Hi, my name is Oliver Schwartz, I'm the maintainer of a number of graphic drivers for the XBox-Linux project (http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net ).
I've added support for video overlays for NVidia chipsets in DirectFB. The driver is still in it's early stage and not very well tested. It is proven to work for DVD playback via mplayer on XBox. Although I've only run it on XBox it should work on any other NVidia card as well (with a small modification, see below). I've put a patch against DirectFB-0.9.17 online. You can download it from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xbox-linux/DirectFB-xbox.patch.gz?download The driver contains a XBox specific register setting which is necessary because of the shared memory architecture on XBox. For plain NVidia graphics adapter you need to change line 618ff of nvidia_overlay.c (uncomment line 618, comment out line 620). This will hopefully be unneccessary once the xbox can be identified by the driver. I'd appreciate feedback on the driver. I'd also like to know what additional steps are required to get it integrated into the official CVS tree.
