Hello Ben, OK I recompile the kernel with the matroxfb stuff as modules
modprobe fusion lsmod show all those modules loaded compiled mplayer1.0pre3 from source (after build DirectFB of ccurse) fired up mplayer works beautifully. now compiling SDL w/DirectFB support. does it require a patch to the source tree? are there instructions somewhere? your help is greatly appreciated. 3-08 at 17:49, Benjamin Zeiss wrote: > hello john, > > --On Monday, March 08, 2004 17:04:47 -0500 Josh Peck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > I used the directions here: > > > > http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/matrox-tv-out-howto > > > > 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. > > -- > Benjamin Zeiss > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials > Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of > GenToo technologies.
