Hi, I just started using DirectFB on my Matrox G400 32MB DH card, and I'm
wondering if it's possible to do multi head using DFB?

My current (XFree86) setup is:
  MGA(0) -> Left Monitor
  MGA(1) -> TV (Scart-RGB)
  R128   -> Right Monitor

is it possible to have DFB drive all of them?
(not xinerama style, but just so one mouse/kb can be used for all displays)

If it's currently possible, any advice how?
If it's not, how hard would it be to implament, I'm willing to have a crack
at it if everybody else has other htings they need to do...

I also have a problem using TV out on my Matrox under DFB..

Output from dfb program:

I use the stock 2.4.20 drivers as modules, I also use fusion.

Other then that, DirectFB with XDirectFB very much RULES :)

Any help would be appriciated, thanks
