xvidix can no longer detect my radeon chip a RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]

[adrianm2@…]

I upgraded to head 22920, from 22217 and now I get no video. I waited awhile and tried again with 22992 still nothing.

I figured out that detection fails because my radeon chip is not included in radeon_vid.c eventhou it is in pci_ids.h. I have a patch which makes the radeon driver detect my chip again, but I have no real understanding of the side effects. However I can play videos with the patch, and nothing seems wrong to me.

Patch is forth comming.

I have included the some of the common debugging below

1. broken mplayer
2. xdpyinfo
3. libhda/test
4. lspci

Patch to allow mplayer to detect my radeon chip

[adrianm2@…]

Straight forward 2 line patch, but I know very little about mplayer. After applying this patch I can play videos, and I did not see anything bad happen.

[adrianm2@…]

OK I upgraded to 23164 and now xvidix can detect my radeon chip.

A quick read of the patch 22923 shows that it makes the same changes as the attached patch, plus lots lots more.

So fixed.
