Hi Duncan,
That's where I get confused. I am building the latest svn Freevo1.x branch
which when you run freevo shows as 1.8.4 (from memory) which is a number
"less" than
the 1.9.0 branch. Does your comment still apply, i.e does "upto" mean a
number less than 1.9?
The development versioning to me is very confusing, you have 1.x, a 1.9 and
a 2.0 branches, I do not know what the aim of each branch is? If 2.0 is for
"radical" changes to the UI (which is what
I am assuming) what is the purpose of the 1.x branch, which has active
development of new features and 1.9 which is also being developed. It seems
strange to me that a branch with a number of 1.8 has more/new features (i.e
the new OSD stuff) than a version with a higher number (1.9)...........

Not sure what you mean here (by "command line").
I run xorg, open up a shell and type Freevo ..... and that works fine as per
my original post.
It is only when I run "Freevo -f(-fs)" from a TTY terminal that I get the
blackscreen issue, so how do I "remove" freevo from the equation, when it is
Freevo that has the issue running it's own
X window session ..... as I say again, normal xorg runs fine with the new
ATI card .... and by the way, the new open source ATI drivers are great,
better than the propriety drivers... ATI is now
my preferred video card vendor..
I have not seen any debug output messages from "Freevo -f" when I type this
in a TTY session.
Thanks,
Bernie
