Subject: [Freevo-users] More help with DirectFB
After further examination, I have seen this problem before
but I can't
remember the solution.
I have installed DirectFB 0.9.21, SDL 1.2.8, pygame 1.6, and
Freevo 1.5.3.
I recompiled DirectFB, SDL, pygame, and Mplayer. I can play
movies fine
with Mplayer but when I start Freevo I either get a blue screen (when
primary-layer=2) or scrambled display (when SDL_DIRECTFB_MGA_CRTC2 is
set). When I compiled SDL I did see DirectFB... yes.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
This is just a guess, but:
Try to start freevo (or any dfb application) *twice*. I have a kernel
2.6.10, DirectFB 0.9.21 and Freevo 1.5.3. For some reason (related to
DirectFB implementation, I guess), the first dfb application never executes
but ends at dfb error. The second one starts OK.
Actually I have added a row
/usr/local/bin/dfbswitch 720x576
in the beginning to my freevo script in /etc/init.d
After that, freevo starts. It does not matter which dfb application you use.
Strange, isn't it?

I actually noticed that before but thanks that helped. I saw the Freevo
screen clear but didnt know how or why, so what you said really helps
alot. Have you tried DirectFB CVS? I and downloading it now. If I start
Freevo then play a short clip with mplayer on dfbmga then hit the remote
(to force a screen refresh, I guess) it works. Thats for the work
around, lets hope we can get this fixed.
