I've had the same on pal. My sollution was to change the res e.g. 720x576. So try some res's. If someone had a good sollution for this i'd like it too, 800x600 is a bit better in the menu's for vid's it's not better since pal doesn't do 800x600 as far as i know.
Also does anyone knows what's the best value for buffering? i see alot of tearing :( I've applied the tripplebuffering patch and the :buggermode=tripple value (i belive it was that option) but it only made it worse as far as i can tell.

On my epia M10K SDL CVS with DirectFB CVS (both from Jan 4) work like a charm together. These problems I have encountered with the G400, that is I can't set the primary layer to CRTC2 and display normal directfb to it - it results in that unsupported pixelformat error. > With lidsdl 1.2.6 i get unsupported pixelformat, with a cvs copy from > november i get crashes in pygame. I found it odd that SDL 1.2.6 failed for me as well, even with an older DirectFB version. > The latest cvs snapshot of sdl does not configure for me, the autogen.sh > script fails. Did you checkout the latest version from cvs or did you > use a cvs snapshot tar ball? I used anonymous CVS. I has a slight problem with autogen.sh as well (I think - try different versions of aclocal/automake/autoconf) and after configuring I had to chop 3 lines out of a near toplevel Makefile (for me was ~line 422). I would like to help you get SDL working. I'm on my way to the irc channel if you'd like to stop by - #freevo on irc.gnu.org. > Mplayer works fine with any directfb version that i have tried. Same here but with -vo dfbmga I (and others) are getting horrible jitter with the G400 (discussion on the DirectFB list). Hopefully you can check this as well, I can provide a sample mpeg. > I�m running Gentoo on an Atlon XP with a G400. Using kernel 2.2.20 and > alsa. I am running Debian unstable, vanila 2.4.24 kernel with kraxel and matrox full mem and clock patches (I am unsure exactly what the clock patch does) on an Athlon XP 2100+ and a G400. -Rob > Rob Shortt wrote: > >> >> Well, I have managed to solve my own problem. >> >> I am now using DirectFB-0.9.20 with SDL cvs. I had to use rev 1.13 of >> src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.c though.
