we must distinguish 4 cases. VGA2SCART on: 1. ATI Radeon without FRC 2. Intel i9xx without FRC 3. ATI Radeon with FRC 4. Intel i9xx with FRC software patches required: 1. - xserver-xorg-video-radeon (newer versions may not need it) 2. - xserver-xorg-video-intel 3. - xserver-xorg-video-radeon - xineliboutput (newer versions already adopted the patch) - xine-lib - radeon-drm kernel module 4. - xserver-xorg-video-intel - xineliboutput (newer versions already adopted the patch) - xine-lib FRC stands for frame rate control. That means VGA video timing is synchronized with DVB stream => no software deinterlacing is needed any more. Fields are forwarded directly from softdecoder to VGA port. The simple version without FRC allows conventional operation (with software deinterlacing). It provides the minimum requirements needed for SCART over VGA. I don't know either how to maintain the patch set. So at least I took a few snapshots from my development and collected them at 'http://lowbyte.de/vga-sync-fields/' - Thomas _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
