Hello, I am playing with an EPIA board. After some struggles with gettiung X to run on the TV, I decided to try the framebuffer mode.
I have everything pretty much working (Freevo menu, 800x600 screen size, etc.), except when I play video files, they are not played full screen. Instead, they are played in a small window that is centered in the middle of the TV screen. Would this be an issue with the framebuffer driver (I am using the epiafb.o module from <http://epia.sf.net>, although I am running under 'fbdev' in Freevo. My frambuffer lines (the ones I use to get into framebuffer mode) look like this: modprobe fbgen modprobe epiafb fbset -g 800 600 800 600 32 /usr/local/epifb/tvout -b ntsc The Freevo main menu itself looks pretty good (there's just a small black strip across the top. It's only whne playing video files that I have an issue. Any light you can help shed on this matter is appreciated. Or, if you require further info, please let me know what you need, and I will see what I can do about getting it for you. Thank you, in advance. Alan P.S.: The main reason I want to try to continue to use framebuffer mode isn't so much to do with my current failure to get X Windows output on my TV. It's more to do with the fact that Freevo responds much quicker in framebuffer mode than X Windows (from what I could test when I was running it on the monitor). However, the skin colouring is *so* much more vibrant in X than from frambuffer (in framebuffer, it looks kinda aqua-coloured, and in X, it looks like a really awesome blue!) Out of curiousity, would performance under X be more a function of CPU or RAM? There's not much I can do about the CPU, but I can add more RAM to the 128MB already in there. Thanks, again! ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
