Hello. I'm new to DirectFB, but I am using it currently with mplayer
and the VESA framebuffer to play DVDs on my Linux box. I have a ATI
All-in-Wonder PCI card (Rage128), and I have never been able to get the
aty128fb module to work. It either locks up the PC or displays a blank
screen on the TV. I've tried not compiling in vesafb period, but that
made no difference. Has anyone gotten aty128fb to work on my card?
I'd like to be able to use the ati framebuffer so I can switch modes;
the display is a little off-center and shaky with the VESA fb.
I have gatos installed but atitvout always reports:
GATOS: gatos_settvout(): No such device
atitvout: settvout failed!
The system is Mandrake 8.1 with kernel 2.4.17.
I have the composite TV-out connected directly to the video-in on my
TV. Lspci reports this about the card:
