Unfortunately now I'm still dealing with some jitter and discoloration across the top of the screen using s-video out on the epia sp13000. Looks much better than the last time I tried it - maybe it'll just require some modeline hacking.

If anyone has gotten this to work with s-vid out please post your modelines. There doesn't seem to be any out there on the web for this type of setup yet and this thread is probably the best place to begin a collection :)

Thanks!

I don't think that the via driver supports custom modelines with the TV-out chipset unfortunately.... (Someone told me, and I looked at the source.) There are a couple of pre-defined modes that you could try.....

Remove your already added ModeLine's (Or just comment them out) and add one of these:
Code:
446        { MODEPREFIX("640x480"),      23520,  640,  656,  744,  784, 0,  480,  487,  491,  600, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_NVSYNC, MODESUFFIXNTSC },
447        { MODEPREFIX("640x480"),      30000,  640,  680,  808, 1000, 0,  480,  520,  523,  600, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_NVSYNC, MODESUFFIXPAL  },
448        { MODEPREFIX("800x600"),      39900,  800,  840,  976, 1064, 0,  600,  604,  620,  750, 0, V_PHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIXNTSC },
449        { MODEPREFIX("800x600"),      34500,  800,  816,  880,  920, 0,  600,  604,  620,  750, 0, V_PHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIXPAL  },
450        { MODEPREFIX("1024x768"),     54810, 1024, 1032, 1088, 1160, 0,  768,  780,  792,  945, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_NVSYNC, MODESUFFIXNTSC },
451        { MODEPREFIX("1024x768"),     57000, 1024, 1040, 1112, 1200, 0,  768,  829,  840,  950, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_NVSYNC, MODESUFFIXPAL  },
452        { MODEPREFIX("848x480"),      34860,  848,  872, 1032, 1200, 0,  480,  495,  509,  581, 0, V_PHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIXNTSC },
453        { MODEPREFIX("848x480"),      36000,  848,  872, 1032, 1200, 0,  480,  498,  509,  600, 0, V_PHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIXPAL  },
454        { MODEPREFIX("720x480"),      25200,  720,  728,  776,  840, 0,  480,  511,  515,  600, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIXNTSC },
455        { MODEPREFIX("720x576"),      28500,  720,  728,  744,  760, 0,  576,  635,  643,  750, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIXPAL  },
456        { MODEPREFIX("640x480Over"),  20160,  640,  648,  704,  720, 0,  480,  490,  491,  560, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_NVSYNC, MODESUFFIXNTSC },

just take the string in between "" and paste them into the mode section in the X config.

OwL,

I don't recognize that syntax - I am using XFree86. gdm complains about the curly braces.

Is this some kind of xorg-generated stuff?

Thanks,
K

Now that I look at it it kind of resembles the predefined modes in xf86DefModes.c - is this where I am adding them/recompiling?

Ok.. my bad.. I was a little vague/lazy in my description...

what I meant was that you should use one of the pre-defined modes that I pasted...

For example, this might look like something in your X config file...
Code:
...
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultColorDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     1
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
...


Change the row: Modes "800x600" "640x480"

to for example (NTSC): Modes "720x480Noscale"
or (PAL)
Modes "720x576Noscale"
or (PAL)
Modes "720x576Over"
or (NTSC)
Modes "720x480Over"

Just try find one from the list I pasted before ......

What I pasted before was the hardcoded valid TV-out modelines existing in the VIA Openchrome driver.

You should first disable all custom corresponding Modelines before using the hardcoded ones.

Hmm - yeah still looks like crap. Without the modelines the screen looks completely corrupted. I'm guessing s-video out on the cn400-based boards is still fubar in the unichrome drivers.

Time for another dig through the mailing list I think.

Thanks!

I've been considering upgrading to R5E50 and noticed that it now uses Xorg 7.1. Has anyone with an Epia SP13000 and the CN400 tried upgrading to this version yet? Do you still need to go through this how-to?

Cheers,

Michael

After reading around, I found that the CN400 chip is supported in xorg 7.1 and I've now got everything up and running again.

However, after performing an auto upgrade from R5D7 to R5E50, I found X wouldn't start. I discovered that /etc/X11/xorg.conf was empty. To solve this, I copied xorg.conf.in to xorg.conf then restored /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 from my backup and copied over the relevant bits. Worked after restarting.

Is the "standard" option in the settings working for the hardware mpeg2 acecleration or do you still have to use xvmc like in R5C7 ?
Does OpenGL "effects" (in mythmusic) work out of the box as well?

Im running r5c7 and thinking of upgrading and dont want to mess too much with it if the graphics issues arent solved with the newest version.

I still have to select the XvMC option in settings. The effects seem to work in MythMusic. The key thing for me was not having to follow the instructions at the start of this thread. It's not for the feint hearted though, as it's a bit daunting when X windows doesn't start.

I wrote these instructions: R5E50 and Via Epia which might help?
