I have two questions that, to date, I haven't been able to find an answer to without having to deal with another operating system, which I don't find acceptable :( Or, rather, one question requires changing operating system, the other I'm not even sure if its possible... Scenario: I'm just about to install a VidConf network for a client, to be used from home and the office to do tele-commuting. All the 'clients' machines are going to be running WinNT, but their file server at the office is a FreeBSD box w/ Samba. Q1. is there anything I can run on the FreeBSD box to provide them an equivalent to an ILS server, as is available for NT machines? They are all going to be using NetMeeting as their clients, but I want them to be able to connect to the central server to find out who else is online... Q2. is there any way of setting up a "proxy server"? I'm running FreeBSD at home as my gateway and main development machine. I have an NT machine up and running so that I'm not totally lost when I go do the install, and would like to do VidConf'ng to a friend in a remote location. The problem is that I need to go through my gateway, which is running NATd...is there any way of doing this? Someone way of saying "if a connection comes in on port XXX, redirect it to port XXX on internal IP YYY? Thanks... Marc G.

I don't know about solutions available for FreeBSD, although possible Xing make a linux mpeg encoder which would run under FreeBSD. The other alternatives for Windreck will cost you - there don't seem to be decent free mpeg video encoders available. I've got a Mpeg encoding subsystem (DVMPEG) for Windoze which I use on our video edit suite - it'll do mpeg 1 and 2 when I export from Adobe Premiere and does a very nice job. If you really can't find anywhere burn it to a CD and stick it in the mail and I'll convert it for you - at the moment our Net connection is too expensive to make downloading it an option. -- C. -- Craig Harding Head of Postproduction, Outpost Digital Media Ltd "I don't know about God, I just think we're handmade" - Polly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Mar 29 3:17: 5 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk (fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk [130.159.196.126]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D8F9014D1B for ; Mon, 29 Mar 1999 03:16:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from roger@cs.strath.ac.uk) Received: from cs.strath.ac.uk (scary.dmem.strath.ac.uk [130.159.202.5]) by fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA28319 Mon, 29 Mar 1999 12:15:50 +0100 (BST) Message-ID: <36FF60FC.2725D448@cs.strath.ac.uk> Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 12:16:12 +0100 From: Roger Hardiman Organization: Strathclyde University X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: crh@outpost.co.nz Cc: Christoph Kukulies , multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: off topic - video compression .avi -> .mov References: <199903290845.UAA26508@fep1-orange.clear.net.nz> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Craig, Chris, We did exactly this last week in our Telepresence Lab. (Well, Jen did actually) 1) we captured video using Windows with a Hauppauge TV card making an uncompressed AVI file (very very large) 2) we hacked xamin (which can play uncompressed AVI files) to output each frame as a PPM file. This needs even more disk space 3) the mpeg compressor can take in a directory full of ppm files, one file for each frame. So, all the code for this is in FreeBSD. It would be nice to hack the mpeg encoder to read uncompressed avi files directly. Hacking was performed by Jen Clark, jen@telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk I'll ask her to write up exactly what she did and post it here.

Because of various limitations, i could only manage to dump at CIF resolution, YUV422 and with a limited frame rate (disk throughput was around 3-4MB/s i think). I suppose with today's disks and 3.1 one might hope to reach some 7-8MB/s throughput on disk while capturing video, thus accomodating 640*480 YUV16 at 12.5 frames per second, or CIF at full frame rate. The reason you can't do this now is that as it is now the bt848 driver dumps everything to the same memory buffer so you risk overwriting an image while you are downloading it to disk. The meteor driver used multiple video buffers. luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 30 5: 9:32 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from assurance.rstcorp.com (unknown [206.29.49.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5554D15011 for ; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 05:09:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from vshah@rstcorp.com) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by assurance.rstcorp.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA04411 for ; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 08:10:11 -0500 Received: from sandbox.rstcorp.com(206.29.49.63) by assurance.rstcorp.com via smap (V2.0) id xma004407; Tue, 30 Mar 99 13:09:40 GMT Received: from jabberwock.rstcorp.com (jabberwock [206.29.49.98]) by sandbox.rstcorp.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA20086 for ; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 08:08:40 -0500 (EST) Received: (from vshah@localhost) by jabberwock.rstcorp.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) id IAA27047; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 08:08:40 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 08:08:40 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199903301308.IAA27047@jabberwock.rstcorp.com> From: "Viren R.

Flip through the pcm driver's list of supported sound card chipsets. I chose the turtle beach malibu, an isa card based on the cs4237 chipset.

I had mentioned the SoundBlaser PCI 128 (an ES 1370 card) to Viren, but the advantage of an ISA sound card is that all the old DOS games you have work properly. And as this is going to be a Dual FreeBSD and Win98 machine, this may be important to you.

Perhaps > someone running one of these cards can say for sure. The riva tnt is I have one of these cards (STB Velocity 4400) and use it with XFree86 3.3.3.1's SVGA server, no problems. It's not a mad speed-demon or anything, but it's more than stable and usable for me at 1280x1024x32 (I could go even larger at this depth in 16MB of video memory, but I don't like teeny weeny eye-strain-o-fonts. It's certainly correct that nothing supports the 3D features at all at this time. Heck, even for windows I have yet to see anything which purports to take advantage of the Riva TNT chipset to a degree close to what games are routinely doing with the Voodoo chipsets, and this is supposed to be a comparable architecture. We'll certainly not see its abilities exploited to the fullest by DirectX, that's for sure. However, for a really cheap 2D card with lots of RAM, I like it. It certainly beats the 4MB Matrox Millenium it replaced and it only set me back $89. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 30 5:52:33 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk (vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk [130.159.232.158]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 318F914E05 for ; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 05:52:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jen@vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk) Received: from vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA15477 for ; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 14:51:48 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from jen@vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk) Message-ID: <3700D6F4.59484E52@vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk> Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 14:51:48 +0100 From: Jennifer Clark X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: off topic - video compression .avi -> .mov Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I've been asked to contribute to this thread (by a colleague on this list) since I did exactly what is stated in the topic a few days ago. Here's how :-) My plan was to extract every frame of a soundless AVI file, perform some simple image processing on each frame, then compress the individual frames into a mpeg file. The first step prove to be tricky; I had initially hoped that xanim (from the graphics directory in ports) would have an option to output individual frames as ppm files, for example, but this did not appear to be the case. A bit of searching on the web, however, turned up a patch to xanim that allows you to do exactly this. You can download the patch from here: http://www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~jnweiger/mpeg/mpeg.html It says the patch is for xanim 2.70.64, but it seemed to work ok on 2.70.7.0. There is also a patch for extracting audio on this page, although I have not used it. Using the patched xanim, I extracted all the individual frames as ppm files, which I further processed with the NetPBM package, also in /usr/ports/graphics. The processing was fairly simple; each frame was cropped, gamma corrected, sharpened, then scaled to an appropriate size. I only came across one problem in this, that the netpbm program pnmnlfilt, which can be used as a sharpening filter, bombed out with a floating point exception. The problem was traced to the part of the code which sets up the filter; essentially, it would attempt to set up a filter to cope with images of greater than 8 bits per colour component per pixel depth, which would result in it trying to use scaled integers greater than INT_MAX or less than INT_MIN. A modification to only allow images with a maximum of 8 bits per colour component fixed the problem. I have a patch available for this if anyone wishes it. Once I had batch processed all the individual frames with netpbm, I used the program mpeg2encode from ports/graphics/mpeg2codec to convert all the frames into an mpeg 1 movie. The scripts necessary to do this appear complex, but using the examples in /usr/X11R6/share/mpeg2/ as templates makes the exercise fairly trivial. While I have not compressed audio into an mpeg video stream before, this does appear possible, using /ports/graphics/mplex and /ports/audio/mpegaudio. If anyone has any more questions on this, please email me directly as I am not currently subscribed to this mailing list. -- Jennifer Clark http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk http://www.crmjewellery.co.uk http://www.furniturenet.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 30 7:10:50 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from thelab.hub.org (nat192.236.mpoweredpc.net [142.177.192.236]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F1E0614F80 for ; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 07:10:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) Received: from localhost (scrappy@localhost) by thelab.hub.org (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id LAA65401; Tue, 30 Mar 1999 11:09:58 -0400 (AST) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) X-Authentication-Warning: thelab.hub.org: scrappy owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 11:09:58 -0400 (AST) From: The Hermit Hacker To: John Preisler Cc: "Viren R.

