I am trying to use MPlayer (latest CVS) on DirectFB 0.9.9 on my G400. I have my TV plugged into the 2nd head on the G400 and have rerouted CRTC1 to the second head with the matroxset utility that comes with MPlayer.
This setup works fine if I have Mplayer use the framebuffer without directfb or use the mga overlay video driver. However when I try to use directfb, the picture has (slightly) diagonal horizontal bands that are either blue or green tinted. I suspect that this is because all of the fb.modes that come with directfb are 75Hz modes and this is overdriving the TV. This is just a suspicion though. Feel free to tell me I am wrong. :-) I am trying to play, usually, 640x480 mpeg1 files. So a couple of questions... 1. Does anyone have any NTSC working fb.modes entries they would like to give me to try? I have an 800x600 mode that seems to work alright with the raw framebuffer or mga MPlayer drivers, so my next question... 2. Is there a way to force directfb to use an 800x600 fb mode even though the video I am playing with mplayer is only 640x480? Thanx, b. -- Brian J. Murrell
