Are you sure it's actually reading the config file on the first run?
Well, now that you ask that, I'm not. But why shouldn't it read the config file? On the other hand, I noticed that somehow I have to start, stop and start again freevo to actually see the result I expected from the config file setting (RGB with switching, composite without switching). Haven't tried yet with let's say, just plain mplayer to see if it behaves the same and this behaviour is due to directfb. Will check later today, right now I can't, I'll have to go out and look for a wall mount for my new satellite dish :-).

I would have expected to be able to use this setting for resetting the switching signal applied on the scart, but there must be something still wrong in that part of the code, maybe some unclean initialized flags, when setting the maven registers to do so. Until we won't get that fixed, it wouldn't make sense for me to try to implement this "on the fly switching" feature I started this thread with.
You have to compare the registers values and
Didn't quite finished your idea here? If so, please continue, maybe you tell me more how I could look for the actual register values...
4. Even sranger: The setting "matrox-cable-type=scart-composite" changed after once have runned directfb with scart-rgb, gives a red and black image (so there is obviously a wrong-initialized RGB-mode with missing G+B components instead of composite over scart).
Does scart-composite work in Windows? I have no idea how it's supposed to differ from plain composite. I have my TV hooked up via composite going through SCART but I just use the plain composite option.
It works, without switching, that would be impossible because Matrox does not provide such a signal, it's only this hack http://www.muresan.de/VGA-RGB_SCART_switching.png out of the RGB_EN signal that can achieve switching, and only during RGB_EN active, so it's only working with scart-rgb, if there would be a RGB_EN signal during composite output, a TV would want to display RGB. Maybe that's what's happening when my image gets red-black. So it works the same way here, the plain composite option, and the scart-composite option work the same when connected over scart cable. It also worked the same with the original Matrox cable adapter hookt just on composite cable (in that case, I always have a composite signal, no matter what option is used in the config file).
Talk again later, bye. Lucian
