[Xorg-driver-ati] Bug#388737: xserver-xorg-video-ati: TV-in black screen on Theatre 200 / radeon 8500

[David Liontooth]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.2-2
Severity: normal


xawtv clearly takes control of the tuner and everything appears to be working behind the scenes, but the screen remains black.

Details:

The GATOS site http://gatos.sourceforge.net/supported_cards.php says,

All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500DV (Radeon200) -- Should work fine with 4.2.0 or later drivers. XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay and scaling) should 
work fine. TV-in works in NTSC. Video capture should work.

dmesg says,

Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Setting up Nforce3 AGP.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf0000000
agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.

# grep multimedia Xorg.0.log says (let me know if you want more detail),

When I start xawtv with no parameters I get a black screen, but Xorg.0.log shows something is working 
(I should mention I have several other working cards in the same box, so I know the signal is good). 
Video source Television is not accepted, and 'tuner' flips to 'composite' every time I change channel.

I don't see any errors, but there's no picture. This is NTSC with us-cable. I have three additional different types of tv grabber 
cards in the same box and they all work fine -- all PCI cards, while the Radeon is in the AGP slot.

I don't know enough to give a more useful bugreport -- I just don't see what could be going wrong.
