Talk:DVD and Enhanced Video Adapter (DEVA)
Tonko,
Thanks for adding your input. Just wondered if you remember more about what you tried when you played with the SAA7111A driver, and how far you got. As far as I can tell the chip is a codec attached to the Trident chipset, meaning any driver would have to know how the cyber9397DVD video capture worked and be able to use an i2c interface to the Philips chip.
For the TV out section I'll have a go at confirming what you can/can't do at some point, but no TV will make it tricky!
As for the DVD half I didn't know about that driver---interesting indeed. Again though, it's how you'd actually talk to it. Under Win98 It does actually show up as a PCI device, and has a "PCI-ish" IRQ and memory range. Invisible under linux, though.
