according to the mplayer docu -vo mga isn�t possible with the g450 and tvout. Try the directfb method instead it should provide the best results in quality and easy configuration.

if you have experiences with compiling your own kernel the howto http://www.sci.fi/%7Esyrjala/directfb/matrox-tv-out-howto isn�t that difficult...

I was going to try DirectFB later but wanted to start
with the 'easy' way. And as you see there's already
trouble...

I'll try with the matrox-TV-out-HOWTO tonight.

I have a G450 and it works fine...(after some
troubles).
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.






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




I did not need one of those commands at all. As far
as i know these commands are for the g400 without directfb.
You have to use the directfb (dfbmga in mplayer)
tvout for your g450.




The last command gives the error:
ioctl failed: Invalid argument

What does this mean?



Sorry i dont't know because i did not use it.



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?



I just copied the fbmodes from directfb to
/etc/fbmodes  see link above



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
