This seams to me a never ending story - I tried to make a quiet VDR
based on Epia, with maximum acceleration, the chipset (cle266) can do,
but it is not working.
The base is a Debian etch (standard - most components are installed by
apt-get) with the latest drivers offered at viaarena.
I followed the HowTo (vdr-portal thread Postid 562388), but this is
dealing with older versions of the components - I do not get the same
results.
This are the versions, I'd like to use:
Kernel 2.6.18-4-686
latest FB-Modul from viaarena (Linux-FBDev-kernel-src_2.6.00.03a) with
accel.h-Patch
VDR 1.4.7
libcle266mpegdec-0.5
DirectFB-1.0.0
DFB++-1.0.0
ffmpeg is not self-compiled. It comes out of the etch-distri :

It seems to be a problem with the alpha channel option in the
unichrome-gfxdriver - I do not know, why softdevice is testing the
unichrome driver as well, if it's started with -vo dfb:cle266. But I
tracked the origin of the error back to the function osdTestRegion in
the unichrome-uc_primary.c file. Options are 0x01 - which means Alpha,
but this seams not to be supported.
directfb is:

Is there somebody out in the jungle, who can explain me the strange
output of softdevice/directfb?
Maybe, this is solved somewhere, but I googled two days without success.
In march, someone from France asked nearly the same in the dfb mailing
list. The answer was just to use the latest softdevice - what I did. But
there was also a hint about the ARGB pixel format, which has been never
supported by DirectFB, and now is explicitly denied. Possible the
solution can be found in that area.
The directfb-examples are running fine, softdevice with vesa-fb is
running (not fine, but running), but softdevice via directfb on
Epia-Hardware is still a challenge.
