I'm using a single G550 providing dual head, one monitor for XFree86 and one monitor is the TV (or would be if I could get this to work)... So far I have the matrox kernel modules presenting two framebuffers, with X in fb0 and fb1 "spare" for media. My aim is to run freevo "dumb" (don't care about keyboard input) on fb1 and leave the rest of the PC useable on fb0 with X, VT switching etc without disturbing fb1 and freevo No problem using mplayer by itself - but using freevo with the fbcon driver, two things happen: 1) It wants to be started from a real VT (not a random X term) - that's soluble with a suitable inittab 2) When I switch VT back to X or anywhere else, any attempt to control freevo using "freevo remote" will hang freevo waiting for its VT to come back (I can see that in strace). I know why that happens for typical usage, but it's irrelevant in my case, as freevo is driving it's own personal framebuffer. Before I go to the trouble of patching the fbcon driver in SDL to not do VT_ ioctls I was wondering if directfb was more likely to achieve what I want.
