This is an ESS Maestro 3 chipset. According to what I read on the web, at least one person has this working on a 4000. This is a dual boot machine with Windoz2K also, and sound works there. I'm running 4.3RC I compiled a new kernel with "device pcm" I don't even get a message that pcm0 was probed on boot. I tried recompiling the kernel with "option PNPBIOS". Still no go. Doing "strings | grep pcm" on the kernel shows the driver is there. Doing "boot -c" and listing devices show pcm0 is there. What am I doing wrong?

I just upgraded from a Intel-BX based Board to the Abit VP6 (2x 1Ghz Intel-CPU's, 512MB-Ram, FreeBSD-5.0 current) Almost everything works fine. The one exception is the Hauppauge WinTV-Card. I am using fxtv to watch TV and with the new Motherboard (based on a via apollo pro-chipset) I am getting only approx.1/3 of the picure (for every line from the left) if i am using full resolution (576/768) and direct PCI-Busmaster transfer to the AGP-Card. Low-Res (288/384) works fine. If I let the CPU transfer the data (fxvt goes into that mode if there is some overlap from another window - even though the Brooktree Chip could handle clipping - ) everythings is fine (albeit a bit slow). Just to get another datapoint, I tested this with Linux (Mandrake) with a 2.4.2 Kernel with the exact same results. Somewhere in the internet I have read some statements about 'problems' of PCI-Busmaster via the PCI-AGP Bridge of this chipset (VIA Apollo Pro 133A VT82C694X / VT82C686B) Any one who has seen this problem too? Maybe a solution? Would an other TV-Card work? Which one? Questions, questions ...

For this it would be necessary to have access to the port and build a native kernel module for nvidia. Perhaps in = time, someone will... The emulation provided for userland linux programs is not l= ike a linux kernel running within FreeBSD, but rather a translation layer that re= codes system calls for FreeBSD before the system handles them. Kernel objects are= a far different story. Many of them need a complete re-write to be nicely implemented in the kernel, the functionality there doesn't simply transfer = over by renaming a few calls and changing a few arguments.

I _think_ it is so you can program the GART which is (I think :) a way for a video card to get access to what appears to be a contigous chunk of memory, where in fact it isn't physically contiguos. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Apr 2 21:52: 0 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from w2xo.pgh.pa.us (18.gibs5.xdsl.nauticom.net [209.195.184.19]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3138C37B71D for ; Mon, 2 Apr 2001 21:51:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from durham@w2xo.pgh.pa.us) Received: from w2xo.pgh.pa.us (shazam [192.168.5.3]) by w2xo.pgh.pa.us (8.11.2/8.9.3) with ESMTP id f334orq81876; Tue, 3 Apr 2001 04:50:54 GMT (envelope-from durham@w2xo.pgh.pa.us) Message-ID: <3AC95750.FC9884A7@w2xo.pgh.pa.us> Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2001 00:53:36 -0400 From: "James C.

I have it working..mostly.. I was not aware from reading the stuff I found in the archives that it was "module only". As I found out, I had to remove the pcm driver to get it to work. If I had the pcm driver in the kernel, there were complaints about "pcm driver already loaded" or something of that sort.

The module is not called a kernel module because it bundles the glx modules traffic to the kernel, it seems to be a kernel object - and such can't be interpreted by the Linuxlator.

If I remember correctly, the kernel module from NVidia is only to speed up DMA operations in 3D mode, so the XF86 module should at least be usable. I didn't know how much of speed you lose, but at least you should be able to see something. Can you give it a try and report here?

I'll try, as soon as I have built XF 4 - I just pulled my home box to a recent -CURRENT with working ISDN yesterday. :) However I don't expect their glx module to have such a fallback mode. But we must try anyway. :) At least I have a preprocessed version of the kernel from a Linux box now, I hope that makes deciphering what is going on easier.

The nvidia driver that's part of XF86 4.0.x (nv_drv.o) works fine for 2D, but it doesn't do 3D/DRI/Xv. The only way to get hardware acceleration is to use utah-glx with XF 3.3.6, or to use nvidia_drv.o (not nv_drv.o) + nvidia's kernel module.

I suspect there is some misunderstanding being spread here (perhaps due to the previously mentioned fact that the agp module has no man page). If I remember correctly, the mga module automatically loads the agp module. Apparently it is necessary for DRI with the matrox cards. This may be true of other cards as well. I don't think it is necessary for 2D with most cards, as 2D was possible before the AGP module showed up; but I could be wrong. I believe the AGP module is needed to provide large amounts of RAM so that the hardware-accelerated OpenGL stuff can have multi-megabyte DMA buffers for transferring commands and textures to the video card. Such memory needs to be physically contiguous, but there is no clean way for the kernel to allocate large amounts of contiguous regions post-boot, so the GART is used to make memory appear contiguous to the video card. The AGP module may or may not also enable AGP 2x/4x (I don't know). I hope I'm not just spreading more misunderstanding here. A man page would be nice.

Does nvidia_drv.o really _requieres_ the kernel module to put _something_ on the screen (do you have tried it yourself)? I didn't have the PI description about the architecture here, but if I remember correctly there are two ways to put 3D on the screen. A way which uses DMA and a way without DMA.

If I recall correctly, Nvidia's driver (nvidia_drv.o) doesn't use DRI, but instead uses their own kind of DRI through their kernel module. Mark Vojkovich would probably be the best person to ask about this, since he maintains both nv_drv.o (XF86) and nvidia_drv.o (Nvidia's driver).

You probably refer to direct rendering (banging on the graphics iron directly) and indirect rendering (transmitting all graphics primitives via sockets), using the GL over X protocol (=GLX the protocol). The latter has been realized with the Utah glx module for 3.3.x servers - but it is slow due to protocol overhead and of course because the driver does not use low level features of the nvidia chips, like DMA.

There are some docs up on how to get the open source There's a posting in -current (Message-ID: <986515548.560.0.camel@moroni>) from George "D." Plymale. It's small, so I include it here: ---snip--- I was talking with some fellows who seemed rather confident that if a FBSD developer would port the rather small NVIDIA_kernel to FBSD that Nvidia would make their driver available for XF86 on FBSD. I'm personally not familiar with FBSD development, still with linux, but would love to switch over to FBSD, but this is very difficult until there are solid drivers for XF86 for the Nvidia boards, as I run an Elsa GeForce 2 Ultra and the current XF86 open drivers are flaky on my system. This was very exciting news to a would-be FBSD user! One of the persons also mentioned that it would be good to get BSDi involved as well. The source from which I gleaned this idea was from Open Projects IRC in channel #nvidia. Whoever starts working on this may be able to find help from the people there. It also may be possible to find people connected with Nvidia there. Here is a link to the current driver: ftp://ftp1.detonator.nvidia.com/pub/drivers/english/XFree86_40/0.9-769/NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769.tar.gz Hope this takes off! Thanks so much for the continued development of a great OS! ---snip--- Perhaps this motivates a kernel hacker to help NVidia.

I've also tried all the settings for defaultAudioInput but still no sound from the wintv card. Attached is the fxtv -debug startup output. The card works good on Win98 (sound and picture) and it looks great on fbsd ;) Please help.
