I should mention that I am running the 2.6.3-rc3 kernel, and cannot revert to 2.4 without breaking the remote control to my TV-card (any plans for downporting the programmable input layer to 2.4? no? oh well..).
I run gentoo 1.4 recently sync'ed and updated. I am using DirectFB 0.9.20 (gentoo version), libSDL 1.2.7 with a tv-out patch I found over at the DirectFB lists. Previous to applying said patch, freevo would bum out with an "unsupported pixelformat" error, which turned out to originate in the SDL library and required a patch to set the layer cooperative level previous to initiating the screen.. As you can see from the log, this error now seems to be fixed.
I have turned off the first head, using matroxset, pointed the second one at both outputs, and set this to PAL. Using the settings borrowed from another knowleable person on this list, I set the following variables:
SDL_DIRECTFB_MGA_CRTC2=1 SDL_DIRECTFB_MGA_OVERSCAN=1 SDL_DIRECTFB_MGA_STRETCH=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb SDL_VIDEO_YUV_HWACCEL=1
my directfbrc looks like this:
matrox-crtc2 matrox-tv-standard=pal primary-layer=2
in freevo.conf I've tried the directfb, dfmga and mga drivers but with the same result in all cases. Really hoping for some help here, cause I am running out of stamina..
Oh and lastly, the problem occurs in all versions of freevo I've tested including CVS and 1.5
The full errortext is:
