RFT - Request For Help/patch takeover
I've taken a stab at porting HDMI support from the radeonhd driver onto the radeon driver. Mind you this is my first video patch, so not sure if it was done properly. I kept telling myself I was going to finish this during my night hours but my night hours are now reserved. So if it is at least done some-what right was hoping someone could take this on themselves and complete it... The missing piece should be the generic HDMI stuff which I thought was not required but in fact is. as far as i have read the patch you are still missing some quite essential stuff. The generic hdmi stuff is not only for the encoder/transmitter setup, but also for audio clock recovery and feeding
Hi, Am Freitag, den 24.07.2009, 13:12 -0400 schrieb Luis R. Rodriguez: the television with the right audio parameters (sampling rate, bit per sampel etc.). I always wondered when somebody starts to port this over to radeon. I considered doing it myself, but as far as i know the radeon driver it's relying complete on atombios to do the tmdsa and lvtma transmitter setup, and at least for hdmi support that's bad. I fought quite allot with radeonhd to get atombios+hdmi support running at the same time, for RV630 i reverted to move setting a missing bit with the TMDSA and LVTMA control register to the hdmi enabling function, but i couldn't find a good solution for my RS780 (with DIG interface). Maybe i am just not feeding the right values to atombios so it can set the registers right, but since even fglrx revert to programming the registers directly i assume that atombios is simply not capable of doing this. Beside from that i don't have time to support another implementation of this stuff, so i am sorry but at least i can't take it over.