The riva tnt is I originally had my RivaTNT AGP card in my FreeBSD machine, and X ran without any problems...only reason I switched machines around is for a Video Conferencing project I'm working on, else it would still be over there..

CSN is Card Select Number, the identifier assigned to the card by the PnP probe routine basing on Vendor ID and Serial number (btw it means that in cases like yours, where the serial number is apparently hardwired to all ones, you can't have two cards of the same kind on one machine! -- eh, these cheap designs....) To come to your problem: your BIOS is not assigning resources to the PnP devices, probably because you specified in the BIOS configuration that you have a PnP aware OS. Either change the setting to 'non pnp aware' or manually assign them with boot -c and "pnp 1 0 os enable ..." as documented in the pnp(4) manpage. I'd go for the bios solution first, if it works you don't have to guess irqs and drqs after that, remember that your pnp card will be detected as unit #1 so you'll have to make symlinks in /dev/dsp->/dev/dsp1 etc. cheers luigi > Hi > > I have an Intel dual-CPU m/board with sound on board.

TNT2 > is going to be worth waiting for though... I think I missed the initial discussion here, but... If you're looking for hardware accelerated 3D support on FreeBSD, see: http://www.xig.com/Pages/3D%20AX%20Page.html And more specifically: http://www.xig.com/Pages/PRMar99ES.html I'm supposed to be seeing their EV2 release soon, which works on FreeBSD 3.1. I've currently got a Number9 Revolution IV 32M card (it was reasonably cheap, is supported). But I'm not running Windows at all and I'm not thinking about gaming with this card (I just want hardware accelerated OpenGL on FreeBSD). The last time I asked (several months ago), Xi was still trying to get the necessary information from vendors to support additional chipsets.

Eg I guess what I'm really asking is whether or not Direct 3D gives you gamers the same access to per-pixel MIP mapping, tri-linear filtering, fog, transparency and other sorts of features that the 3DFX provides. Those are often what I first notice in a game which is "obviously running on the 3DFX" and what still seems to be lacking from games which use the somewhat more generic Direct3D API.

The video capture card and camera are working well and I am able to use them with vic. Next, I need a sound card for use with vat. I am now trying to figure out which sound card I should buy. After a little bit of research (and following the emails on video & sound cards on this list for a few days) it seems to me that a card with the CS4235, CS4236, or CS4237 chipset will be best for me. I think this chipset is used in the cards manufactured by AcerOpen. However, I need to get some pricing information on these cards to see if they are within my range. Can someone suggest some sound cards that are using this chipset along with a web site where I can obtain prices? Thanks!

Be careful how far you generalise. If you have an AMD K6-2 (or -III) you will get a much better time from a Voodoo2 because of the much better 3DNow support in the driver. Even this piece of knowledge is transient; it seems that the Voodoo3 drivers are not so 3DNow aware, and the TNT2 kicks its arse.

Of course it took them years to catch up, and there was no point doing it since OpenGL was just fine as it was. But, it's here now, and I wager that if Id switched from OpenGL to Direct3D, OpenGL would instantly die. Bummer and all that, but I'll take money on it. As to whether Direct3D works, I have a Voodoo2 and a Matrox G200 in the same box. Half Life looks wonderful on the G200 (DirectX) and wonderful on the Voodoo2 (glide), to the point where I can't tell which is which without cheating (the Voodoo2 is a little darker by default). So expect Direct3D to dispose of glide and OpenGL like so many other things that Microsoft has steamrolled over. It will make your consumer purchases easier, and we all want that, right? ;-) Stephen.

The result is amazingly good for Windoze games, but it isn't even detected under FreeBSD. The manual claims there is hardware SoundBlaster Pro support, and under Windoze the usual ports and IRQ are used. Does anybody know how to activate this mode under FreeBSD?

I have a Aztec Sound Galaxy NX Pro 16 card. I was using just SB Pro emulation, but when I added my parallel port ZIP drive, I got noise every time I accessed the ZIP. This is because the NX Pro 16 contains a Disney Sound Source / COVOX Emulator which sits on a 'virtual prallel port'. So, when you access the parallel port, you get noise. It also interfeared with the ppbus PnP probing (preventing ppbus from reporting my HP Deskjet 660 printer). I fixed the noise and the ppbus probe problems by doing the following a) on the card, ensure the 'virtual parallel port' is set to 0x278. b) I setup the following kernel config.

I'm sorry, but you could as well forget it. The SB Pro supports only 8bit, 22kHz stereo (and 44kHz mono). That's not really the quality you'd want for good music, I guess. If you buy a soundcard and want decent SB compatibility, be sure that it is hardware compatible with at least an SB16. That will also save your good old DOS games. ;-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) "In jedem Stück Kohle wartet ein Diamant auf seine Geburt" (Terry Pratchett) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Apr 4 8:46:45 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from gate.ascend.co.jp (gate.ascend.co.jp [202.246.11.253]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 02FF714F87 for ; Sun, 4 Apr 1999 08:46:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mshindo@ascend.co.jp) Received: from home.ascend.co.jp (home.ascend.co.jp [202.246.11.1]) by gate.ascend.co.jp (8.9.1a/3.7W/12/06/98) with ESMTP id AAA25566; Mon, 5 Apr 1999 00:44:08 +0900 (JST) Received: from aries.ascend.co.jp (aries.ascend.co.jp [202.246.11.64]) by home.ascend.co.jp (8.8.8/3.7W/12/07/98) with ESMTP id AAA07041; Mon, 5 Apr 1999 00:44:08 +0900 (JST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by aries.ascend.co.jp (8.8.8/3.7W/12/07/98) with ESMTP id AAA12064; Mon, 5 Apr 1999 00:44:07 +0900 (JST) To: luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it Cc: dkelly@HiWAAY.net, freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Luigi's driver, AOpen AW37, and me.

I wished I could have bought a CS4326/4327-based card but this was the only card I could find that seemed to be closest to CS4236/4237. :-) The card is detected by the kernel and it plays a sound but with tremendous amount of noise. This would be exactly the same as what David is experiencing. Is there any progress as to fix this problem? Given this situation, what is most likely the cause of this problem? It would be great if anyone gives me a hint so that I can start tracking down the problem by reading a data sheet of CS4235.

How would I convert that to .mp3? Use ports/audio/sox. The commandline switches are a mess but .cdr type of sourcefile should work. Actually the data is unsigned 16-bit word, two channels and 44100 Khz sampling rate. I can be mistaken btw. Convert the source files to M$ wav format (sox says something about bad header or so, don't pay attention), then again use software from ports/audio to compress actual wav files.

Believe others have reported the -Pro worked. I have the not-Pro. The Pro uses the CS4237 while mine uses a CX4235-XQ3 EP (this is the first time I bothered to read the exact numbers off the chip). The reason I was able just now to read the numbers directly off the chip is the AOpen card is out, a $14 Yamaha 714 card is in, and FreeBSD now makes recognizable noises. But when not making those noises it cranks out static from internal noises in the cheap card and computer power supply. Have cleaned up things here so I don't have my printed copies of the Crystal Semiconductor manuals handy where my notes are. Suspected several things. One is a calibration proceedure spec'ed by CS. At first I thought the PCM driver didn't implement it. Then I found code resembling what was spec'ed, almost. I don't believe it was doing what the CS book said needed done even if it was really trying to calibrate rather then the quickie no-calibrate initialization. I hacked in a replacement, which did no good either. Another thing I worried about is whether bytes were being written in the right order. Or the CODEC on the card was not initialized correctly. Didn't seem to matter much if files were pushed thru /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, they both sounded the same. Don't remember if I had a mic to try "cat < /dev/audio > /dev/audio". With that in mind my next planned attack was to take a signal generator and capture a known sine and square wave input, and examine the raw data captured. Also to output known sine and square wave output and view on my DSO. For several reasons, never got around to it. Not the least of the reasons is this place is too much of a mess to get the DSO and signal generators near the computer. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Since the playbacked sound was too weak, I had believed that it didn't play anything. Now I know that it's playedback as expected. But I'm still experiencing an unacceptable level of noise in the sound. The .au file I used shouldn't have any format problem since it's playbacked normally on another machine with SoundBlaster16 installed. I appreciate if anyone who has a working CS4236 or CS4237 card gives me the result of pnpinfo command. I would like to compare it with mine.

As oppose to what I wrote above, the problem was the .au file format. The file I used for the playback is http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/computing/mail/metamail/email-valentine.au but this .au file doesn't seem to have a proper .au header. % file email-valentine.au email-valentine.au: data whereas proper .au file should give me, for example, % file Porche.au Porche.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 8-bit ISDN u-law, mono, 8000 Hz BUT, please note that email-valentine.au was able to be playedback by SoundBlaster16 properly. 423X driver should be able to do the same thing as SB16.

