Dear VDR folks,

there is a request for testing on the intel-gfx list for patches enabling interlaced modes [1].

After porting the driver to KMS interlaced modes did not work anymore and the patches enable support again. So Intel hardware seems to even more suited for a HTPC.

15:48 < danvet> yeah, together with libva an recent intel gpu should make a nice htpc 15:49 < danvet> although we don't support tv-out on ilk and later 15:49 < danvet> but iirc rodrigo vivi is working on that

Daniel Vetter told me to remind you that these patches are experimental though and will (only) land in Linux 3.4. So to test them you will have to build the Linux kernel yourself.

Maybe frame rate control patches from Thomas Hilber and VGA2SCART will also get upstream in the feature if somebody gets her/his hands dirty porting those.

Thanks,

Paul
