Apologies if this is in the archives somewhere (if it is, I couldn't find
it).

Is it possible to run DirectFB for TV-Out on a Matrox Marvel G200 card?
Last time I tried I got as far as compiling and trying to run:

(*) parsing config file '/etc/directfbrc'.
---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.19 ---------------------
(c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH
(c) 2002 convergence GmbH
-----------------------------------------------------------
(*) Single Application Core. (with MMX support) (2003-08-20 23:34)
(*) DirectFB/misc/memcpy: using MMX optimized memcpy()
(*) DirectFB/InputDevice: Keyboard 0.9 (convergence integrated media GmbH)
(*) MMX detected and enabled
(*) DirectFB/GraphicsDevice: Matrox G200 0.6 (convergence integrated media
GmbH)
(*) DirectFB/Layer: Enabled 'FBDev Primary Layer'.
df_video.c <81>:
(#) DirectFBError [dfb->GetInputDevice( dfb, DIDID_MOUSE, &mouse )]: ID
notfound!

Might have something to do with the mouse, although the interesting bit
comes when I try to run MPlayer with DirectFB:

...
(*) DirectFB/Layer: Enabled 'FBDev Primary Layer'.
Can't get CRTC2 layer - Not Supported!
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

I realise that of course the G200 doesn't have a CRTC2. :)


My question is: Is there a nice HOWTO or something on how to get this to
work on a G200? I have matroxfb up and running fine, got Freevo on the
box, but the next version (or MythTV) requires X, and apparently X-FBDev
isn't all that fast (?).

And yes, I'm a total DirectFB newbie, plus it's been a while since I
played around with linux in general, apart from the occasional server
updates.

Thankful for help,
/ Niklas