They input/output raw digital samples, not in the .au format. dspW uses a wide (16 bit?) sample size and plain old dsp does 8 bit. Even samples are one channel, odd are the other channel.

I have found the AW300, but this card is PCI and use the ESS Maestro-2 PCI audio processor. Is it possible to use it or an other PCI AOpen card : http://www.aopenusa.com/products/sound/default.htm ? Do you know where I can buy a AW37 (Eventually by Internet) ? Is there somebody which use this card with a Clavinova keyboard for midi input and audio output ?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've got an A-Trend "ATC-6631D Pnp 3D" sound card. This card is nothing much more than a Yamaha YMF719E-S chip. I'm using the pcm driver with FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE and there's a couple of things I've noticed that are really odd/annoying. Firstly, as I'm using 3.0-RELEASE I had to modify the code a bit to detect the card, but the changes are about identical to what's gone into -current lately so that's reassuring. (just changes to recognise the Vendor/Serial number really) (except mine has more printf junk in it, because I didn't know what I was doing!) The problems I'm getting are with the mixer settings, rplayd gives me this warning whenever I start it up : rplayd: rplay_audio_get_volume: pcm mixer device not installed The entries in /dev look like this : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 8 02:07 audio -> audio1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 20 Apr 8 02:07 audio1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 4 Apr 8 02:07 dsp -> dsp1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 Apr 8 02:09 dsp1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5 Apr 8 02:07 dspW -> dspW1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 21 Apr 8 02:07 dspW1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 8 02:07 mixer -> mixer1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 16 Apr 8 02:07 mixer1 Which seem okay. Also, as this machine is a dual boot to Windows I can tell you that no matter what one does to the card in FreeBSD it only ever gets out about 50% the volume that the Windows driver manages on plain audio. Here's what running mixer gets me : root@snuggly# mixer Mixer synth is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 64:64 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 32:32 Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mix is currently set to 0:0 Mixer igain is currently set to 37:37 root@snuggly So, the question's are ... 1) How on earth can I get the mixer to work properly ? 2) How can I get the Voxware driver to work for this chipset, I think it's probably possible, but using pnp at the same time makes it somewhat harder to get anywhere. 3) Has anyone got a similar card to use soundblaster mode at all ? 4) Anyone got a datasheet on this chipset... There's most of the other YMFXXXX chipset datasheets available here : ftp://ftp.yamahayst.com/pub/Fax_Back_Doc/Sound/ ..b ut nothing specifically for the 719, and I've got too slow a link to get the 715 sheet and see if it mentions anything at all! I'm perfectly prepared to make a lot of changes to the code if need be (well, by that, I mean I'm prepared to spend a a few hours if I knew what to do that is). Finally, here's what the card think's about itself at boot time.

Has DMA code changed? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, Several people (including Luigi) have reported that video capture with the bt848 driver is not working right since they upgraded from 2.2.6 or 2.2.8 to 3.1-release Luigi and I noticed the problem in VIC (lots of horizontal lines in the image) and others have rpeorted FXTV problems. It looks like a DMA problem. The DMA is either timing out or the bus mastering is failing or the DMA transfer data is getting corrupted. Nothing has changed in the bt848 driver in this area since 2.2.x and I tested with the vic from 2.2.6 a.out format pkg_add. It looks like something has changed in the kernel's PCI bus setup code. Does anyone know what is different in the 3.x kernel (compared to the 2.2.x kernel) which could be causing this corruption. HELP!

The driver has this code which enables the Bus Mastering. It was added back in the days of 3.0-current (about 12 months ago) when the driver was common to 2.2.x and 3.x. That is why there is a #if around the code. #if __FreeBSD__ > 2 fun = pci_conf_read(tag, PCI_COMMAND_STATUS_REG); pci_conf_write(tag, PCI_COMMAND_STATUS_REG, fun | 4); #endif Any other suggestions I can check?

The old one that used to be the default in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound, or perhaps a newer version, this appears to be VoxWare 2.9 on 3.0-Release. [I thought we had 3.5-alpha integrated ?

Tried that with the old driver, but I always end up getting a lot of things like this : /kernel: How strange... mss_intr with no reason! and not much in the way of working sound, well, it works, sometimes, but then other times it stops halfway through playing a sound, or loops, or goes all crackly, I think I've even been lucky enough to cause a panic, after some really bad screwups! =) > > 4) Anyone got a datasheet on this chipset... > > not that i know of. I've emailed the guy who maintains the documentation at yamaha to see if I can get one. Could be handy, although I'd not rate my chances of getting it to work even with the datasheet very highly either though =) Unless I know how to run the probe routines at any other time than boot, otherwise testing is such a monumental pain!

That is why there is a #if around the code. Actually the #if is unnecessary, it only saves you the pci_conf_read and pci_conf_write, which are small potatoes in an attach routine.

Unless you're trying to maintain that and don't know to look in pcireg.h for the bit definitions. Magic numbers BAD! Other than that, I have no help to offer. Do you know for sure where it dies?

The DMA transfers continue, but there is corruption. There is nothing to add to the driver. The bt848 does all the mastering itself. It takes control of the bus and does the transfer all by itself, for every video frame received.

Does "fxtv -disableDirectV" seem to work? I'll try -disableDirectV asap. Switching between double-size / single-size always does this, as does quitting fxtv, and it occasionally happens randomly.

Exactly. While I'm certainly glad Luigi's driver does exist (without it, I'd never have gotten my friend's Ensoniq PCI sound hardware to work at all, for instance), the loss of MIDI (and other) functionality brought about by a premature removal of Voxware would be A Very Bad Thing, IMHO. -- Conrad Sabatier There are two types of people in this world, good and bad.

An evident case of lack of motivation :) paid work : dull but pays good money. free work : interesting, no money. Makes it a tricky choice when the electricity bills arrive, although I know which I'd prefer to be doing, I don't think it's just the motivation, it's a matter of having enough time to do it. If work's paid by the hour it costs money to do this. If more documentation was available it would be easier to get involved as well, this applies to everyone from the driver writers to the chipset manufacturors. (I never thought I'd be saying that about anything, but it's true, you can't expect people to just jump into the driver and know how to make the changes needed to get it to work for card xyz) Is there more documentation, and details of what needs work soonest for pcm, and who's making the changes ?

That's a thought. Though on my system here, I also can't get max frames per second (NTSC = 30fps) on a zoomed TV window in XImages mode, and I don't notice any loss in X server responsiveness with fxtv trying as hard as it can. XFree seems to handle this load gracefully, blocking fxtv when it's got enough images in the queue. Of course this is just a specific instance which doesn't prove it true in general.

There are two design issues that make it impractical from an X app |standpoint. | |First (as you mentioned), there isn't a decent event-driven way to keep an |exposed region definition up-to-date with X (polling the X server's |complete window list every 10th of a second doesn't qualify :-); it isn't |practical and wouldn't work solve it completely anyway). | |Second, X dispatching to clients is asynchronous so by the time you get the |heretofore unknown "here's-your-exposed-region-definition" event, that |region definition has already changed, and starting capture with that |region definition may stomp an occluded window. | |Likely a similar issue exists with MSWin as the Hauppauge software forces a |refresh of the entire screen just about everytime anything window-event |related happens anywhere on the screen, on the off-chance something got |stomped by the direct framebuffer writes. | |As far as purely technical issues for using clipping, back when I worked |with Amancio's clipping in Oct 97, there were a few bugs related to the |clipping.

User pushes the TV window |behind another window. Milliseconds later, X tells us this happened, but |by this time we've scribbled all over the occluding window with direct |video. The occluding window may have already updated itself. | |Other examples: moving the window around the screen. | | |How do you solve it ? | |Well, there isn't a works-always solution without locking the X server in |exclusive mode (the way DGA was intended to be used). But this is too |limiting. Who wants a TV app where you have to chose between direct video |and being able to mess with other clients simultanously. | |So what Fxtv does is just run in non-exclusive mode and force an expose on |the region of the display occupied by the TV window whenever we stop |capturing in direct video mode. This forces surrounding windows (the root |window, other clients that might have gotten popped on top and stomped, |etc.) to update themselves whenever we move the TV window or the TV window |changes between on-top and underneath-something. This works pretty well. | |But it isn't guarenteed to work for everything. If while direct video is |on, an X client is grabbing bits off the frame buffer (e.g. snapshotting a |window, or doing fast bitblt scrolling, etc.), it can end up propagating |this video trash to other areas of the screen or to pixmaps in memory where |the forced-expose doesn't clean it up. | |I haven't seen leftover TV trash anywhere in months.

