<div>This HOWTO should help you enable TV-Out support on your ATI Radeon or ATI Rage based ThinkPad.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Using the GATOS driver ==<br />
<br />
At the [http://gatos.sf.net/ GATOS webpage] one can find the ati.2 driver, a drm-module for the kernel and some additional software. When combined this suffice to get the TV-Out of ATI Radeon (Mobility) chips activated. Yet the information and the software there seem to be a bit out of date.<br />
<br />
==Using atitvout==<br />
<br />
Another approach is by using the <br />
[[atitvout]] tool<br />
provided (but no longer maintained) by Lennart Poettering.<br />
<br />
The provided archive contains a source release which can be compiled and installed by {{cmdroot|make}} and {{cmdroot|make install}} within the extracted directory. The atitvout tool will then be installed to {{path|/usr/local/sbin/atitvout}}.<br />
<br />
The tool uses the VESA Bios Extensions (VBE) which are initialized only once during power on. So if you want to use the TV-out, be sure to get the corresponding video device such as a tv connected before powering your ThinkPad. Under some circumstances the tool fails to communicate properly with the VBE Bios. By issuing {{cmd|atitvout -f t}} you activate the SVideo output port. The command {{cmd|atitvout -f l}} you change the graphics output back to the LCD.<br />
<br />
The atitvout doesn't seem to work on higher resolutions. To send a Xserver to a connected video device, it is possible to start a second Xserver e.g. with {{cmd|startx -- :1 -xf86config XF86Config-4_reduced-resolution}}. For resolutions up to 1024x768 the switching should work fine.<br />
<br />
While this works very well for ordinary X applications, playing video files, say with mplayer or xine might result in wrong aspect ratio or otherwise distorted output.<br />
<br />
Switch to a text console (preferably a non framebufferd one) and issue an {{cmd|atitvout -f t}}. Then start {{cmd| mplayer -vo svga}} and the filename and other options needed. After enjoying the show, switch back with {{cmd|atitvout -f l}}.<br />

<div>Please merge this page with the ATI Radeon 7000 page, no need for a seperate page.<br />

This way people with other ThinkPads with the same chip can also benefit.<br />

While i agree to your argument, i kept it on a separate page because putting it on all the relevant adapters pages would cause redundant editing needs when something changes. However, i did put the links where i thought applicable. Probably needs verification. [[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 17:49, 15 Aug 2005 (CEST)<br />

<br />
Yesterday I managed to get my TV-Out running, but it wasn't by the ati.2 theatre_drv driver for the Xserver. Instead I used a small and unmaintained tool named atitvout. I think it should work on other Radeon / Rage cards.<br />
<br />
I have yet to test the theatre_drv variant, till now it didn't work as I expected. But I tried it with a second Xserver and perhaps that was the problem. I will try once more tomorrow running only one Xserver. By the documentation it should work, but my XFree.1.log said that the TVOutput Option was not used.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not sure how to proceed with the documentation. If I succeed with the Xserver module, I would continue as I begun, but if it doesn't work, I only have the atitvout variant. Any hints on how to proceed?<br />
--[[User:Macfiron|Macfiron]] 22:28, 15 Aug 2005 (CEST)<br />
----<br />
I just changed the sectioning of the page a bit, so we have two main sections now: the GATOS approach and the atitvout approach. This should help you going on. If you cannot validate the GATOS approach please remove the A30p entry from the "tested on" section.<br />

