Overview
Generally, most ATI cards should work fine with GATOS drivers (excluding some older FIRE GL ones..). However, supported features will vary - this document lists specifics for some of them.
Radeon TV-input code has been merged into X.Org CVS, to appear in release 7.0, this includes support for both original Rage Theatre and Rage Theatre 200 version.
Specifics
- All-in-Wonder classic (Mach64)
-
Should work fine with 4.1.0 or later drivers. Both XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling) and TV-in
should work fine. There were success reports with NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. Video capture should work as well.
- All-in-Wonder Rage128 16mb (Rage128)
-
Should work fine with 4.1.0 or later drivers. Both XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling) and TV-in
should work fine. There were success reports with NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. Video capture should work as well. At the moment video capture (km) is incompatible with DRI acceleration.
- All-in-Wonder Rage128 Pro 32mb (Rage128)
-
Should work fine with 4.1.0 or later drivers. Both XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling) and TV-in
should work fine. There were success reports with NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. Video capture should work as well. At the moment video capture (km) is incompatible with DRI acceleration.
- All-in-Wonder Radeon (Radeon)
-
Should work fine with 4.1.0 or later drivers. Both XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling) and TV-in
should work fine. There were success reports with NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. Video capture should work as well. 3d acceleration should work fine.
- All-in-Wonder Radeon 7500 (RV200)
-
Should work fine with 4.2.0 or later drivers. Both XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling) and TV-in
should work fine. There were success reports with NTSC standard. Video capture should work as well. 3d acceleration should work fine. Wireless (RF) remote control should work.
- All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500DV (Radeon200)
-
Should work fine with 4.2.0 or later drivers. XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling)
should work fine. TV-in works in NTSC. It is expected that PAL and SECAM will be easy to made working once there are people willing to test and debug TV-in with these formats. Video capture should work. 3d acceleration is not implemented as of this writing. Firewire port (at least the one on the card itself) has been observed to
work in Linux.
Wireless (RF) remote control should work.
- All-in-Wonder Radeon 9700 (Radeon300)
- We have received documentation for this card and sample hardware (thanks to ATI !), work is underway. At this moment we cannot promise a specific timeframe for availability of working drivers or list specific feature that will be supported.
- Rage Mobility-P (Mach64)
-
Should work fine with either 4.1.0 or later drivers. XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling)
should work fine. Video capture should work as well, but typically these controllers are not TV-in capable. Those that are often incorporate SAAxxxx decoder from Philips (IBM Thinkpads, for example) which is not supported at the moment.
- Rage Mobility-M3 (Rage128)
-
Should work fine with either 4.1.0 or later drivers. XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling)
should work fine. Video capture should work as well, but typically these controllers are not TV-in capable. Those that are often incorporate SAAxxxx decoder from Philips (IBM Thinkpads, for example) which is not supported at the moment.
- Radeon 64mb: XvImage
-
Should work fine with either 4.1.0 or later drivers. XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling)
should work fine. Video capture should work as well, but this card does not have any TV-in ports.
Notes
- Radeon Vivo cards should work. However, there were some reports that Rage Theatre was using wrong ports resulting in black screen. You can try to use the xxxxPort XF86Config options with 4.2.0 or later drivers (see ati.2).
This also applies to many Radeon-based cards with SVideo or composite input but no antenna input.
- Mac cards do not have well-documented BIOS - if you have a Radeon Mac card try using GATOS specific XF86Config options described in ati.2
- The development is usually performed only on one version of ati.2 drivers. Therefore, this page describes cards and features supported by the latest released binaries. For example, drivers for XFree86 4.1.0 do not support any cards released later than All-in-Wonder Radeon.
- Latest ati.2 drivers (for 4.3.0) contain support for CC/VBI for Radeons - NTSC only for now. This feature requires km.
- There is a separate, source only, branch with support for TV-out. It is maintained by Federico Ulivi.
