Hi,

first of all, as far as i remember you have to compile a new sdl. i think you do not need to patch it any more. but you still have to replace your runtime/dll/libSDL-1.2.so.0

i did not get such problems when configuring the sdl.
but i found following link which described the same problem:;
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01252.html

check if sdl configure script says directfb= ok or something like that
thats all i can say out of my mind because my working box is at home :(

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?

is actually much easier than it used to be.


You really just
need out of the box versions of DirectFB and SDL. If
your distribution
provides directfb support in SDL you might not need
to build anything.

I was going to try DirectFB later but wanted to

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
