* RELEASE 0.1.034.4
* calibration released as source code under GPL. allblackbut.c
is derived from xlock-2.3 by Patrick J. Naughton, see its header.
* RedHat Linux 7.0 has kernel 2.2.16 with headers 2.4.0 :-(
2000-10-18 Emmanuel Michon <emmanuel_michon@sdesigns.com>
* realmagic8400.o porting to linux-2.4.0-test9 OK!
2000-10-17 Emmanuel Michon <emmanuel_michon@sdesigns.com>
* RELEASE 0.1.034.3
* incompatibilities with static X libraries between 3.3.6 and 4.0.1
(XF86VidModeGetModeLine from libXxf86vm.a from X 4.0.1 blocks
on 3.3.6). Release is linked against libXxf86vm.a from X 3.3.6.
* tested one bogus X server (Mach64 Rage XL or XC rev 101)
for which XF86VidModeSetViewPort garbles the screen.
Disabled calls to this functions, to autocalibrate with viewport
just join the top left corner with the mouse.
* bugreport script.
* autocalibrate script.
* created README.advanced.
* updated README.
* scripts changed a lot.
2000-10-16 Emmanuel Michon <emmanuel_michon@sdesigns.com>
* new loaddriver script.
* analog overlay autocalibration should be ok in
1280x1024, 1024x768 (best), 800x600, 640x480. Blurry
at 1600x1200.
* The miniplayer application is released under GNU GPL.
* The calibration application is released as binary only.
* The analog overlay graphic user interface was written
by Nicolas Vignal <nicolas_vignal@sdesigns.com>.
2000-10-12 Emmanuel Michon <emmanuel_michon@sdesigns.com>
* could play two DVDs at the same time in two
windows on VGA by chaining passthru cables.
* making the configuration files card-dependent to
allow support on multiple NetStream2000.
* testing the miniplayer windowing application.
* analog overlay autocalibration ok for 1024x768.
* small corrections to compile module for 2.4.0-test9
are not enough, open() fails. 2.4.x kernels not supported.
2000-10-11 Emmanuel Michon <emmanuel_michon@sdesigns.com>
* listening message queue now attaches to appropriate
$USE_REALMAGIC8400 device to allow multiple calibrations and
windowing apps.
* heavy testing of analog overlay autocalibration.
* most RPC1 DVD drives won't answer properly the
check RPC packet command
(a4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 08 00)
Verified failure on: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8583, Sony DDU220E
RPC2 drives answer properly. A harmless message is logged
by the kernel.
* tested two NetStream2000 accessing the same drive.
(dvdpc devices can now be opened twice)
* tested driver on linux 2.2.17, two NetStream2000,
two drives (/dev/hdc is IDE MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8583 and
/dev/scd0 is Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-303R). Playback of two
DVDs perfect; 12% CPU load on PIII 519MHz.
You need two remote controls also or different applications to
do so of course.
* FMPI_STANDARDTV disappears for a more complete
FMPI_VIDEOOUT setting.
* environment variable USE_DRIVE chooses the drive. On
kernels <= 2.2.15 do *not* use link names such as /dev/cdrom,
use real device name (/dev/hdb or other). On kernels >= 2.2.16,
you can use SCSI drives with /dev/scd0 for instance.
(default is /dev/hdc (secondary master)).
* environment variable USE_REALMAGIC8400 chooses the decoder
if there is more than one (up to six boards).
(default is /dev/realmagic0).
* environment variable USE_KERNEL_CDROM_SEND_PACKET set
to something indicates the driver it has to use this
CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl. (default is *not* to use it).
* added support for kernels with CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl
in cdrom stack (2.2.16, 2.2.17). With these kernels
SCSI drives are now supported. With these kernels the
dvdpacketcommand.o module is not needed, obsolete and
won't compile anyways.
