Yeah.  OSD.  On-screen-display.  Perhaps you thought that by OSD I only
meant the few overlays that pop-up over playing video.  No.  By OSD I
mean the whole On-screen-display.

Exactly.  I never said that the OSD needed to know about vsync.  I said
video playback needed to know about vsync.  The OSD still needs to be
able to display in a manner that is compatible with the video card's
TV-Out mode, and for the G400, the only true replication of video
broadcast display I have seen available is with DirectFB, which means
that if you want to use DirectFB's CRTC2 TV-out for video display you
also have to use that for the OSD display since using the
X11/framebuffer TV-out (i.e. using the matroxfb_maven kernel module and
matroxset) is mutually exclusive with using DirectFB.

No Isaac, my comments are not "extremely inaccurate".  You seem to have
a problem understanding and/or interpreting what I am saying.  You have
pointed out several areas where you have interpreted what I have said as
inaccurate but in reality I didn't say what you say I said.  You twist
and mis-interpret what say to seem like it's inaccurate.
