General / Re: TV1 out in my i915 freezes (GNU/Linux)

« on: January 07, 2017, 10:52:56 AM »

I downgraded from Trisquel Flidas (base on xenia)l to Trisquel Belenos (trusty) and now attract works great. I notice that the is a package called xserver-xorg-video-intel which I'm guessing made the difference.

Flidas was using 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1.1
and Belenos 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.6

Hope it helps some one out there too.

lspci | grep VGA shows:

Code: [Select]

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03)
glxinfo | grep -i vendor shows:

Code: [Select]

server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
    Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086)
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
I believe I'm using the open source driver. I tried Intel's driver too when I had the problem with wine but it gave me the same problems. It my not be the same issue thought.

General / TV1 out in my i915 freezes (GNU/Linux) [SOLVED]

« on: January 03, 2017, 10:38:42 PM »

Hello:

I'm using:

"Attract-Mode v2.2.0-3-dirty (Linux, SFML 2.3 +FontConfig +Xinerama +SWF +7z)

Using FFmpeg for Audio and Video.
avcodec 56.60.100 / avformat 56.40.101 / swscale 3.1.101 / swresample 1.2.101

Shaders are available."

On my GNU/Linux system base on Ubuntu, and when ever I try to use it on my TV1 out through s-video attract mode always frizzes.

I'm using the i915 driver at 640x480 59.94*+ in NTSC-M mode. All modes are 59.94 and I was thinking it might have something to do with it? Sorry I'm don't know much.

Advmame runs fine in TV1. I had a similar problem with wine, but updating it to a newer version solved the problem.

When I run attract mode in window mode, I can make it work on TV1 by leaving part of the window on LVDS1 in an extended desktop dual monitor configuration. However, if I move the window completely to TV1 the game stops working.

As I said, I had a similar problem with wine, where I had the problem with both MATE and gnome-fallback, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the GUI being use.

Sorry I'm not an expert, if someone could help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

P.S. If there is a log I could look for or a debug mode I can run to help please let me now. Thank you.
