mplayer worked with with standard fbdev haven't tried it with dfbmga yet (but I will).
this is an essential test and is also written in the directions you just quoted!
I did not recompile SDL with directfb (will I need to to get the OSD running?)
yes, of course. freevo builds on SDL and if you want to use SDL using directfb, you'll need an SDL version with built in directfb support. most SDL standard distribution packages lack this.
I do get a frame buffer console after running this:
matroxset -f /dev/fb0 -m 5
matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -m 2
matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -o 1 2
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty0
this is nonsense and you don't have this from the matrox-tv-out-howto. this is only nescessary if you intend to use the special matrox framebuffer. it has nothing to do with the directfb support.
When I fire up freevo the screen goes blank.
you shouldn't do the matroxset stuff as i said.
freevo.conf: . . . display = dfbmga
this seems right. but you shouldn't care about freevo as long as directfb isn't running correctly.
append=" video=matrox:vesa:0x112"
i'm not sure whether this is a good idea. it's better to turn the standard framebuffer off with
video=vga16:off
/etc/directfbrc:
matrox-crtc2 matrox-tv-standard=ntsc
try adding this line:
primary-layer=2
make sure you don't have any more framebuffer related modules than this:
i2c-matroxfb 2144 0
matroxfb_base 19744 64 [i2c-matroxfb]
matroxfb_g450 4352 0 [matroxfb_base]
matroxfb_DAC1064 7360 0 [matroxfb_base]
g450_pll 3568 0 [matroxfb_g450 matroxfb_DAC1064]
matroxfb_accel 7584 0 [matroxfb_base matroxfb_DAC1064]
matroxfb_misc 8032 0 [i2c-matroxfb matroxfb_base matroxfb_g450 matroxfb_DAC1064 g450_pll matroxfb_accel]
then try executing the directfb test programs without executing the matroxset stuff. if this works, try mplayer with -vo dfbmga. if this works too, you can start to think about how to start freevo with SDL.