[ ... deleted quoted text ... ] Thanks, however I understand the problem and I have an application here that works. If fxtv can handle the popping up of the file menu and handle the transition from direct video to XImage updates (which involves restarting the capture) without the dma clobbering the file menu, then it can be made to handle clipping IMHO. I tried keeping an up-to-date child-of-root-window stack by just processing events from the root window. There seems to be some missing event information around the time when the window manager re-parents the top level window. Since direct video requires a local X server, I found that querying the window tree (when the application sees an event which possibly affects stacking or occlusion) is quick enough to work out the clip array and restart the video capture with that. The forced refresh by mapping and unmapping a window over the top still seems to be required because I can't find a way of getting the capture to stop before the X server copies the area to the relocated window. FWIW, fxtv renders X unusable on my system in full PAL size when I pop up the file menu and the application changes to XImage mode. If I halve the size, then I can actually get to the quit button. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Apr 12 17:58:22 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from pluto.ipass.net (pluto.ipass.net [198.79.53.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2EB8714CFD for ; Mon, 12 Apr 1999 17:58:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rhh@ipass.net) Received: from stealth.ipass.net.

The premise here is the kicker we can't guarentee because the X server makes no claims toward synronicity or even event delivery order, both of which are required to avoid DMA stomping on occlusion.

I have SubstructureNotify enabled on the root window, so I see ConfigureNotify events as any top-level window is moved. I agree that you don't get a VisibilityNotify event to the TV window when going from partially obscured to partially obscured, but I don't use that. I have enough information to work out firstly how much of the TV window is visible due to clipping by it's own parents (my TV window is scrollable), and secondly which areas are obscured by top-level windows. The clipping by the parent windows gives at most 4 clip rectangles, plus one clip rectangle per top-level window that is above and overlapping. Then if there are more than 100 clip rectangles, you have to join the ones that are closest together. > I'm currently sided against polling the stacking order. If we don't get an > event for all cases, kicking us to go check the stacking order, we > shouldn't go eating CPU polling it all the time. In my case, it is only event based. The trick is to try to compress the number of events that would have you go query the tree. Starting a short timer and resetting it with each event that hints at the requirement for a query tree seems to work. As soon as there is one change to the clips already set, the capture is stopped and restarted when the timer times out. I'm still playing with the timer value. > |FWIW, fxtv renders X unusable on my system in full PAL size when I > |pop up the file menu and the application changes to XImage mode.

I'm not sure what the solution to that is. In my application, I only allow the TV display when direct video is available because the capture looks awful using any other mode, and particularly bad if PseudoColor is the only visual available. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Apr 12 21:39: 7 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 5BB8A150AC for ; Mon, 12 Apr 1999 21:38:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id EAA07149; Tue, 13 Apr 1999 04:19:39 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199904130219.EAA07149@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: Bt848 corruption since upgrading to 3.1.

I can't try this at home (P133) because of the notorious problem i am having with the driver not reporting the 'full frame' interrupt because of what i suspect to be a dma overrun. i suspect in your case the whole thing might work with no reduction of responsiveness just for the above: the bt848 does not have enough memory bandwidth, the dma overruns and the driver does not report new frames until the XServer is done (more or less) and the bus is less loaded. On a fast system (and perhaps the video card on AGP) the bt848 has more bandwidth to proceed and bring the server to its knees. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .

Can somebody attest to the quality of the OSS drivers from 4-front? Are they worth getting?

To use serial driver for MIDI, your MIDI tools/instruments must have MINI-DIN8pin terminal called "HOST" or "COMPUTER". ((( You can't use serial-MIDI with old MIDI terminal(DIN-5pin), except your machine can set serial baud rate to 31250bps and prepare exclusive circuit to communicate Dsub-25(9) and Din-5. ))) The pin connections of serial cable for MIDI are like below ... PC D-Sub9(25) MIDI(Host or Computer) MINI-DIN8 RTS 7(4) -------- 2 HSKi CTS 8(5) -------- 1 HSKo TxD 3(2) -------- 5 RxD GND 5(7) -------- 4 GND RxD 2(3) -------- 3 TxD If you have Mac's serial cable(straight) and PC's one (and you don't mind these cables never to be used for original way), you can easily compose the serial cable for MIDI using these two cables. ----- Tsuyoshi Iguchi (zinnia@jan.ne.jp) http://www.eie.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~a95516/zinnia/index.shtml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Apr 13 22:48:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from rina.naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp (rina.naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp [133.34.17.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6B98414F51; Tue, 13 Apr 1999 22:48:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tanimura@naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp) Received: from rina.naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by rina.naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp (8.9.3/3.7W-Naklab-2.1-19981120) with ESMTP id OAA85232; Wed, 14 Apr 1999 14:46:06 +0900 (JST) Message-Id: <199904140546.OAA85232@rina.naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp> To: nox@jelal.kn-bremen.de Cc: zinnia@jan.ne.jp, freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org, freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Cc: Seigo TANIMURA Subject: Re: Call for Review: Voxware midi driver for serial ports From: Seigo TANIMURA In-Reply-To: Your message of "Wed, 14 Apr 1999 04:19:16 +0200" References: <19990414041916.A64069@saturn.kn-bremen.de> X-Mailer: Mew version 1.70 on Emacs 19.34.1 / Mule 2.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 14:46:06 +0900 Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, 14 Apr 1999 04:19:16 +0200, Juergen Lock said: nox> Hey that sounds great :) what is needed in terms of hardware, i mean you nox> don't just make a cable that connects the midi to the rs232 lines right? >> >> >> Since I had Roland SC-88, I purchased a serial port cable by Roland at a local PC shop. >> Please have a look at http://www.edirol.com/music_equipment/roland_accessories/cable.html. >> It costed around 1,500 yens or 22 DM, without the driver for Windows 95. >> >> I have no idea for midi modules by the manufacturers other than Roland, sorry for that. >> Could you give us some clues, Tsuyoshi-san? nox> Hmm, the cable on that page looks like for a MAC serial port to me... nox> Is there something for the good old 5-pin DIN MIDI sockets, the ones nox> that use a 20 mA (i think) current loop? I tried serching 'serial' and 'midi', to find some resources... We have at least one product to convert a serial port to a midi port and vice versa: http://www.midi-classics.com/p2615.htm has one midi output and one input, although our driver is not capable to receive midi signal yet.

Is there someone who wants to review them before I commit them to -current? Roger? The clipping doesn't handle clip rectangles aligned with the right edge, nor does it handle many (often simple) combinations of clip rectangles. I have fixes for these. The clipping doesn't handle the number of rows in the interlaced mode - it always uses the number of rows in the odd/even modes. This makes the clipping coarser than it needs to be. I haven't fixed this. Should I? The clipping code is awfully confusing to me. The X coordinates are rows, not columns. I might be in the other hemisphere (upside down), drive on the other side of the road, but on what planet are X coordinates vertical??!

The driver does not have sufficient information, in the most general case of multiple processes writing to it, of which one should be given access to the card. I put the warning msg in the kernel but it just means that you are using the device in the wrong way, not that it can cope with it. This said, the buzz could come because you don;t know which process is writing what to the device -- it might well be that your device is expecting ULAW data all of a sudden it gets a burst of stereo S16 data which are almost sure to cause high volume output -- all of this happens before the device can realize the existence of multiple unsynchronized writers. > P.S.

BTW the driver does not know how many processes are using it: even if it would block multiple open() (and it does not, because it is pointless) when a process forks you end up with two processes with a valid handle for the device. Worse, when processes call close(), only the last call is propagated to the driver. And if this was not enough, the audio driver (in the voxware model, which i had to replicate) has multiple device entries (i.e. minor numbers) accessing the same hardware. cheers luigi > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Wed Apr 14 11:47:50 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from anch01.customcpu.com (anch01.customcpu.com [198.70.210.44]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ACCE4158FB for ; Wed, 14 Apr 1999 11:47:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from al7oj@customcpu.com) Received: from mail.customcpu.com ([207.14.79.57]) by anch01.customcpu.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-59598U2500L250S0V35) with SMTP id com for ; Wed, 14 Apr 1999 10:45:30 -0800 From: al7oj@customcpu.com Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 10:39:23 -0800 To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: No audio with FreeBSD3.0-R X-Mailer: MR/2 Internet Cruiser Edition for OS/2 v1.60 b60 Message-ID: <19990414184530214.AAA204@anch01.customcpu.com@mail.customcpu.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have been trying for some time to get audio working.

