Hello,
These days I bought a Hauppauge pvr-350.
It's a very nice card which has a tv-out-fb-device.
I tested the fb-device and it seems to work very nice.
Until now I also used the tv-out of my graphic-card and I'd like to keep
it working.
So, the Problem I have is: Is it possible to have 3 screens configured
in xfree?
The pvr-fb-device for mythtv, the tv-out for various things and the
monitor for work?
If yes, how do I have to configure the serverlayout in XF86Config?
This is my actual serverlayout:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout[all]"
InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
...
Option "Clone" "on"
Option "Xinerama" "off"
Screen "VGA"
Screen "TV" LeftOf "VGA"
EndSection
TV is my tv-out, vga is the monitor.
I found howtos to set the xfree-config for the fb-device. It looks like
this:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start if the mouse doesn't work
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Hauppauge PVR350"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
BusID "0:0x0f:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "PAL TV"
HorizSync? 30-68
VertRefresh? 50-120
Mode "720x576"
DotClock? 42.6
HTimings 720 760 832 944
VTimings 576 577 580 602
Flags "-HSync" "-VSync"
EndMode?
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "TV Screen"
Device "Hauppauge PVR350"
Monitor "PAL TV"
DefaultDepth? 24
DefaultFbbpp? 32
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
FbBpp? 32
Modes "720x576"
EndSubsection?
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "TV Screen"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
It seems they use the fb-device alone.
So is it possible to merge my old config with these instructions to get 3 screens to
work simultanously?
thanks for all
greetings don
p.s.
sorry for my poor english:)
