http://amd.colony.ee/pmwiki.php?pagename=Main.Atitvout has 4 patches that expand on the unmaintained atitvout package to allow support for more ATI graphics cards. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Well I can't really test these patches (aside from applying and compiling of course) but I'll look into getting them added.
I did test them, and they work. They're all just a couple of lines each so you can easily determine what each does. The patches are also already a part of the atitvout package in NetBSD ports, so they do work. I spoke to the atitvout author and he does not want to integrate the patches and release a new version as he has officially abandoned the project. I am discussing with him the possibility of taking over the project.
Any chance you can submit a modified ebuild that uses a small patch tarball to apply those? You can attach them here and I'd QA-verify and add the bump to portage. Thanks.
Nevermind. I just added 0.4-r1 to the tree with said patches.
Please add also the lrmi program and make atitvout-0.4-r1 as stable on x86: http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/pipermail/linuxpresario900/2004-May/002026.html