I was just not able to test by myself... Using Portman PC/S, you will have something like this: 38.4kbps 31.25kbps PC ---------- Portman PC/S ----------- Midi Module Portman Midi Serial Cable Cable Portman transforms the singal bitrate and the electrical characteristics. Portman has its own cable contained in the product. Since I do not have a Portman now, I am not convinced whether we can drive it using our driver or not. Things will be tough if Portman cooks the signal from and/or to PC. This seems more likely for the multi-port midi-serial interfaces, especially the ones capable to select the {in,out}out ports by the PC. For the modules with serial interfaces(most modern ones like Roland SC-88 have): 38.4kbps PC ----------------------------- Midi Module Serial Cable for the Module I got to play sequences successfully under the situation shown above. I used SC-88, with a 'computer port'. It accepts the bitrates of both 31.25kbps and 38.4kbps, transforming the signal internally. You can plug some other midi modules and instruments to the module connected to the PC. In this case the module also acts as a midi interface.

Now we are looking for an audio card adequate to our goals. Once discarded the SoundBlasters, and after suffering mixer problems (low output volume) with a Yamaha YMF719-based card, we got a CS4235-based card (Genius SoundMaster). The chip on the Genius card is a "CX4235-XQ3 EP"; however, it identifies itself as a 4236: CSN 1 Vendor ID: CSC4236 [0x3642630e] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: @@@0000 [0x00000000] mss_attach 1 at 0x530 irq 5 dma 1:3 flags 0x13 The problems I have found are serious: first, the record level is ridiculously low: even after setting the "mic" device level to 100 (the "igain" device does not have any effect; why?), and literally shouting to the microphone, the digitalized input signal has a very, very low level. Second, the input signal has a high DC component. When used from Windows (ugh), the audio card works fine, and the record level is normal. When I boot Windows (ugh), restart, and then boot FreeBSD, the record level continues low, but the DC component is gone. The reason must be that the Windows' audio driver initializes the card correctly, but the FreeBSD's pcm driver does not :-( I am pretty sure that Luigi has some ideas about these problems ;-) -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | mailto:jmas@es.FreeBSD.ORG Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-944858139 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go ahead... make my day." - H.

You need to fetch the data sheets of the 4235, compare them with the 4236, and find out the differences. The mixer support is very primitive in the PCM driver, and i tried only to support the common subset of the 4232, 4236, opti931 because that was what i had at the time i wrote the driver. Basically all these three codecs can control most of the mixer with a single set of registers. Extended functions (and probably some vital ones as in your case DC suppression and mic volume control) are usually done with an additional set of registers. Supporting them is reasonably simple, if someone has the time to look at a clean way to do this everybody would be happy... luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .

OK, I will try to get the 4236 data sheets... I examined the ad1848.c file and it is clearly written ;-), so I can try to make some modifications. But, in any case, could you recommend an audio card (or chipset)? All we want is good quality, 16 bits, 16 KHz full-duplex.

Randall ----- Forwarded message from Scott Donovan ----- Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 12:36:41 +1000 From: Scott Donovan Subject: BT848/winTV/Teletext/video4linux etc. Hi folks, I wonder if someone could give me a few pointers. I recently installed a Hauppauge wintv card in my 3.1-current machine, after a little searching in the mailing lists I added the various controllers (additional to the bt848 driver) that was required. I grabbed the latest copy of FXTV and it worked a treat, only real pest was having to modify the bt848 kernel driver to allow me to use a standard set of Australian Frequencies, which also now works wonderfully. Although all this was not a process for a total FreeBSD novice.. However after all this I have a few questions: 1. Does anyone know of a teletext program that works with the bt848 driver ? 2. Given that it is likely there may be other chipset drivers for FreeBSD has anyone thought of pulling together a standard API etc (ala video4linux). 3. Is there anyway that we can leverage the stack of code currently out there for video4linux? (XawTV,Teletext,WMTV and heaps of others) Specific App/Driver stuff (perhaps better directed to the authors, but added here for completeness) 4. Given that the latest bt848 driver appears to have the appropriate defines to cope with the wintv IR remote, will that support be included in fxtv? 5. Can a "Frequency Set" be included for australia (to add to nabcst etc) to the existing bt848 distribution (saves me patching each time I get the latest driver)? 6. Could the bt848 frequency set information be dynamically included during boot time (ala pnp style commands)? Any comments etc greatly appreciated. Cheers, Scott D.

Does anyone know of a teletext program that works with the bt848 driver ? Hmm. Seems like Luigi wrote one of these.

You might drop him some mail (Luigi Rizzo ), though he'll probably catch your post now that it's on -multimedia. |2.

I'm sure a number of folks have, but I think we only have support for two now (is the meteor still supported?). So the desire never really reached critical mass. The driver folks (Amancio, Roger, et. all) have worked toward standarization in the driver interface, but a higher-level library interface would be useful to hide the nuts-and-bolts and make it easier to cook TV/capture apps. Maybe we should start tossing around ideas for a template API (?) |4.

I think we should standarise on the newer Video4Linux Version 2 API. Unlike classic V4L, this API has a userland library so you do not need to clone all the ioctls exactly. And the author is quite happy to rename it to something like Video4Unix (ie drop the linux part) > I don't know anything about this functionality. Does the driver now pass > back keys from the remote, or how does this work exactly? There is sample code for the Remote Control on the bt848 ftp site ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848 > (This is another area where that C lib layer would be useful.

This is for 3.1 and 4.x users. Have a look in ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/teletext There is a replacement bt848 driver (brktree_reg.h and brooktree848.c) use these to replace the existing files in /sys/pci There is also a Java Teletext viewer. Now I got this to run on Win95, but my Netscape 4.04 browser failed to run run the Java. I'm trying a newer Java run-time right now. Untar the Java teletext viewer. In it you will also find vbidecode-1.0 Apply the patch to it (as specified int he README) and make vbidecode. This reads raw data from /dev/vbi and generates .vtx files. 1 file per teletext page. The java viewer then reads the VTX files. NOTES: when you run vbidecode, you must have subdirectories created for vbidecode to save the pages into run vbidecode -v to see the titles of your teletext stations. in the UK I have to do this mkdir ceefax mkdir 4-text mkdir vh-1 ./vbidecode and it saves BBC ceefax pages into ./ceefax and vh-1 pages into ./vh1 To tune into the TV station, use the standard fxtv, but RESIZE the window so it contains an interlaced screen (ie the height > 300 pixels) good luck. please try it. bye roger p.s.

If CTS is off when the driver is about to sending, transfer is expected to be disabled by hardware.

Yes, in the Voxware world, the way to test whether the soundcard supported an audio format was to try to activate it, and verify that the return value of the ioctl matched what you passed in. If it didn't, then it wasn't supported. This is why Fxtv does this check for these sound driver ioctls: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT SOUND_PCM_WRITE_CHANNELS SOUND_PCM_WRITE_RATE It looks like this is just a small compatibility wrinkle in Luigi's drivers that hopefully is easy to smooth out. Given that the change you described below got it working, then SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT is the only one of the four ioctl's not returning the requested value if the request succeeds (for the format you're trying to establish at least). (Ccing Luigi in case he missed your post.) Randall Andre Albsmeier: |I am using fxtv-0.48 together with an AWE32 soundcard and Luigi's snd |code (pcm1).

If anyone has gotten it to work could you help me? The main problem, my ESS1869 card seems to have stopped working. I have an old kernel(From 3.0 I beleive) and when I use it the sound card works perfectly. However, with my new kernels(3.1) the sound card seems to skip, it plays for a second or two, then skips for a second or two, perhaps even three. I need the new kernels as they have more options which I need, but I would like sound. Also, the source of the original kernel from 3.0 which works was lost in an rm accident, so my current configuration could be the problem. Thanks, if you need any more information just ask. It's very odd as it has always worked until 3.1(perhaps after, I didn't upgrade to 3.1 for a bit of time). Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I've never had this problem, but a number of others on the list have (Tomi Vainio, Michael Petry, Igor Nikolaev). The binding factor generally seems to be Matrox 8Meg cards running at 32bpp at desktop sizes larger than 1024x768. If this is your case too, try replacing this line in tvcapture.c: video.addr = x->base_addr + (g.y * x->pitch + g.x) * Bpp; with this (for 1280x1024): video.addr = x->base_addr + (g.y * x->pitch + g.x + 256) * Bpp or this (for 1600x1200): video.addr = x->base_addr + (g.y * x->pitch + g.x + 640) * Bpp; From previous investigation, it appears this is a bug in XFree86 where it returns an incorrect base address frame buffer for the frame buffer. Hope this helps. Randall Michael G. Petry: |A couple of us with Matrox cardsan 8meg have seen a strange shifting of |the video image when running fxtv.

