Hi!!
Finally, I found a way to make my All In Wonder 9600XT work under K/Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06 (and Gentoo 2006.1)!!
After a lot of trial, here's how I did it!
The All In Wonder 9600XT is based on ATI's Theatre 200 video capture and encoding chip ... check here and here
to know more about this multimedia card!!
First, download (with Synaptic or Adept) everything in relation with xserver-xorg-...., X11-..., X11proto...etc and particularly xserver-xorg-ATI.
Go into your motherboard BIOS ("Advanced Menu" "Chip Configuration") and set those following options this way::
AGP Performance Control Enabled (optional)
AGP Disk Write Control Enabled
Video Memory Cache Mode [USWC] (optional)(Activating this option causes fuzzy horizontal lines on my screen! Check if your Graphic Card support it!)
The most important option to enable is AGP Disk Write Control ..... otherwise your screen will freeze when you'll start AVView!
More about these options here and here
And now here's the most important part to make TV Capture work!
Your All In Wonder must be already installed under Windows!
Go to your Windows partition and copy this file " ativmc20.cod"
(this module will necessary to capture TV Channels)... (and it still doen't exist under Linux)
It should be located here :::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ativmc20.cod
copy it to your K/Ubuntu partition in
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia/
and rename it rt2_pmem.bin
$ cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia
$ sudo mv ativmc20.cod rt2_pmem.bin
$ dir /
$ dir /usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia
bt829_drv.so rt2_pmem.bin tda9885_drv.so theatre_drv.so
fi1236_drv.so tda8425_drv.so theatre200_drv.so uda1380_drv.so
msp3430_drv.so tda9850_drv.so theatre_detect_drv.so
Your graphic card driver must be Radeon ATI (Xorg modular 7.0 or 7.1) and not ATI fglrx!!
Now edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add the following option "AGPFastWrite" in the Section "Device"
$ sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup_dateoftheday
$ sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device.............
......
....
Option "AGPFastWrite" "1"
......
......
EndSection
For exemple, here's my copy of xorg.conf file::
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
Now download and compile AVView and ffmpeg! (it is not necessary to install it)
Download ffmeg-0.4.8 :
$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir Downloads
$ cd Downloads
Download ffmpeg-0.4.8 from http://www.escomposlinux.org/lfs-es/...ia/ffmpeg.html
$ wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...g-0.4.8.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf ffmpeg-0.4.8.tar.gz
$ cd ffmpeg-0.4.8
ffmpeg is tricky to configure! you will have to adjust the make and cflags options according to your own hardware (CPU)!
I have an AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Also I have not figured out how to configure mingw32 and faad options (just don't include them)
Check here ::: http://gentoo-wiki.com/CFLAGS and http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags
(I tested ffmpeg under Gentoo ... but it also compile fine under K/Ubuntu) (Take note that ffmpeg doesn't compile with gcc-4.0... so use gcc-3.4)
$ ./configure --cc=gcc-3.4 --cpu=athlon-xp --extra-cflags=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe --enable-mp3lame --enable-vorbis --enable-a52 --enable-pp --enable-shared-pp --enable-shared
or more safely
./configure --cc=gcc-3.4 --cpu=athlon-xp --extra-cflags=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe --enable-mp3lame --enable-vorbis
$ make
Download AVView here http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=12629
$ cd $HOME/Downloads
$ wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...-0.80.7.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf avview-0.80.7.tar.gz
$ cd avview-0.80.7
the --cc= option doesn't exist in avview so I will use gcc-3.4 this way:::
$ export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4
$ ./configure --with-ffmpeg=$HOME/Downloads/ffmpeg-0.4.8
$ makeuser@user-desktop:~/Downloads/avview-0.80.7$ ./configure --with-ffmpeg=$HOME/Downloads/ffmpeg-0.4.8

ALSA support yes
Movie recording enabled
Path to compiled ffmeg source /home/user_name/Downloads/ffmpeg-0.4.8
Binaries will be installed in ${exec_prefix}/bin

./start_avview.no_install
(under Gentoo I have to start it twice before it works)
---------------------------------------------------------
(optional)
If you want to install it
just do: (you must be root)
$ sudo make install
and to uninstall
$ sudo make uninstall
---------------------------------------------------------
To start it from your desktop just add this command with an icon!
The AVView window will appear
Select Control Window in the menu
Encoding must read NTSC-tuner (for local capture)(with an antenna)
Select Alsa Mixer and choose your sound card ... do the adjustment
Sound will be located in LINE
Now my television work fine ....but I can't record anything!!! ..... yet!!!
When I'am clicking on RECORD it tells me::::
"Looking for km device that corresponds to PCI:01:00.0"
The program search for KM module (GATOS)!! (which we are not using)
and I just don't know where is located my tuner in /dev ?
Someone have any idea about it?????
Also I still have not figured out how to make the FM tuner work! (I don't know where is my tuner in /dev)