<br />
Thanks for the advice. I already added the atitvout doku. And I managed to get up and run another test on the tv but I didn't get the ati.2 drivers to activate the SVideo out. And I got confused about the versions and dates of the GATOS drivers, XFree86 drivers and the drm-kernel module. Time for a break H-)<br />
--[[User:Macfiron|Macfiron]] 02:20, 16 Aug 2005 (CEST)</div>Macfironhttps://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Installing_Debian_3.1_(Sarge)_on_a_ThinkPad_A30p&diff=16976Installing Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on a ThinkPad A30p2005-08-15T23:40:15Z<p>Macfiron: function keys issue</p>
<hr />
<div>This is a documentation of some of the installation and configuration steps required for installing Debian/Sarge on a Thinkpad A30p and getting the most out of it.<br />
<br />
== Basic installation ==<br />
<br />
The recommended procedure is, to get a Debian/Sarge DVD put it in the DVD-drive and boot from the DVD. Proceed with the installation as on an arbitrary computer.<br />
<br />
== Components ==<br />
<br />
=== ACPI ===<br />
<br />
For a detailed description of how to operate ACPI on IBM Thinkpads, take a look at [[How to make ACPI work]]. Further it explains the steps necessary to get suspend to ram and hibernation to work. Be sure to check [[How to get special keys to work]] if some of the function keys don't work properly.<br />
<br />
=== Xserver and TV-out ===<br />
<br />
The A30p is supplied with an ATI Radeon Mobility 7000 graphics adapter. It comes with a tv output and a tv input connector. The XFree86 supplied by [[:Category:Debian|Debian/Sarge]] contains a working ati driver which supports acceleration and DRI. However at [http://gatos.sf.net GATOS] you can find up to date OpenSource drivers for both, XFree86 and Xorg (while the 7.0 release should come along with the GATOS drivers).<br />
<br />
For information on the SVideo out read [[How to get TV-Out working on ATI graphic cards]].<br />
<br />
== Kernel ==<br />
<br />
This is a short summary on the kernel features needed on the A30p.<br />
The supplied kernel in Debian/Sarge is 2.6.8. It is advisable to get a newer Version. You can use either a newer debianized kernel or get a vanilla kernel. At the time this documentation is written, the latest known version is 2.6.12.4.<br />
<br />
Enable support for: ''(recommended: as '''M'''odule or '''S'''tatically compiled in )''<br />
<br />
* Modules and module unloading<br />
* Support for Pentium-III processor<br />
* ACPI ([[How_to_make_ACPI_work|how to make it work]]) '''S'''<br />
* cpu-freq with ondemand governor (alternatively userspace governor) '''S'''<br />
* PIIX chipset<br />
* IDE/ATA drives and floppy (at least HDD '''S''' or initrd needed)<br />
* PCMCIA - Yenta cardbus<br />
* e100 network device '''M'''<br />
* usb-uhci for usb host controller '''M'''<br />
* i810 sound card '''M'''<br />
* nvram '''M'''<br />
* i2c '''M'''<br />
* AGP and radeon support '''M'''<br />
<br />
If using a debianized kernel, most features are compiled as modules. To get everything to work at boot you should put the according modules not detected by hotplug in {{path|/etc/modules}}:<br />
<br />
ide-cd<br />
ide-disk<br />
ide-generic<br />
psmouse<br />
acpi<br />
ac<br />
battery<br />
nvram<br />
cpufreq_ondemand<br />
<br />
''(not yet completed)''<br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
<br />
* acpid<br />
* acpi-support Version 0.21 ''(not contained in Debian, lent from [[Ubuntu]])''<br />
* laptop-mode-tools<br />
* atitvout [http://www.stud.uni-hamburg.de/users/lennart/projects/atitvout/ tool for radeon video adapters]<br />
* ati.2 driver [http://gatos.sf.net up to date driver for ATI radeon cards]<br />

==Using the GATOS driver==<br />
===Getting the driver===<br />

Get the latest version of the [http://gatos.sf.net GATOS] ati.2 driver for your version of XFree86.<br />
The ati.2 driver is a replacement for the one provided with the respective XFree86 distribution.<br />
<br />
====Xorg====<br />
For Xorg the ati.2 drivers are already contained within the latest releases. Just copy them to the given directories. <br />
<br />
=== XServer configuration file ===<br />
The documentation for the driver explains, that you have to add a line to the device section of your graphics adapter:<br />
<br />
Option "TVOutput" "YYY"<br />
<br />
where <tt>YYY</tt> is replaced by the desired video norm. Options are:<br />
* NTSC<br />
* NTSC-J<br />

