I appologize if I am sending this to the wrong list, but it's really a question about the savage driver in DirectFB and not mythtv itself.

I'm trying to get MythTV working with framebuffer but I'm having a DriectFB issue.

Currently I'm running:
DirectFB 0.9.22 with multi core fusion support (fusion 1.1)
QT-Embedded 3.3.4
MythTV 0.18.1

Mythfrontend with QTE works great.  I can even see the recorded movie preview in the Watch Recording screen.  But when I go to play actual video, either a recording or live tv, I get the following myth error in the log.

NOTE:  The AMA lines were added by myself just to test if some methods were beign called.

My Question: Is this a savage driver issue?  Does this chipset not support a video layer or am I just not setting this up correctly?

Here are some more DirectFB logs from at the framebuffer console:
