In this case you have a single card with two outputs. The Matrox is the only supported multi head solution right now. You should disable the second head support in the kernel. Then you have /dev/fb0 only. DirectFB will use this device and handle the second head directly, but only in TV mode. Have a look at mails in our archive about Matrox dual head support. You simply have different layers representing the different heads. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
