Hollywood Plus Card, Setting: pixeldata_adjust_pal

[hede]

I use MMS 1.1 RC3 with DXR3-Output (REALmagic Hollywood plus).
Sometime the colour red and blue are swapped and sometimes everything looks fine. I tried all the settings for the "pixeldata_adjust_pal" option and I used the tool dxr3config.
I think it is absolutely randomly if the colours are swapped or look fine.
Starting a video from harddisk -> everything looks fine, stopping and starting the same video again without doing anything else -> the colours are swapped ?!?!

To my experience, randomly swapped colors happen with broken
"pixeldata_adjust_*" values (generally 0 ou 2, while 1 and 3 are either
stable good or stable swapped).
Sorry if the question sounds stupid, but you told you used all the
settings for "pixeldata_adjust_pal"; did you actually try the 4
possible values? Do you get the same random behavios with all? And are
you not using NTSC?


Cheers,

Hi,
no, I am not using NTSC.
Yes, I tested all the 4 values and probably you are right.
When I configure my DXR3-Card with the tool dxr3config (you know it?) and set the pixeldata_adjust_pal value to 0 or 2 the colours swap randomly. pixeldata_adjust_pal = 1 causes always wrong red and blue colours. And when I set pixeldata_adjust_pal to 3, everything seems to be fine (dxr3config writes the file /etc/modprobe.d/em8300:
install em8300 /sbin/modprobe adv717x && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install em8300
remove em8300 /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove em8300 && /sbin/modprobe -r adv717x
options adv717x pixelport_16bit=0 pixelport_other_pal=1  pixeldata_adjust_pal=3
options em8300 dicom_fix=1 dicom_control=1 dicom_other_pal=1 audio_driver=oss

But after a new system start, red and blue swaped randomly, but the file /etc/modprobe.d/em8300 is not changed.
What other files are imported???

That sounds hard to tell; any file in /etc/modprobe.d is included, just
like /etc/modprobe.conf...
What do you have in /sys/class/em8300/em8300-0/device/model? It gives
the current set of parameters and should confirm that they are not the
parameters specified in your /etc/modprobe.d/em8300 file.
(Note that it is even more interesting since you seem to have a model of
card that I do not know yet...)
