OK, I've got mplayer and TV-out working with dfbmga!! I was a bit confused when following the HOWTO because it did not fit with the new version of directfb (0.9.19), named patches did not exist etc. I followed it as far as I could and as you wrote, Aubin, it was easier with the new versions than those described in the how-to. Thanks for the help.
However, when I started Freevo, it stopped with the followin error: pygame.error: No available video device I'm using the following freevo.conf: chanlist = us-cable display = dfbmga geometry = 720x576 jpegtran = ./runtime/apps/jpegtran mplayer = /usr/local/bin/mplayer tv = pal tvtime = ./runtime/apps/tvtime/tvtime version = 2.0 When I configure SDL I get a message saying that pkg-config is missing and required to build DirectFB video driver. I guess this is why Freevo won't start. But I have pkg-config installed... Anyone that have an idea of what to do? /Bj�rn --- Aubin Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev: > DirectFB is actually much easier than it used to be. > You really just > need out of the box versions of DirectFB and SDL.
