The problem is probably due to an inconsistency between what the dos apps think the irq and dma are set to compared to what the freebsd kernel sets them to, provided that the card is one that the kernel probe is smart enuf to set...does this make sense? i have a cheapy little microsoft sound system card...freebsd will set the dma to a different setting then what win95 expects, so i get no sound unless i reboot the machine in windows 95 *twice*. Check the settings that descent sets it to by running descent, exiting descent and then seeing if u can figure out the settings using msd.exe. Then set the freebsd kernel config file to those settings.... hope it helps... > I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.6 and the last version of the GUS PnP > driver for it. > > PS: These problems are not essencial, but I thought that reporting > then I could help the development. > > Jonny > > -- > Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br > +55 21 290-4698 ( Job ) jonny@cisi.coppe.ufrj.br > Network Manager UFRJ/COPPE/CISI > Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro > ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Feb 17 10:23:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA03753 for multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 17 Feb 1997 10:23:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA03747 for ; Mon, 17 Feb 1997 10:23:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA07003; Mon, 17 Feb 1997 10:23:36 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 10:23:35 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: "John M.

On most motherboards, "ICU Enabled" means that the settings for the PnP cards are hardcoded by the BIOS's ICU program (usually some pretty menu driven dos program). With ICU disabled, the BIOS does it's best to configure the card. In older motherboards like many ASUS brand pentium boards, the PnP configuration code is goofed up. This means that disabling the ICU will cause the PnP code in the BIOS to run, thus confusing the PnP card (and usually making it unconfigurable by my PnP support code). You should try to flash in the latest version of your motherboard's BIOS (especially if it's an Asus motherboard).

Is it 15? NMI stands for 'non-masked interrupt' and is used for doing audio under protected-mode drivers in DOS (I think). If audio works in DOOM you can ignore this.

From what I've seen/heard, Hauppauge has better tech support and more stable drivers than STB, which is why I went with them. Also, one thing to be aware of when scanning the Hauppauge promo info on their web site: http://www.hauppauge.com/hcw/index.htm http://206.149.250.27/index.htm What they refer to as Overlay mode is different than what Amancio's referring to. When doing video-in-window, their MSW95 drivers always do PCI-to-PCI transfer over the bus. Their "Overlay Mode" refers to transferring YUV to the video card and letting the video card do any scaling/quantization (thus scaling is only limitied by the video card). Their "Primary Surface Mode" on the other hand refers to transferring raw pixel data to the video card in its frame buffer's formats, doing any necessary scaling and quantization on the WinCast card (which the Bt848 limits to 640x480 for NTSC). Their Overlay Mode requires a video card that supports a YUV port and they say this eats about half a meg of memory on the video card to store YUV frames as they come in. I get very good results running Primary Surface with my Hercules card.

Hi, "Overlay" means that the Bt848 has access to the video frame buffer. The bit about yuv to rgb and scaling has to deal with the video display cards capability. If Hauppage is using video for windows, the "Primay Surface Mode" means that the Bt848 has to transfer the capture frame to the system and then to the vga display mode. If this is not the case, then Hauppage either has a modified version of video for windows or their own video driver subsystem which augmenst "Video For Windows" which would not surprise me at all. "Primary Surface Mode" is just a technical term to abstract the video display's frame buffer. You can also have a "Back Surface" which is typically used for double or triple buffering video display. With directdraw you can specified to flip surfaces on "VSYNC" among many things for accurate video display. That is every time that the vga card generats a "VSYNC" interrupt you have the option of changing the address of the frame buffer .

The card is indeed bt848 based. Tom called STB today for a book on the card, from I could tell, they are quite willing to give out necessary info to interface with the card. The card uses the pci bus to move all it's data. It's not a bad card, and it comes with nice Wintel drivers as well. It takes coax or s-video in. Jamie Bowden Network Administrator, TBI Ltd.

The display is very nice there for anywhere from 1 to 26 seconds, and then my whole system freezes. I tried several tweaks to get rid of the freeze: changing PCI Bus Latencies (32 and 10), changing Window Sizes (640x480 and 320x240), building a -g kernel with DDB support hoping Ctrl-Alt-Esc would let me get to panic from ddb and dump a core (nope), running XFree 3.2A and then 3.2. BTW, this was at 1024x768 555 16bpp. The one thing I tried that did get rid of the freeze (albeit with a visible speed and image quality sacrifice) is to comment out the CAP_CONTINUOUS ioctl, and put a CAP_SINGLE inside the event loop. So it seems the freeze could might be related to letting the card/driver run auto-pilot. What's the best way to approach debugging a problem like this? I haven't done much kernel debugging, so digging through the driver code is the next thing that occurs to me. Any ideas on what might be going on or suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated.

Unfortunatly this kind of problem is very, very difficult to track down. I will see what I think of to help you out. Anyone else seeing this kind of problem?

It appears the freeze is related to disk I/O. When I uncommented to STATUS print, I found that TV would consistently freeze the system almost instantly after invocation. Only a few fields make it to the frame buffer. It even froze once in the middle of the second field. Experimenting, I found that if I commented out: *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages in syslog.conf leaving: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console in place then I was back to getting my 1-30 seconds of video before a freeze. With this setup, when I quit TV before a freeze occurred, the STATUS prints appeared on the console after TV was exited (see attached). Also attached is top of my verbose boot output.

Having never had disk problems with FreeBSD before, I guess I'll need to dig in and figure out the safest way to go about diagnosing and repairing the damage (boot block, disklabel, or something) before I can continue working with the Bt driver. All tips welcome.

My P100 has IDE drives and I must say that with my PPRO 200, adaptec + SCSI disk drives seems to be more stable with or without the Bt848 driver.
