Hi there, I'm building a MythTV box on Gentoo (Kernel 2.6.17) - my graphics adapter is a Matrox G550 with a VGA to Scart-RGB cable which I soldered for myself. I tried many different howtos to activate the TV output of my Matrox G550 (PAL) but the only working solution seems to be XDirectFB. Because the ebuilds in Gentoo are broken I manually compiled the latest XDirectFB from CVS using Xorg monolithic 6.8.2. Everything seems to work - I can start MythTV on my TV and am getting a sharp and colorful picture.
The only thing I can't use is the xv accelaration by playing videos either on mplayer or MythTV. I've read in the CVS mailinglist that xv is now possible with XDirectFB and any Matrox card. But trying to play a video with mplayer using xv outputs the following error: ----------------------------------- Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0". It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available. Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv! See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11 Fehler beim Ãffnen/Initialisieren des ausgewählten Videoausgabetreibers (-vo). ----------------------------------- If I look into the file xc/config/cf/directfb.cf I can see that the extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" is indeed disabled, but xv is enabled. If I enable the missing extension, the compile process stops with an error. How can I activate the xv extension for mplayer and MythTV without using the above extension. Or if I really need the "XFree86-VidModeExtension", how can I compile XDirectFB using this extension without any complications? Thanks in advance for your help! relkai -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problems-using-xv-with-XDirectFB-tf2492982.html#a6950149 Sent from the DirectFB Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