The driver currently supports 3410/3415 audio chips but not the original 3400C chip. You can get audio on the old 3400C chips by a) booting Windows, running the Hauppauge Windows software b) doing a soft reboot into FreeBSD. The MSP3400C chip retains it settings. The -current and -stable driver resets all MSP34xx chips, erasing any Windows settings. The new driver can block the MSP34xx reset by adding the following to your kernel config options BKTR_NO_MSP_RESET A new driver is available from the Bt848 pages at the Telepresence Group web site http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 If you want to try it, do the following 1) edit your kernel config. change this line device bktr0 to this device bktr0 options BKTR_NO_MSP_RESET You will need to run 'config xxxx' too. 2) goto http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 Look for the Beta Test drivers section and follow the link for the beta driver for freebsd 3.1 or 3.x-stable or 4.x-current 3) download the .c and .h files and replace the corresponding files in your kernel source tree. (/sys/pci and /sys/i386/include) 4) rebuild your kernel and of you go.

The problem with Yuri's card, and the MSP3400c card we had in our lab once was that the driver has NO support for the 3400c chip (only for the 3410/3415 chips). So, you get no audio at all on the Hauppauge cards. The only workaround (unless the driver gets written for the 3400c) is to boot Windows first, run the Windows TV software to set up the MSP3400C and then reboot. The current bt848 driver always resets all 34xx chips at boot time. This is no good if you want to preserve Windows's hardware initialisation.

It won't beat nicam, but... Or is the card in question different than the newer Hauppauges ? Mine at least, Hge WinTV 419 (PAL stuff), has mono sound on the FM-radio mux input when in TV mode. Local bcasts are PAL B/G with FM-mono and NICAM stereo, if that makes any difference. Of course it's silly to not to use the msp, but there is one case where it's beneficial to remember the tuner audio (even with partially fixed msp-initialization); during multilingual programmes each of the (3) channels might have different stuff.

The extra signals are the result of the card reporting errors that are silently handled by the driver. Setting the geometry from user-space is not handled properly by the driver. The number of rows/columns must be a function of the hactive/hinactive/vactive/vinactive hardware setting that the driver makes, and the RISC program must be built to WRITE or SKIP _exactly_ that many rows/columns, otherwise the hardware complains. You can see this with fxtv in small size, by adding the following code to the driver: printf( " STATUS dstatus %x istatus %lx risc_count %x \n", dstatus, bktr_status, bt848->risc_count ); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_FBUS) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_FBUS in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ? "even":"odd"); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_FTRGT) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_FTRGT in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ? "even":"odd"); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_FDSR) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_FDSR in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ? "even":"odd"); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_PPERR) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_PPERR in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ? "even":"odd"); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_RIPERR) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_RIPERR in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ? "even":"odd"); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_PABORT) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_PABORT in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ? "even":"odd"); if ((bktr_status & BT848_INT_OCERR) != 0) printf( " ---> BT848_INT_OCERR in %s data\n", (bktr_status & BT848_INT_FIELD) ?

"even":"odd"); after (about) line 1481 where all these errors are tested. On my system, fxtv in small mode causes continual SCERR errors which the data sheet refers to as a "severe error". I don't think that the driver should allow a user-space application to specify parameters that the driver and hardware don't like. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Apr 25 20:56:10 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from rah.star-gate.com (rah.star-gate.com [209.249.129.138]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 279CF14CFE; Sun, 25 Apr 1999 20:56:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from hasty@rah.star-gate.com) Received: from rah.star-gate.com (localhost.star-gate.com [127.0.0.1]) by rah.star-gate.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA04361; Sun, 25 Apr 1999 20:55:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from hasty@rah.star-gate.com) Message-Id: <199904260355.UAA04361@rah.star-gate.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: John Birrell Cc: gurney_j@resnet.uoregon.edu, multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG, fsmp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: brooktree driver problems??

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org There are sizes which don't generate additional errors, being careful to not to ask for odd dimensions (in &= 1 sense) I never saw more than 75 ints/sec with the original driver (from VSYNC twice and the final GEN_IRQ), after some bastardizing now only 25 ints/sec (GEN_IRQ only). Quality of the broadcast/camera might have an impact here... IMHO the risc code might be changed a bit to just programatically generate the wanted interrupts (with risc-status) and mask away vsync ints. Input errors (loss of signal etc) should be taken too. The complicated determination of correct field/frame in bktr_intr would then be unnecessary as the risc code would not proceed into generating the correct risc-status irq without good signal flowing. I got so confused about the even/odd things. Does VRE _follow_ even field ? Which field produces the first visible scanline ? Circles in still pictures look correct but moving objects generate an effect which led me to think the fields are from differing frames (maybe this is just the way television works ?) Just try to capture interlaced picture from the fast-moving business figures on CNBC :) Can we get vbi data without the corresponding field of pixel data ?

Not sure if this is the best place for this question, but I figured it was worth a shot. =) Is there an easy way to hook a camera (USB?) to a -STABLE box, for the purpose of a webcam? Color is preferred, but grayscale will do. How it would work the best: A command line program that simply grabs an image either dumps it to a file, or sends it back in a stream... then I could write a perl script to grab an image and display it on command when someone wants to see the webcam's image. This doesn't sound that hard, but I'm not sure if there's driver support for it or not. I don't own anything at the moment, so I'd have to buy anything that will work. (So price matters, to a point.)

The bt878 datasheet contradicts itself but I wrote a test to find the real meaning. VRE is at the END of the even field.

The fields (odd and even) are "sampled" in the camera 1/50th of a second appart. On a real TV, the phosphor from the odd lines has faded away before the even lines are drawn. Of course this does not happen on a VGA screen, so you see each moving object in two positions. > Can we get vbi data without the corresponding field of pixel data ? Not sure what you mean, but I have preliminary VBI capture on my site now. http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 Do you mean "get VBI from even and odd fields, but just video from the odd field?" If so, in theory yes. But the RISC program I wrote did not work right. I kept getting interrputs due to an error in executing the RISC program.

Here is the details on the Hauppuage audio. The Hauppauge cards have an Audio Mux which selects between the various sound sources. (TV, Line In, FM Radio) There are 3 Models of Hauppauge card 1) basic mono audio only 2) nicam stereo audio using msp34xx chip (in the USA there is a dbx version) 3) nicam stereo AND FM Radio. On type 1, you get mono sound directly from the tuner On type 2, you only get sound from the MSP34xx chip. There is no route from the tuner's mono audio output to the audio mux. You cannot bypass the MSP34xx chip. This is the problem. There is no MSP34xx bypass. On type 3 card you get Stereo TV from the MSP34xx chip, You can also get audio direct from the tuner (bypassing the MSP chip) for mono TV or FM radio. The problem is the many type 2 card users with bt848 cards. They have a classic MSP3400C. Type 2 cards with bt878s (the new cards) have MSP3415 chips which we support. So, if you have a Hauppauge with FM RADIO, you can always get TV sound via the radio audio selector. But type 2 card users have no way of bypassing the MSP34xx chip. This has been confirmed both with a multi metre and with my 2 contacts in the Hauppauge design team.

Color is preferred, but grayscale will do. There is old support for old connectix cameras, but I recall the driver does not support the newer models. The best (only?) FreeBSD option is to get a cheap bt848 based (or bt849/bt878) PC TV card. Eg Hauppauge WinCast/TV or WinTV/PCI. There are generic ones for 40 UK pounds here in Scotland. $55 us dollars?. Then you need a cheap camera. Perhaps from Tandy (Radio Shack) Or you can get the Hauppauge TV Card + Camera kit. There is no support for any USB cameras at this time. However, things are in the works. We have the specs for the VLSI Vision Limited (VVL) USB and Parallel port camera. These are resold as Creative Web Cams, Pace Web Cams, a dozen other makes of generic USB/Parallel Camera (look for VVL or Visions on the label on the underside of the camera) Bye Roger > How it would work the best: A command line program that simply grabs an > image either dumps it to a file, or sends it back in a stream... then I > could write a perl script to grab an image and display it on command when > someone wants to see the webcam's image. We have examples of this for the Bt848 cards.

