Running sensors-detect, “Probing Super I/O” found the chip.

The really big annoying problem with ST62K is TV out. So far, I have only managed to use TV out with the vesa driver. But where’s the fun in that, as you don’t get Xv etc. ST62K can be a great, monitorless, TV-connected HTPC, if only someone finds a way to get proper TV-out (with hardware scaling etc working).

This is a good page too:

Still, it would be nice to get a proper X driver working with TV-out (in order to use tvtime for example, and to adjust the size/pos of the picture etc).

On other system, i used atitvout but this doesn’t seems to work right now. And it’s un-maintained too ..

And thanks for making me notice the new kernel option SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support. Kernel’s been recompiled, and consider I owe you a beer ;)

PS: lspci still gives you "Unknown devices", did you upgrade to the last version?

I saw some strange slowdown under heavy IO. I guess i should try with another OS like DragonFlyBSD which has a totally different approach.

For the lspci output, yes i get some ‘Unknow’ this is strange but lspci use official BusID, and this chipsets aren’t register yet on the right database. (i lost the url)

For the beer, yeah i’m ok too :)

Make sure TV pal/ntsc is set correct in your BIOS. I don’t have to do anything to get TV-output, it’s simply there when I switch on the TV.

I haven’t noticed any problems with the HT.

A new ATI proprietary driver has been released on 8/5/2004. It’s version 3.11.1. No information on the IGP cards in the release notes.

In fact i get a ‘-1 No such device’ while inserting the kernel module. As this driver is binary only, we are unable to patch it :(

I sent a ticket to the ATI tech support .. hope to get a answer soon ..
