To get Radeon docs you have to register with ATI and then request them: http://apps.ati.com/developers/devform1.asp Follow this by praying to the moon for two months and making various sacrifices. Send numerous follow-ups singing the praises of ATI. After the appropriate amount of groveling they might let you have the doc under NDA. I've only been sucessful in getting full Rage128-AIW docs. No luck yet with Radeon docs, but I have only been groveling for nine months now. 95% of my contacts with their dev relations are never returned, but every once in a while I get lucky. On the other hand, most of what you need to know can be extracted from the Gatos/Katos project. Most of the I2C devices are standard chips and you can simply get the datasheets from the various manufacturers. TDA8425 (sound) and BT879 (video capture) http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/TDA8425.html#datasheet http://www.conexant.com/products/entry.jsp?id=272 The AIW cards can be had pretty cheap, I have a Rage128 AIW PCI so that I can run my AGP Radeon in the same machine. This lets me switch between working on Rage and Radeon in same machine. Radeon 7000 AIW PCI $61 - http://www.fticomputer.com/cgis/detail.cgi?product=VB-ATI-AIW7000&ses=&cat=VB AGP versions can be had for $50. Search pricewatch for radeon/wonder or AIW. You can get 9800 AIW but it is expensive. I can't find Rage AIW ones anymore, but don't dismiss Rage. I just bought a Dell last week that came with a Rage128 integrated into the motherboard. --- Kronos wrote: > Il Sat, Aug 23, 2003 at 08:57:28AM -0700, Jon Smirl ha scritto: > > I merged in Radeon EDID with my ROM based Radeon driver.