This particular machine has a Diamond Viper V330 (8MB) in it, which is based on the Riva 128ZX chip. I have noticed that as soon as fxtv switches into MIT-SHM mode, video just stops. If the window is obscured, the video just goes black and doesn't come back until it is fully unobscured. Is there a bug in XFree86 3.3.3 that prevents MIT-SHM from working on this chip?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org My notebook (AMS Tech Rodéo 3072 ECX) has a thing called "ZV port", which apparently is somehow internally connected to the C&T 65555 video chip, and supports things like MPEG decoders, live video input, video capture, etc. According to http://www.pc-card.com/papers/zv.htm, ZV (Zoomed Video) is a dedicated bus, or a connection between a PC-card and host system that allows the card to write video data directly into the VGA frame buffer. Now all this sounds real good, and complete documentation on the 65555 chip is available from C&T's web site: http://www.chips.com/design/graphics/mobilegraphics/datashts/ However, I have been so far unable to find a CCD camera that can be plugged into the ZV port on my notebook, and the responses I got from AMS Tech were completely useless - the bottom line was "we have no idea what you're talking about, get a USB camera like everyone else". Moreover, the 65555 datasheet is very clear - I think if I had a camera connected to the port, I could write a device driver for it - that is, provided such a thing is possible in the first place. Bearing the aforesaid in mind, I have several questions: 1) Can the ZV port on my notebook really be used for video capture, or is it one of those things that was designed to be used in many different ways in the future, but as of yet nothing? 2) If this is indeed possible, is there such a thing as "ZV camera" - or does it have to be used in conjunction with a PC card? 3) If a PC Card is needed, how do all these things (PC Card, ZV port, camera) get connected? (Or is there supposed to be some internal connection between the PCMCIA/Cardbus PCI bridge and the ZV port in order to identify the special "ZV" type of PC Cards?) I've heard that some Toshiba notebooks also have ZV ports - anyone out there have any ZV experience?

The Luigi's sound driver puts these chips in MODE 2. However, there are some limitations when using MODE 2. Notably, there is not a linear gain control available for the microphone input. This represents a problem with the CS4235 (which has no amplifier step after the input mixer) when the microphone does not supply a high level signal (a common case). This mic gain control _is_ available when the codec works in MODE 3. There are some useful additional functions available in MODE 3. For example, the input mixer works as a full symmetrical mixer (and not as a simple multiplexer). There are also other advantages, like independent sample frequency control for ADCs and DACs, etc. I modified some parts of the Luigi's sound driver (thanks, Luigi, for your help!) in order to gain access to some of the functions available in MODE 3. These are the changes introduced: - The codec initialization routines (both non-PnP and PnP) now try to switch to MODE 3. - The mixer support has been greatly enhanced. Now, if MODE 3 is available, the input mixer is used as a a true mixer, permitting to select multiple recording sources. For doing this, a new method for muting/unmuting the paths from each sound source to both the input and output mixers has been implemented. - There is specific mixer support for the CS4235 and the CS4236/CS2437. In particular, the owners of CS4235-based cards (such as the AcerOpen AW37 or the Genius SoundMaker 3DX2) will see a great improvement. I only have access to CS4235-based cards, so I am willing to hear experiences from people who own soundcards based on any of the CS423x codec family. Particularly, I would like to know whether the codec is correctly detected and switched to MODE 3, and whether the new mixer works with your card. I created a set of patches for the files ad1848.c (v1.20), mss.h (v1.4) and sound.h (v1.11) under the /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd directory. If your system sources are more recent than Jan 4, 1999, it's OK. The file containing these patches can be fetched from this URL: http://garatu.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose/pcm-patch-1.0.tar.gz NOTE: for the CS4235, the "igain" mixer device controls the 20dB microphone boost (>50=on); for the CS4236/7, the "igain" device controls the gain applied to the input of the ADC (not available in the CS4235). The "vol" mixer device has been removed for the CS4236, because its master volume control cannot be controlled by software; however, the CS4235 does support a software controlled master volume. If you try these modifications, please send me a report including the messages from the sound driver displayed while booting verbosely.

The multimedia archives are searchable at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html. |Anyhow, I have a second development machine at home that I now have up and |running FreeBSD with a Hauppauge WinTV stereo card. This particular machine |has a Diamond Viper V330 (8MB) in it, which is based on the Riva 128ZX chip. |I have noticed that as soon as fxtv switches into MIT-SHM mode, video just |stops. If the window is obscured, the video just goes black and doesn't |come back until it is fully unobscured. Ok. So direct video works, SHM XImages don't. |Is there a bug in XFree86 3.3.3 that prevents MIT-SHM from working on this |chip? It's remotely possible, but my bets are on the driver not delivering frame-done interrupts to the application. |Is there a way I can fall back to XImages? Sure, several ways. Assuming your routing table is set up standard such that 127.0.0.1 is your loopback (lo0) interface, just do this: setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0 fxtv Fxtv doesn't go probing the network interfaces of a machine to determine what IPs are local, so if your $DISPLAY doesn't match ":*" or "unix:*", then it assumes you're remote (i.e. no DGA and no SHM XImage transfers will be attempted). I'm gonna bet you still see black when the window is partially occluded, though you're now using standard XImages). If so, please post the output of "fxtv -debug startup" along with your hardware config (card, MSWin* device manager details, etc.) so Roger or another driver expert can help you nail this one down.

It was one nice piece of kit, ahh nostalgia. Hrm? If it was '93, it was more likely to be the Archimedes, which came out in '87 or '88. That used the ``ARM'' home-grown processor. In '93, it could have even been an ARM3. The ARM2 ran at a whopping 8MHz! (well, it was 12MHz I think, but after DRAM refresh (which paused the CPU, from memory) it was effectively 8MHz) Gary (who misses well-designed computers like the BBC B and Archimedes.

This can cause poor performance Ok, what this means is that IMS have not followed all of the bt878 design guidelines which allow my part of the bt848 driver to determine the card make and model. The problem with bt848 based cards is that you know you have a bt848 chip, but you do not know the manufacturer of the card eg IMS, Fly, Hauppauge, AverMedia, etc. On Bt878s there is an additional register which allows the card manufacturer to store their manufacturer ID too, thus allowing the driver to determine if this is a Hauppauge Bt878 card or a FlyVideo Bt878 card or an AverMedia one etc. etc. The warning means that your card does not store this additional vendor ID (called the sub-system vendor ID). So, we need to do a few steps to support your card. Firstly, can you run "fxtv -debug startup" and email me the output. > Ive generated /dev/bktr0 using /dev/MAKEDEV, but whenever I try to > use fxtv, it says /dev/bktr0 isnt configured. This is strange. Even though the card is identified incorrectly, fxtv should start. You sould be able to get video from a VCR or cam-corder. You may have problems with the Tuner. Randall suggested you had the wrong major/minor number in /dev You could also check the permissions. I'm sure when I tried my -current machine the other day, fxtv failed too, but running fxtv as ROOT worked fine. I re-did sh MAKEDEV bktr and it all worked again. Strange.

I am looking at implementing METEORCAPFRM right now, and also supporting breaking the even/odd fields out, but it will require rewriting the RISC programs for the Bt848... but work is slow going as the driver has a number of problems.. there is a lot of code that is in the Bt848 driver that isn't used (WANT_TS), also it doesn't do bits per pixel for frame sizes, it does bytes per pixel which ruins things when you do YUV_12... frame_size is used by the WANT_TS code, but never initalized... at least there isn't a way to enable the WANT_TS flag so you can't cause problems with it.. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 541 684 8449 Cu Networking P.O.

What I have done also, is to put in debug messages into the driver, and found that the driver is unable to access the card's eeprom (which is one of the first steps fxtv wants to do). I've traced to the function /sys/pci/bt848_i2c.c:bti2c_write(). The loop that "check for ACK" appears to finish without an ACK being returned correctly or something. I've tryed getting to wait longer, without success, then I tryed commenting out the "bti2c->int_stat =" line as well, again without success. } fxtv should start.

