hiya guys, i have a similar setup as FastPlymouth: an SP13000 and a PVR-250. thanks all around for the tiime and attention spent in this thread; its been invaluable for me.
im chiming in to say that ive had all the same problems up through the S-Video out garbling nonsense. ive managed to get the S-Video out half-way decent: the image is now just shaking vertically a few scanlines. i did this by simply replacing the XFree86Config-4 with the included XFree86Config-4.epia.tvout. im going to try to learn how to switch modelines, and perhaps that will fix this (im a COMPLETE linux newbie).
hope this helps someone. i'll update if i figure it out first. micah.

well, it took a full day of manual reading and config hacking, but i found the fix to the problem of S-Video working beautifully with the vesa driver, but then crapping out when the switch is made to the via driver. simply set
Option "VBEModes" "true"
in your XF86Config-4 file.
here is the description from via's manual page @ http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/via.4.html
The driver will set modes using BIOS similar to the way the vesa driver does. This is the default behaviour for Unichrome Pro in panel mode, which is otherwise not supported. Use this option only when the driver does not support your particular hardware.
cheers! micah.

Thanks Micah!
I will try this out and see if it works for my issue as well. You may be on to something here (I've never heard of that setting before but it seems like letting the hardware decide the modes to use is a good idea).

YES!
Must send lots of creds to gr8nash for this excellent howto.
Im a newbie in the linux world so this was definately needed. I hesitated a lot before buying my nano-board (N10000) since I new it would be difficult to get it working but this guide made my day! thx.
The only thing I had to do(except all the steps in the howto) was to create a file xorgVersion.h that contained
#define XORG_VERSION_MAJOR 6
then everyting went perfect.
my only issue is when watching hdtv content.. it looks alright but the cpu is working too much i think... between 80 and 100%-- is that right? no matter if i play 720p or 1080i clips.. some way to verify whats wrong?
TV and "normal" divX movies plays at 15-20% cpu

Sounds about right to me on the hd content. Its extremely high bandwidth and cpu intensive for any chip. I think the main reason the krp dragon uses the ath64 chip is to display hd content smoothly. The fact that your mini board can do it at all is a testament to the unichrome's xvmc stuff.

yes it was doing 1080i without even breathing hard VERY impressive for a 1ghz PC.
but when reading this by gr8nash i got the feeling the cpu should at least be down to 50% when playing hdtv-content? -or have i got it wrong?

Hi again.
Code: dpkg -i libpam0g-dev_0.79-3.1_i386.deb
I have a comment on the first step in this howto and since there is some error when doing it this might be interesting.
I apt installed midnight commander(after the via drivers according to this howto) and there was som kind of dependency problem with that exact file libpam0g-dev (_0.79-3.1)
it told me to run "apt-get -f install" first and then try to install mc again.
the libpam0g-dev (_0.79-3.1) was then replaced with with a newer version 0.79-3.2
Is this a good thing? does it screw things up or may it even indicate that this newer library should indeed be used instead in the first step of the howto?
what does this dpkg commad do anyway?

I tried commenting out the #include and the build completed with only warnings instead of terminating with errors, but DRM/DRI won't load. I suspect this missing include file is the reason. Could you please provide a little guidance on how to create the xorgVersion.h file with XORG_VERSION_MAJOR = 6? Or maybe you know a source for the file. Perhaps that will fix it for me.
I didn't install libpam0g, as described in the howto, because R5C7 already has a newer version.
I'm halfway to HDTV with XvMC on my ECS P4M800Pro-M. At least the via driver loaded and I've ditched vesa! 
Thanks,
-Cal
Update: I made an xorgVersion.h that caintains
#define XORG_VERSION_MAJOR 6
as described by goonzo.
modprobe -l shows that via.ko and drm.ko are loading into the kernel and the path points to the versions I built, but there's an (EE) message in my XFree86 log that says's DRM is not loading. The new via driver is loading and seems to work okay, except for DRM.

Required me to make xorgVersion.h containing
#define XORG_VERSION_MAJOR 6
...and...
add added
-I/usr/src/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/drm.h
to the via Makefile instead of the symlink. Might be worth specifying a particular svn revision known to work with these instructions in the svn co.

Suineko, Woo-hoo! Thanks--got it working.
For some reason (R5C7?), DRI wouldn't load using the installers cited in this thread, from
http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/
After I compiled and installed DRM as described in the "Direct Rendering Manager" section of this page
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tik ... ource+code
DRI loads.
Code: export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
glxinfo reports the coveted direct rendering: Yes and Code: glxgears
reports higher framerates
Unfortunately, mythtv doesn't seem to use the acceleration--even with the viaXvMC setting so I'm attempting to recompile myth with the --enable-xvmc-pro option. Mythtv-setup and frontend launch okay but mythbackend results in an immediate Segmentation fault.  I'm looking for a howto in the forums describing what I need to do to build myth. I've tried both the tarball and cvs and I dumped mythconverg from SQL and mythbackend still won't run.

after just now trying the how-to i've crashed gdm.......or at least lost display to my monitor.....
anyway, after i re-install, how and where do i make the xorgversion.h file?
i'm a complete noob, obviously.
thanks for the help.

type at prompt:
Code: nano xorgVersion.h
and write on top line: (dont forget to end line with cr, ie newline) Code: #define XORG_VERSION_MAJOR 6
press ctrl+X to exit and press Y to save file
now return to the howto and repeat the last step that failed and continue.

awesome....thanks.
if this works it will be a miracle....and it might even make me a linux believer. at this point I've almost lost hope.
