Hi,

I am new to freevo and trying to get it to work with debian unstable in
combination with a matrox g550 with tv out.

Which output driver is the best in case the box is dedicated to freevo 
and no output to the first head is needed?

I tried my luck with dfbmga. Mplayer plays files with 

mplayer -vo dfbmga <<file>>

without any problems and with good quality. But freevo does not do so
well: I get an error like this:

-->
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/main.py", line 131, in ?
    import menu    # The menu widget class
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/menu.py", line 48, in ?
    import skin
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/skin.py", line 98, in ?
    get_singleton()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/skin.py", line 79, in

    exec('import skins.' + config.SKIN_MODULE  + '.' + config.SKIN_MODULE

    osd = osd.get_singleton()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/osd.py", line 149, in
get_singleton
    _singleton = OSD()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/osd.py", line 382, in
__init__
    pygame.display.init()
pygame.error: No available video device
<--

My freevo.conf looks like this:

-->
chanlist = europe-west
display = dfbmga
geometry = 768x576
lsdvd = /usr/bin/lsdvd
mplayer = /usr/bin/mplayer
renice = /usr/bin/renice
setterm = /usr/bin/setterm
tv = pal
version = 2.1
<--

I am little bit confused ablout sdl and co. Do I need to compile them
myself?  

Any hint is welcome! :)


Cheers,

- Thorsten
