What to do with all this
GATOS project provides enhanced drivers for many videocards made by ATI (in particular All-in-Wonder series) and a TV player/recorder application AVview. While ultimately we would like AVview to be compatible with all video capture hardware supported by Linux at the moment it supports GATOS drivers far better than anything else.
Suggestions:
- Take a look at the Supported cards page to find out whether you have a videocard supported by this project
- If you decide to install ati.2 drivers or AVview subsribe to at least gatos-announce mailing list - it is very low traffic and is used only for announcements related to GATOS project like new software releases.
- Read the news section below.
News
Radeon TV-input code has been merged into X.Org CVS, to appear in release 7.0.
- Bogdan Diaconescu has written code to support Rage Theatre 200 chips and it has been merged into X.org CVS, it will appear in release 7.0.
- ati.2 Radeon TV-input code has been merged into X.org CVS, it will appear in release 7.0.
- Bogdan Diaconescu has ported rage128 and radeon parts of ati.2 code to XFree86 4.4.0 - the new code is in module ati.4.4.0 in GATOS CVS.
- Some of GATOS code that provides Xvideo support for mach64 adaptors has been merged into XFree86 CVS after much, much rework by Egbert Eich and Marc La France.
- Lourens Veen has written a nice haiku describing the status of TV-out support.
- The haiku above no longer applies thanks to the work of Federico Ulivi on TV-output support for Radeons. See tv_output branch above.
- The driver development is in the process of moving to X.org CVS.
After our move (from linuxvideo.org, way back):
