Original AIW Radeon works fine for 2D/3D but cannot view video overlays from any input. Using most recent xawtv snapshot. Once in a while I see a flicker of video, while the log rapidly grows with line after line of: (II) RADEON(0): Rage Theatre setting standard 0x0000 It seems like it's continuously initializing the overlay.
Created attachment 4153 [details] Complete Xorg server log file gdm starts at boot. Logged in, ran xawtv for a few seconds, quit xawtv.
The AIW vivo/tv stuff does not provide a v4l compatible video interface, this v4l apps like xawtv won't work. the video stuff is provided via Xv. IIRC, the only app you can use to view AIW video is the one provided by the gatos project: http://gatos.sourceforge.net/avview.php
AAview required for using video on AIW.
xawtv worked just fine with 6.8.2. It definitely supports the AIW overlay. I was running the most recent stable (3.94 I think) until I installed 7.0.0, at which point I tried the CVS version. I'll give avview a shot when I get home, but something is definitely wrong. It really does appear that something is stuck in a reinitialization loop. Did you see the flood of messages at the end of that server log?

I'm not sure if the gatos developers really use this bugzilla very much.
OK, I don't mind playing comm relay. Thought GATOS was merged into Xorg as of 7.0.0?? Whose doorstep should I be haunting? Thanx.

Did you manage to get any information from the GATOS folks?