The tool uses the VESA Bios Extensions (VBE) which are initialized only once during power on. So if you want to use the TV-out, be sure to get the corresponding video device such as a tv connected before powering your ThinkPad.<br />
<br />
Under some circumstances the tool fails to communicate properly with the VBE Bios. By issuing {{cmd|atitvout -f t}} you activate the SVideo output port. The command {{cmd|atitvout -f l}} you change the graphics output back to the LCD.<br />
<br />
The atitvout doesn't seem to work on higher resolutions. To send a Xserver to a connected video device, it is possible to start a second Xserver e.g. with {{cmd|startx -- :1 -xf86config XF86Config-4_reduced-resolution}}.<br />
<br />
While this works very well for ordinary X applications, playing video files, say with mplayer or xine might result in wrong aspect ratio or otherwise distorted output.<br />
<br />
Switch to a text console (preferably a non framebufferd one) and issue an {{cmd|atitvout -f t}}. Then start {{cmd| mplayer -vo svga}} and the filename and other options needed. After enjoying the show, switch back with {{cmd|atitvout -f l}}.</div>Macfironhttps://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=How_to_get_TV-Out_working_on_ATI_graphic_cards&diff=7847How to get TV-Out working on ATI graphic cards2005-08-15T22:38:45Z<p>Macfiron: Didn't work</p>
<hr />
<div>This HOWTO should help you enable TV-Out support on your ATI Radeon or ATI Rage based ThinkPad.<br />
<br />
==Using the GATOS driver==<br />
===Getting the driver===<br />
====XFree86====<br />
Get the latest version of the [http://gatos.sf.net GATOS] ati.2 driver for your version of XFree86.<br />
The ati.2 driver is a replacement for the one provided with the respective XFree86 distribution.<br />
<br />
====Xorg====<br />
For Xorg the ati.2 drivers are already contained within the latest releases. Just copy them to the given directories. <br />
<br />
=== XServer configuration file ===<br />
The documentation for the driver explains, that you have to add a line to the device section of your graphics adapter:<br />
<br />
Option "TVOutput" "YYY"<br />
<br />
where <tt>YYY</tt> is replaced by the desired video norm. Options are:<br />
* NTSC<br />
* NTSC-J<br />
* PAL<br />
* PAL-CN<br />
* PAL-M<br />
* PAL-N<br />
* PAL-60<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a documentation of some of the installation and configuration steps required for installing Debian/Sarge on a Thinkpad A30p and getting the most out of it.<br />
<br />
== Basic installation ==<br />
<br />
The recommended procedure is, to get a Debian/Sarge DVD put it in the DVD-drive and boot from the DVD. Proceed with the installation as on an arbitrary computer.<br />
<br />
== Components ==<br />
<br />
=== ACPI ===<br />
<br />
For a detailed description of how to operate ACPI on IBM Thinkpads, take a look at [[How to make ACPI work]]. Further it explains the steps necessary to get suspend to ram and hibernation to work. (The combination {{key|Fn}}{{key|F12}} which should put your Thinkpad into hibernation doesn't generate the proper acpi event.)<br />
<br />
=== Xserver and TV-out ===<br />
<br />
The A30p is supplied with an ATI Radeon Mobility 7000 graphics adapter. It comes with a tv output and a tv input connector. The XFree86 supplied by [[Debian/Sarge]] contains a working ati driver which supports acceleration and DRI. However at [[http://gatos.sf.net GATOS]] you can find up to date OpenSource drivers for both, XFree86 and Xorg (while the 7.0 release should come along with the GATOS drivers).<br />
<br />
For information on the SVideo out read [[How to get TV-Out working on ATI graphic cards]].<br />
<br />
== Kernel ==<br />
<br />
This is a short summary on the kernel features needed on the A30p.<br />
The supplied kernel in Debian/Sarge is 2.6.8. It is advisable to get a newer Version. You can use either a newer debianized kernel or get a vanilla kernel. At the time this documentation is written, the latest known version is 2.6.12.4.<br />
<br />
Enable support for: ''(recommended: as '''M'''odule or '''S'''tatically compiled in )''<br />
<br />
* Modules and module unloading<br />
* Support for Pentium-III processor<br />
* ACPI ([[How_to_make_ACPI_work|how to make it work]]) '''S'''<br />

* i810 sound card '''M'''<br />
* nvram '''M'''<br />
* i2c '''M'''<br />
* AGP and radeon support '''M'''<br />
<br />
If using a debianized kernel, most features are compiled as modules. To get everything to work at boot you should put the according modules not detected by hotplug in {{path|/etc/modules}}:<br />
<br />

While i agree to your argument, i kept it on a separate page because putting it on all the relevant adapters pages would cause redundant editing needs when something changes. However, i did put the links where i thought applicable. Probably needs verification. [[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 17:49, 15 Aug 2005 (CEST)<br />
----<br />
<br />
Yesterday I managed to get my TV-Out running, but it wasn't by the ati.2 theatre_drv driver for the Xserver. Instead I used a small and unmaintained tool named atitvout. I think it should work on other Radeon / Rage cards.<br />
<br />
I have yet to test the theatre_drv variant, till now it didn't work as I expected. But I tried it with a second Xserver and perhaps that was the problem. I will try once more tomorrow running only one Xserver. By the documentation it should work, but my XFree.1.log said that the TVOutput Option was not used.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not sure how to proceed with the documentation. If I succeed with the Xserver module, I would continue as I begun, but if it doesn't work, I only have the atitvout variant. Any hints on how to proceed?<br />
