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 laos found that if you set OSD_STOP_WHEN_PLAYING = 0 and just play
a mpg file then when it exists the screen is fine.

I ended up using this in my local_config,py
OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP = "/etc/freevo/run_first.sh"
and set this:
OSD_STOP_WHEN_PLAYING = 0
made this file /etc/freevo/run_first.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -vo dfbmga /etc/freevo/sample.avi& exit
I recorded 0.1 secs with mencoder saved it as sample.avi as
/etc/freevo/sample.avi

This REALLY stinks! Does the DirectFB community know about this? I have
a feeling that matroxset or fbset should fix this problem but cant seem
to get anywhere. This makes xmame and all other emulators useless in Freevo.
