I've been using DirectFB (and XDirectFB) for a while now, and its very nice.
But alot of the time I get whats best described as tearing when playing video
on tv out (I also get it on my monitor when using "nocrtc2:bes", but not as 
badly) (I don't get any tearing when using -vo mga)

I've tried with virtualy all combinations of buffer/field parity/ntsc/pal and 
even with and without the mgavsync patch and I still get it :(

It seems to be particualy bad with 23.98fps video, so I'm thinking its a 
problem with frame rate stuff, but that doesn't explain why it happens with
25fps video on pal(50hz)

Sometimes the tearing stays for the entire length of the video, and sometimes
it comes and goes, this is with the exact same video file and the exact same
settings.

Does anybody know a solution to this problem? :(

Heres some info: 
Using a Matrox G400 32MB Dual Head card with a rgb-scart cable
Using CVS DirectFB from about a month ago and CVS Mplayer from about the
same time
Using Athlon XP 2000+ with 512MB ram.
Tried and Tested the cable/card in windows 2k and it works okay
I'm tried kernel 2.4.22-ac3, 2.4.22 and 2.4.20 with and without the vsync 
patch.
I've tried in and out of Xdirectfb, and all the times i've tested the cpu
has had no load (Except for mplayer) on it.

Thanks for reading :)

(Sorry if this has been solved before, but I did read through some of the
mailing list archives, the only "solution" i found was todo with field 
parity, which i'd already tired)
