Open-Source ATI Driver Gets TV-Out

Argh, that was to easy, I should have known that by myself. Thanks!

Do you have xorg-x11-server-sdk?

Configure error

I have a strange configure error:

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... (cached) none needed
checking dependency style of gcc... (cached) gcc3
./configure: line 20150: syntax error near unexpected token `XINERAMA,'
./configure: line 20150: `XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT(XINERAMA, xineramaproto)'

And honestly, I have no idea where that comes from.

My machine is a standard Fedora 7 which is up2date so the setup is comparable to the one used in the review/howto. And I have almost all xorg-x11 packages installed, the only ones missing are some drv*devel packages for drivers I do not use.

Does anyone has any idea?

Hi,

I've manage to patch, compile and install the driver. My xorg.conf now shows

(II) RADEON(0): Port0:
Monitor -- AUTO
Connector -- VGA
DAC Type -- Primary
TMDS Type -- None
DDC Type -- VGA_DDC
(II) RADEON(0): Port1:
Monitor -- AUTO
Connector -- DVI-I
DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
TMDS Type -- Internal
DDC Type -- DVI_DDC
(II) RADEON(0): Port2:
Monitor -- AUTO
Connector -- STV
DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
TMDS Type -- None
DDC Type -- NONE

But I don't know how to setup my xorg.conf. Anyone knows how or could show me a working xorg.conf with vga and tv out working?

Ok, I keep running into a problem at the autogen.sh stage. aclocal seems to be giving me a problem.

% ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 174.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 174.
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal  --output=aclocal.m4t
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 288.
autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory

I first received an error involving autoreconf. Turns out it was not installed on my system. I installed the package and now the above output is where I am at now.

Thanks to you guys I have the TV-out working, but now there's another problem. The colors on the TV appear as if their brightness has been inverted. For example, bright orange becomes dark orange and dark blue becomes light blue.

This is my LCD monitor and this is my tv screen. Any ideas?

Which header files and dev packages, specifically? I've been installing various things that sound related, such as xorg-dev and xlibs-dev, but I keep getting the same make error.

According to gentoo's portage this particular
header belongs to the 'xorg-server' package,
assuming your distro is already using >= X 7.0

Yoshi's right. To find out what's missing, use your distributions package system. For instance, on debian go to http://packages.debian.org/ and at the bottom, search for the missing file - xf86Crtc.h. It tells you that the file exists in the xserver-xorg-dev package.
Now, this is debian. I don't know if this works for you.

maybe xorg-server development files would do the trick.
