my frame buffer console is in VESA mode. I tried to put "vesa"  instead of fbdev
in freevo.conf, but it changed nothing. But it's normal because vesa is not a
possible mode for sdl. mode could be svgalib, fbdev, fbcon, x or aalib.
could you send me tour freevo.conf ? did you use ONLY the TV out on your ATI card
when running freevo ?

Moreover, the thing I don't understand is that fbset is not able to change
resolution on a vesa screen because it is initialised throught the bios in real
mode by the linux booter.... so how does sdl do ?

I looked at SDL env vars, but I did not see anything about resolutions changes...

I think I will have to stay to freevo 1.3 for ever :(((


Yes, I only use the TV out, but I just plugged a monitor in and it looks OK. A little off-center, probably timing-related, but it's a normal picture. I boot without monitor attached but I think the ATI card only cares if a TV is attached at boot.

My freevo.conf is:
cdparanoia = /usr/bin/cdparanoia
chanlist = us-cable
display = vesa
flac = /usr/bin/flac
geometry = 800x600
jpegtran = /usr/bin/jpegtran
lame = /usr/bin/lame
mencoder = /usr/local/bin/mencoder
mplayer = /usr/local/bin/mplayer
renice = /usr/bin/renice
setterm = /usr/bin/setterm
tv = ntsc
tvtime = /usr/bin/tvtime
version = 2.1

Note that I NEVER change resolutions. I am ALWAYS in 800x600 mode, as set by the kernel via the vga=789 LILO parameter. I use MPlayer's software scaler to scale up movies - this machine is a P4 1.5 GHz box, so it's fast enough to do this for almost all content. I can't get zsnes to zoom SNES games properly, but everything else works OK.

Regards,
Chad
