First off, the config files Philip Armstrong posted were a particular help in getting things up and running on my new matrox card. Thanks very much!
One thing I notice is that the first time I start freevo, it displays on the primary rather than the secondary head. I have worked around this by executing fbset -vyres 480 before running freevo. I'm not sure why that fixes it for the first run, but it does. All subsequent runs work. I've been fighting to get directfb to work for a user other than root. I have it working, but currently I can't get keyboard support in freevo. I had to disable the vt code with no-vt in /etc/directfbrc to get non-root to work. I will try when I get home, but I think running as non-root with permissions loosened on /dev/tty0, /dev/fb1, and /dev/input/mice just causes directfb to hang during initialization if I enable vt support. Do you guys who run in directfb run the frontend as root? It seems like that might solve all my problems, but I'm hesitant because I had it set up before to run as the freevo user and the recordserver is still set up that way. Thanks!
