I have a G550. I have directfb 0.9.19 (from debian unstable), mplayer
from cvs (I currently use MPlayer dev-CVS-030815-20:17-3.3.1) and a
clean unpatched 2.4.22.
I run XFree86 (I insist :) ). When I want to watch something on
tv-out, I start mplayer with
mplayer -vo dfbmga:input -vop expand=-30:-30:15:18
:input is needed, otherwise I can't control mplayer with keyboard. The
-vop thing is just there because the overscan is a bit too big (and
apparently not vertically centered) on my tv. It works great. Can't
use XFree86 while running mplayer, but when mplayer ends, everything
returns nicely back to normal.
I do not use xmga when I want to watch stuff in XFree86. Maybe it
works now, maybe it doesn't, but it has hanged my system before, when
that mga_vid module was loaded.
I really have no idea how to think when it comes to framebuffers,
vt-switching, layers, heads, crtc1/2. I am happy I managed to
configure something that works.
This is my config:
cat /etc/directfbrc
