View Full Version : ATI 8500le TV-out under FC2

I'm in the process of building a MythTV machine under FC2. I have everything working except tv-out with my Radeon 8500le. I tried a few parameters in xorg.conf, "NoTV", "TVStandard", etc., but I still get a blank TV screen under X.

After some searching I figured I'd try the ATI drivers as described here (http://fedorafaq.org/#radeon). I'm ok until I run "sh make_install.sh". This is what I get:

---------------------
OK1
(completing current path to be a root path)

OK2
- creating symlink
- recreating module dependency list
./make_install.sh: line 342: 2989 Segmentation fault depmod failed.
----------------------

'depmod' from the command line results in a seg fault too. I've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.8-1.521 following the MythTV HOWTO. I've also installed ndiswrapper 0.11 from source to get my wireless PCI card working (DWL-G510). I tried installing the ATI driver without loading ndiswrapper and still get the error.

- Is the ATI driver the way to go, or can I get by without it? I have a 7000 card I can try if necessary.

- If I need the ATI drivers...help please!

- With ndiswrapper it sounds like I'll have to either recompile the kernel with a larger stack or install one from Linuxant (http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php). Will the Linuxant RPM get along with my MythTV setup?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