Unfortunately, the executable I got was less functional than the one I started with (2.70.7.0) - for example it won't read quicktime with the Cinepak codec. I tried to load the downloadable codecs from the Xanim page at http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/xa_dlls.html . I downloaded the various linux (ELF) codecs, but when I run xanim it reports that dlopen failed because of unresolved symbols. (The symbols are stderr or _IO_stderr_ depending on the version of the library that the DLL uses) I'm assuming this is because because none of the DLLs is compiled with BSD's libc. Questions: Has anyone gotten xanim to work with the dynamic codecs? If so how? If not, would it be worthwhile to ask Mark Podlipec to compile us a set for FreeBSD dlls, and what would we need to give him to do so (presumably a copy of our libc would be sufficient)? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Faber faber@isi.edu USC/ISI Computer Scientist http://www.isi.edu/~faber (310) 822-1511 x190 PGP Key: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNzHNp4b4eisfQ5rpAQFC+AQAgEP+sWN5kAsUTpJjeOSa30SAq/zz4QWo 6NYloCkUqM8u40HGfhOuXHc4lPn+1Gv1qralgHS6brSpTUl89VVwuWSyXRuwqRga mGws2hkAYGIQETGOwdSLbydNiAWCMEqVhjkqa+6hk4RSjPsLSpU1k/RgA/nKqE/H vwRP50R40Qo= =7hbm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu May 6 15:30:38 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from ocean.campus.luth.se (ocean.campus.luth.se [130.240.194.116]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6FAB715D47 for ; Thu, 6 May 1999 15:30:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from karpen@ocean.campus.luth.se) Received: (from karpen@localhost) by ocean.campus.luth.se (8.9.1/8.9.1) id AAA13351; Fri, 7 May 1999 00:24:02 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from karpen) From: Mikael Karpberg Message-Id: <199905062224.AAA13351@ocean.campus.luth.se> Subject: Re: Anyone got xanim 2.80.1 port using dlls?

From the Xanim www page (http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/): --- If you find that your platform is not supported you have two options to help me help you: 1) The preferred solution is to provide me with a C cross-compiler that runs on a linux ELF glibc 2.* machine and is capable of producing shared libraries for your platform. 2) Alternatively, you can donate(not loan) to me a machine that has networking support and has all the necessary software installed to compile C source code into a shared library. I won't need a monitor if I can somehow find a cable that will connect the video out to individual RGB BNC connectors or a standard VGA connector. Again, this isn't the preferred way, since it's easier for me to have the cross-compiler. The only advantage this has is for audio support and if I need to debug the dlls. NOTE: since I'm under NDA for most of the dlls, I can't give out the source. Nor can I upload the source to an account that is provided to me for the purposes of doing a compile. --- So... what would be needed and probably best, is for someone to sit down and fix a cross compiler enviroment for FreeBSD that can run on Linux. Unless there is someone here with too much money that could buy an extra machine, install a nice install of FreeBSD, and ship it to him. /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu May 6 15:56:54 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from matrix.42.org (matrix.42.org [194.246.250.200]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B41714CCB for ; Thu, 6 May 1999 15:56:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sec@42.org) Received: (from sec@localhost) by matrix.42.org (8.8.8/8.8.5) id AAA00731 (sender ); Fri, 7 May 1999 00:56:38 +0200 (CEST) Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 00:56:37 +0200 From: Stefan `Sec` Zehl To: Randall Hopper Cc: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Quake 3 Arena, linux version WORKS!

While this is a win for the emulation folks, it would be really nice to have a native FreeBSD version of this.

Thanks to Paul, Ivan and Gilad, we have the FlyVideo 98 card working in FreeBSD. I have once again updated the beta test driver at http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 for the -current, 3.1-Release 3.x-stable and 3.2-Release (due soon) users. If you have a FlyVideo card which uses the Bt878 chipset, please can you download it and test it. The new driver supports Card Autodetection (using the onboard EEPROM) audio from the Tuner and Line in and automatically enables the PLL mode needed by Bt878 users in PAL or SECAM TV areas. However, until we can decode the onboard EEPROM contents, you need to select the Tuner Type manually. Typing the following command (as root) before starting FXTV will set the tuner type to PAL sysctl -w hw.bt848.tuner=10 Please test and send feedback (both Good and Bad) to me roger@cs.strath.ac.uk I intend to commit this to -current once I get enough positive feedback.

Are you crazy? :) Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm playing with the GLX (server-side OpenGL-to-hardware interface) drivers for the Matrox G200 2D/3D chip (very good chip, btw), and the good news is that they work in FreeBSD. Mostly. My problem is that sometimes, the driver (which loads into a XFree86 3.3.x server as a module, and also comes with a Mesa-based libGL.so) likes to kill the X server with a SIGFPU at a certain point in the code (in the hardware pixel/texel-smoothing routines, to be exact). When I run the SGI logo.c demo, it will kill the server, eventually, with SIGFPU, and when I play q3test through the driver, it'll drop the server at or near the same place in the code as logo.c. This doesn't happen when Mesa itself is doing the rendering in software. The reason I'm asking here on the FreeBSD lists about this is because I remember some rumblings a while back about differences in the way FreeBSD and Linux handle the FPU, and whether they'd be pertinent to this. It'd appear, from what I've seen, that all development on these drivers (until now) has been done on Linux, so a lot of these SIGFPU issues would be "invisible" to them. If anyone wants a look at the code, the CVS information is at http://lists.openprojects.net/mailman/listinfo/g200-dev and I can also get crash dumps and backtraces for anyone who wants them. -lee -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on WTnet) | | lcremeans@erols.com | http://wakky.dyndns.org/~lee | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat May 8 2:24:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from eagle.phc.igs.net (eagle.phc.igs.net [207.210.17.201]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B6D9E153AB; Sat, 8 May 1999 02:24:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from eagle@eagle.phc.igs.net) Received: by eagle.phc.igs.net (Postfix, from userid 1003) id 69C471897; Sat, 8 May 1999 04:24:03 +0000 (GMT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by eagle.phc.igs.net (Postfix) with SMTP id 63E1A38; Sat, 8 May 1999 04:24:03 +0000 (GMT) Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 04:24:03 +0000 (GMT) From: eagle To: Lee Cremeans Cc: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: G200 GLX and SIGFPU In-Reply-To: <19990508050945.A4995@erols.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Sat, 8 May 1999, Lee Cremeans wrote: > I'm playing with the GLX (server-side OpenGL-to-hardware interface) drivers > for the Matrox G200 2D/3D chip (very good chip, btw), and the good news is > that they work in FreeBSD. > > Mostly. > > My problem is that sometimes, the driver (which loads into a XFree86 3.3.x > server as a module, and also comes with a Mesa-based libGL.so) likes to kill > the X server with a SIGFPU at a certain point in the code (in the hardware > pixel/texel-smoothing routines, to be exact).

This should be done by the GL implementation. At Microsoft, we used to save/restore the fp flags on entry to Direct3D so that we could force the correct mode for our maths to work properly. We had all sorts of trouble before doing that (stupid exceptions enabled, people changing fp precision etc). I think in current versions of D3D, there is an api which you can call to say 'I agree not to touch the fp flags' which improves performance slightly. Mesa should be doing something similar, IMHO. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

It looks like __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__ would mask OVF, DIV0 and INV which I think is a better default. Is there some reason other than inertia for not changing to __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__? I still think Mesa should deal with the flags itself (and save/restore them) otherwise it can get hosed by a stupid application changing to 23bit precision or something similar. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

Exactly; it's not the application that's trapping, it's the X server with the GLX module loaded. Thing is, I'm not sure where to stick the set/restore mask stuff; I'll dig into that after I get some sleep. -lee -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on WTnet) | | lcremeans@erols.com | http://wakky.dyndns.org/~lee | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat May 8 3:46: 2 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from janus.syracuse.net (janus.syracuse.net [205.232.47.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 504241565F; Sat, 8 May 1999 03:45:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from green@unixhelp.org) Received: from localhost (green@localhost) by janus.syracuse.net (8.9.2/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA10507; Sat, 8 May 1999 06:45:39 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 06:45:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Brian Feldman X-Sender: green@janus.syracuse.net To: eagle Cc: Doug Rabson , John-Mark Gurney , Lee Cremeans , hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: G200 GLX and SIGFPU In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Sat, 8 May 1999, Brian Feldman wrote: > On Sat, 8 May 1999, eagle wrote: > > > > > > > On Sat, 8 May 1999, Brian Feldman wrote: > > < major wack> > > > > > > What about switching to __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__? > > > > > Brian, > > > > umm one more time in somthing resembling english? > > > > Rob > > Look at npx.h, starting around line 90.

And think about this: there are ports like {"/home/green"}$ find /usr/ports -name patch-?? -exec grep fpsetmask {} \; + fpsetmask(0); + fpsetmask(0); + fpsetmask(fpgetmask() & ~FP_X_INV); + fpsetmask(0); > > I still think Mesa should deal with the flags itself (and save/restore > them) otherwise it can get hosed by a stupid application changing to 23bit > precision or something similar. > > -- > Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com > Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

Thanks you lost me completely with that the first time i saw it. the __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__ thing just didn't mean anything to me, though next time I run across it it will.
