I know this is WIP or not really even started. Tried working out things with somebody from the nouveau-project lately, but it seems that the TV-out-support for e.g. nv40 can't really help to code similar for nv50, that seems quite different. If I can somehow help test code etc. I'm willing to. Looking forward to "get the ball rolling" on this.
What we need is someone willing to do the reverse engineering and the coding. tv-out is a pretty low priority feature.
Any chance I can get traces which might help you "figure out some things"?
Not really, (wo)man power is the real issue. As i said earlier, it's low priority until someone cares.
It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report. In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one. Thanks, The Nouveau Team
