I have a G450 and it works fine...(after some troubles).Processor type and features ---> [*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support Console drivers ---> Frame-buffer support ---> Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW) Matrox acceleration (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW) G100/G200/G400/G450/G550 support (NEW)
G450/G550 second head support (mandatory for G550)
First of all i have to know more about what you have already done and what already works and what not
- Did you follow the instructions listed under http://www.sci.fi/%7Esyrjala/directfb/matrox-tv-out-howto?
- Does mplayer work with -vo dfbmga?
If not follow the instructions in the link above. They worked fine for me.
Be shure to use the latest mplayer(i suggest cvs!!!) I had some troubles with older versions even v0.90 didn't work.
I did not need one of those commands at all. As far as i know these commands are for the g400 without directfb.
And entered this to enable TV-out:
matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -m 0 matroxset -f /dev/fb0 -m 3 matroxset -f /dev/fb0 -o 1 1
You have to use the directfb (dfbmga in mplayer) tvout for your g450.
Sorry i dont't know because i did not use it.
The last command gives the error: ioctl failed: Invalid argument
What does this mean?
I just copied the fbmodes from directfb to /etc/fbmodes see link above
If I don't enter the last '1' it says: Output mode is 128
Then I have tried a number of different fbset settings but non of them with nice picture on the TV. Anyone with a PAL TV and G450 that can share his fbset values that works?
If you have managed to get mplayer to work with your g450 and tv-out then and only then try to get freevo to get work.
I don't know if i did the easiest way to configure freevo but it finally worked.
i took the source version of freevo and made all the dependencies myself. make sure to use your own mplayer(cvs).
i compiled my own sdl but i do not know if this was necessary.
configure freevo to use dfbmga
thats all.
i hope this helped cya, rudi
