Again, I ask the same thing here because I saw similar question on the web and
no one aswered even the auhors :((((
Is it actually possible for ATI card owner to use fbdev with TVOUT ???
The question may look trivial, BUT the problem is that ATI card automagically
switch to TV frequencies when only a TV is plugged on the card and no vga
monitors is plugged. So I can see the bios, lilo boot and the linux fb consol on
my tv without any problem. But when I launch freevo, it change the resolution
and/or frequecies and my TV can't display anything !!!!
In freevo 1.3.x, it worked very well and since I upgraded to 1.4.1 it does not
work anymore.
I looked a little the source code and the problem seems to came from pygame
display object. It seems to be unable to use the current fbdev mode (the one
used for the console) and open a new screen instead.... To bad because it make
the graphic card lose the TV resolution ! :((((
Do you have a speed or similar issue that requires fbdev? I have an ATI
card that works very well in VESA mode. I use the VESA Linux kernel
driver, vo=vesa in MPlayer, and display=vesa (800x600 mode) in Freevo.
Works like a charm, except you lose some of the advanced rendering
features of the card that might, say, make MPlayer a bit faster.
