Thanks a lot for this hint! I thought the Xv Extension can be used on both heads.
Isn't there a possibility to deactivate the first head to use its functions on the second head - doesn't the dfbmga driver from mplayer uses this method?

Now I understand why I were not able to compile it with this extension...
Sorry if I'm going a bit off topic, but what would be the best method to do what I want (accelerated TVout)?
I've read that the Matrox G400 is more flexible and that it's possible to swap heads on this card. Does it mean that I can use full accelerated graphics on my TV with this card?
Do I need DirectFB/XdirectFB to accomplish it with this card?
