Hi.
I'm trying to get directfb working to watch movies on TV with mplayer on a
Matrox G450. (using Debian woody)
I followed the matrox-tv-out-howto and as I started a few times from the
scratch (by deleting the mplayer-, kernel- and directfb-directories and
starting again from the tar's) I'm quite sure now that I did everything as
demanded. I tried both the kernels 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 (final), all
Matrox-stuff turned on (except the G400 Dualhead). I always copied the
include files from the kernel-tree to /usr/include/linux, I tried both I2C
turned on and off (as it should not be necessary for the G450).
I've compiled Directfb 0.9.18 both with the enable-multi -option turned on and
off (depending on if I had patched the kernel with the fusion-patch), mostly
with prefix=/usr, as this seems to be necessary for mplayer to find the
support. And I always recompiled mplayer. But I still have the same problem:
mplayer -vo dfbmga tells me "Can't get CRTC2 layer - Not supported!"
Playing movies with the -vo dfbmga:bse:nocrtc2 -option works just fine, but of
course only on the monitor.
The programs in Directfb-examples also work fine on the monitor while
obviously producing a non-tv-signal on the second head (unsynced "picture" on
the TV). The matrox-tv or matrox-tv-standard -options just seem to be ignored
("no-hardware" works, so I'm giving the options the right way).
Now I'm running out of ideas. Any hint what I can try next?
Regards
Kai Bollue
