Re: Success with ATI AIW 128 ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have the ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro card.  It doesn't work with Red Hat 7.1.  Apparently I have to re-compile the kernel or upgrade to Red Hat 7.3.  I'm trying to re-compile the kernel but one of the modules doesn't compile correctly.  The i2c.c file won't compile.  Apparently the c source file doesn't match one of the header files.

Subject: Success with ATI AIW 128 ?

I recently read about Lee Sanders' success with the ATI TV-Wonder VE -- great!
Was there an outcome with the ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro card ? 
Did he  get it to work ?
 
I have RH7.3 (2.4.18-3) running on x86,  and an ATI AIW 128 32Mb AGP is being shipped to me. This board appears to combine the functionality of the 2 boards that Lee has, ie. TV tuner plus PC video card.
 
Any successes to report or any suggestions?

I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro card. I wonder what the differences are that make yours work with bttv while mine doesn't. I have Red Hat 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2-2. Is that too old?

> Hi all,

> I've been lurking on this mailing list now for a couple of months, hearing about all the problems people have been having with their various hardware and how it all got fixed (or not). I learnt a lot about how to fix all sorts of problems from all you learned people.

> This weekend I took the plunge:

> ATI TV wonder VE (GBP25)

> own brand ATI rage 128 based video card with TV-out (GBP20)

> Redhat 7.3 (FREE)

> quarter gig of DDR (GBP35)

> ECS K7S5A (SIS735 based) (GBP50)

> Athlon XP 1600+ (GBP50)

> had the other bits lying around (FREE)

> ( GBP180 = $270 )

> Redhat (most of it!) took 17 minutes to install (fast disk) (!)

> I logged in, called up a command window and for laugh typed 'xawtv &'.

> I expected loads of errors, but got exactly none.

> I didn't do a modprobe or anything.

> xawtv told me that it had no config file and still worked beautifully.

> I tuned in the channels and saved the .xawtv file.

> I was watching TV *30 minutes* from starting with a clean box.

> Wow ! Don't believe all those horror stories.

> As a word of warning, the ATI TV wonder VE windows software is terrible. (if you really want to capture under Windows, VirtualDub is the business - although you'll still have to use the wretched ATI software to change channel - bleaugh !)

> I bought the new motherboard, processor and memory for the next stage.

> Now I need to get ffmpeg and a few codecs and see what this baby can really do !

> Anyone got any comments on codecs to use? The first level of quality required is to replace a VHS video recorder recording on long play.
