Ok, so it is my turn to ask for help!
I pulled my geforce card and decided that it was time to use my G400 again. I have successfully used this for fbdev/mga_vid and DirectFB use with Freevo in the past.
I can get mplayer to display on CRTC2 fine using dfbmga but when it comes to SDL and therefore Freevo I am having some pretty bad luck.
The end result is that I start Freevo and I get a pretty light blue screen on my TV. I also get the message:
SDL_DirectFB: Unsupported pixelformat (0x00201007)!
If I start Freevo with the monitor as the primary layer I don't get this message and it displays there fine.
In the past I was using DirectFB-0.9.19 and SDL cvs. This time around I have tried all sorts of combinations with Directfb-0.9.19,20,21,cvs and SDL-1.2.6, cvs.
Now, I know there are lots of you guys using DirectFB (mga) with Freevo, in NTSC land. Which versions of DirectFB, SDL, Linux kernel / patches are you having success with?
I am beginning to suspect my matrox kernel drivers and will examine those next.
Here is some of my configuration information:
/etc/directfbrc: matrox-crtc2 matrox-tv-standard=ntsc mode=640x480 primary-layer=02 disable-module=joystick disable-module=ps2mouse disable-module=lirc depth=16

I have all matrox kernel support as modules and am not loading maven or crtc2. lsmod output is:
