreen,
the
   bottom of the video is blank. It's like the video height is limited
to
   something like 1024 (my screen is 1920x1200).
 
 
 There are still some clipping issues with r3xx/r4xx and probably r5xx
 I haven't sorted out yet.

 the textured code still needs to switch over to using pipelined
 uploads similar to what the overlay does.  Right now it just uses the
 CPU to copy the data over.  There's definitely room for improvement.

RS690 Working Using HDMI

2008-02-26 Thread Mike Lothian
Hi

Today for the first time my RS690 finally worked using the radeon
driver outputting on the HDMI port to my HDTV

Glxgears gets a steady 650 FPS but googleearth crashes the system. The
mouse still moves but nothing responds not even pressing the power
button which normally shuts down the box. Unfortunately I wasn't in a
position to ssh into the box

XV doesn't seem to be working correctly at all, which is the main
reason I moved to the radeon driver from the radeonhd one.

I'll happily run tests, apply patches and send in logs for any that
are requested.

Keep up the good work

Mike

Bug#467105: ATI driver: use of Xv causes one monitor to be repeatedly blanked

retitle 467105 ATI driver: xset dpms force on causes one monitor to be 
blanked briefly

 One of my monitors (VGA-0) is repeatedly and regularly blanked and
 unblanked, each change being approx. 1s apart when Xv is in use, e.g. by
 gxine.
 Actually, more like 1s off, 3s on, and for each pair of state changes,
 there is a corresponding pair of
   enable montype: 1
   enable montype: 3
 in the log.

 Why is gxine calling the DPMS hooks for the monitors?

It's designed to allow blanking when nothing is being played or the stream is
paused; on starting or resuming playback, it is intended that gxine will
unblank the display automatically. (There's no guarantee that the method used
to resume or start playback will also cause X to automatically unblank the
display; equally, there's no guarantee that the screen blanker will have cut
in, and gxine has no knowledge of whether it has.)

Also, I don't want it to ever be able to fail to restore the DPMS settings –
by not altering them, there's nothing to restore. This does require ensuring
that the blank timer never reaches 0 (unless it's set ludicrously low).

 Do other video players have the same problem?

Any which use the same methods will, since xset dpms force on is sufficient
to trigger the problem.
