Hello Mark,

I experienced similar problems. I migrated from SuSE to Gentoo this week.

I'm pretty sure I've done everything in the list archive.

Patched the kernel with vsync (although I dont think this is necessary if you are using the newer mplayer triple switch.

I'm using mplayer 0.90-r5 under gentoo. I applied the latest dfbmga patch to this (this provided triple and fixed a problem with spic)

Mplayer works fine under dfbmga on its own.

To get it working you applied the following patch, didn't you?

http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/vo_dfbmga_update.patch

Without it, the mplayer only works using '-vo dfbmga:nospic' (at least for me).

my frewevo.conf contains

display = dfbmga
geometry = 720x480
tv = pal
I've also used 720x576 with no luck

/etc/directfbrc

atrox-crtc2
matrox-tv-standard=pal
primary-layer=2

I'm using sdl 1.25 which I believe no longer needs the patch. ( did try the patch, but I was getting Fuzz 1)

It depends on the DirectFB-version whether the patch is needed (or not). >=0.9.19 should be fine.

echo $SDL_VIDEODRIVER

When I run freevo I get this

Traceback (most recent call last):

I found out that the ebuild for libsdl is the problem; at the moment it disables the DirectFB-support to avoid circular dependencies (SDL-DirectFB-SDL). I changed the ebuild by hand to get DirectFB-support. It's just commented out. Remove the comment marks and do a 'emerge libsdl'.

I think, that fixed it for me...

Markus
