This was originally posted with the title of "Problem with r5a16 and cn400 unichrome chipset" at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5112
I've moved it so others can use this howto without trying to upgrade to Xorg.
I have figured out how to get this HD clip:
http://www.pchdtv.com/downloads/tst.tar
to play full screen with 30% idle on my Commell LT-667T (1GHz, CN400)
This is not as clean as some could probably do but it works. It replaces XFree86 4.3 with 4.5 (perhaps someone could change this to be a debian package?):
Hack fix for R5b7 compile issues:
The following is because the libpam0g is a version that I don't know where it cam from. It will error, but will work enough... (I know this is bad)
Code: wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pam/libpam0g-dev_0.79-3.1_i386.deb
dpkg -i libpam0g-dev_0.79-3.1_i386.deb *Get XFree86 4.5 Sources & untar Code: cd /usr/src/
wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.5.0/source/XFree86-4.5.0-src-1.tgz
wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.5.0/source/XFree86-4.5.0-src-2.tgz
wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.5.0/source/XFree86-4.5.0-src-3.tgz
wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.5.0/source/XFree86-4.5.0-src-4.tgz
wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.5.0/source/XFree86-4.5.0-src-5.tgz
tar -xzvf XFree86-4.5.0-src-1.tgz
tar -xzvf XFree86-4.5.0-src-2.tgz
tar -xzvf XFree86-4.5.0-src-3.tgz
tar -xzvf XFree86-4.5.0-src-4.tgz

Test with glxgears (I got 720fps). The default install of xine will play the tst.ts file using -V xxmc (not xvmc!!!) at 30% idle MPlayer will play a 624x352 xvid movie at 78% idle using -vo xv (doesn't seem to work with -vo xvmc. Any ideas?) Thanks to: The Unichrome Project http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=21910&group_id=102048openChrome.org http://www.openchrome.org/[/code]

Hi gr8nash,
I've been trying to get my cn400 based board to work using your howto but am running into some problems:
I'm getting many build errors when I try to run 'make' in the via (symlinked unichrome) directory.
A snippet follows:

I doubt the cvs code is that botched so I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong here but I can't seem to troubleshoot it.
Might you know what is going wrong?
Thanks,

gr8nash,
The symlink before the make command fixed the above problem, however now I'm stuck on:
Code: make depend
I'm getting: Code: make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/src/drm-devel/drm/libdrm/xf86drm.c', needed by `xf86drm.c'. Stop.
I checked and the drm-devel directory does not exist. I dug around google but could not find any information on this directory or what was supposed to create it. find / | grep drm-devel located nothing as well.
Any ideas?
--UPDATE
I had a copy of the unichrome source that I had pulled down last week sometime. I copied the contents of unichrome-20051018/drm/ to /usr/local/src/drm-devel/ and everything compiled fine. Not sure why it wasn't installed there to begin with.. odd.
I'm now setting up OpenGL accel and I'm shortly thereafter going to test everything out.
Thanks!
K

Well - now after everything compiled cleanly and left no errors in any logfiles I'm getting a completely garbled picture from tv-out on my epia board. It almost looks like horizontal/vertical refresh issues but I tweaked the modelines and the default resolution (800x600) should be handled fine by my enhanced res TV via svideo. I suspect the drivers are just plain broken.
This is a long, painful frustrating road for the xf86 novice - you might be better off going with XOrg.

Just wanted to pass on the news that I tried this howto on my EPIA M10000, chipset CLE266 - as you might expect, it worked perfectly with the Unichrome drivers. Now I have fast 3D in the 2.6 Knoppmyth kernel (R5A30.2) & xfree! Thanks for this highly useful howto.
I followed it to the letter, except for editing /etc/X11/XvMCConfig - I don't have the Pro chipset so left this file as it was. I encountered the same compilation issues with pam, but after installing the recommended .deb I was able to get past that.
FastPlymouth - if you're having problems after upgrading stuff, maybe try a fresh XF86Config-4. I found the xorg.conf file linked to here very useful, I think you could probably rename the example as XF86Config-4 and try it as a test. Certainly if you copy the modelines from the TV Monitor sections they should work.

lordsnooty,
Thanks for the tip! The link seems to be a very inclusive discussion of via-based tvout - I will try some of these suggestions when I get home from work tonight.
I'm hoping some config tweaking will fix the issue seeing as how compilation went fine and the driver loads cleanly.
Thanks!

Hi gr8nash,
I'm considering getting an LV-675T and found this thread useful.
One question: you mention playing the HDTV clip (which is a 1080i clip). Does this mean you're getting 1080i from the Openchrome drivers?
I looked on the Openchrome site, but it's a bit sparse when it comes to up-to-date information on the capabilities. There doesn't seem to be any info on the resolutions supported.
Cheers,
Keith

Everyone,
I'm planning on doing a complete reinstall with R5B7. I'm going to try this howto again and if I end up with the same problem I will repeat the process with xorg 7.
Assuming one of these methods works I will writeup a howto on a seperate thread (unless of course gr8nash's works without flaw  )
On with the fun!

Quote: Assuming one of these methods works I will writeup a howto on a seperate thread (unless of course gr8nash's works without flaw ) Good luck.. i dont know whatelse todo on my howto.. it works fine on my b7 system.. and aparently on at least 1 other person.. so let me know if you see any oversights.

gr8nash,
Where you able to run mplayer with no problems? If so, did you re-compile mplayer and what version was that? When R5A30 first came out, I tried your solution but got many errors...found mythdora, which had a unichrome version, xine worked great but mplayer did not.
Wish there was a way to change a config file in mythtv to use xine instead of mplayer.
Thanks.

not sure what you are talking about, but you have always been able to change the mythvideo command in KnoppMyth, and if I'm not mistaken it actually uses xine for dvd playback by default now. _________________ Have a question search the forum and have a look at the KnoppMythWiki.

Tried again with a clean install of R5B7 - similar result. This time the screen is mostly visible (it looks fine when the driver is "vesa" in XF86Config-4) but it flickers heavily. Thinking it was a refresh rate type deal I tried some different modelines for 800x600 with the same essential result.
I have an Epia SP13000 w/cn400 chipset and an enhanced resolution 800 line TV hooked up with svideo out on the epia.
Clean compilations and no errors in the xserver log or dmesg output.
Any ideas?

Spoke too soon!
I got it to work (at least I can see the left 87% of the screen and the color is a little VCR-ish at the top). Obviously there is still a bit of modeline tweaking to go - however I've ascertained that the driver most probably works with my hardware.
The picture was good enough to test mpeg playback, opengl (490 FPS - not bad at all but I wish I could get gr8nash's framerate with it!) and live TV.
Live TV blew me away! I've never seen it so smooth - even when skipping around with UI alpha fades and everything - smooth as silk (albeit somewhat fuglified by color issues and screen placement)!
I'll report back with a working modeline for this mainboard and output type once I find one!
Thanks to all! Great job gr8nash!

I was refering to playback of recording shows, I assumed myth was using mplayer.
FastPlymouth, congrats  . I'm out of the chase to get it work. Even though my LV-667T PSU was not plugged int, it got zapped somehow thru my network connection (along with my vongage box, from the storm)  . Might try one of the K8M800 mATX boards next.
