The i810 driver seems to fail in driver_init_driver() in i810.c:774. > how to rectify this ?

Oh, that doesn't work. You can run fbtv only in fullscreen mode on another VT. But you can port fbtv to DirectFB. Try "df_window /dev/video" or "df_video". Or use: "dfbsee --dfb:force-windowed -f /dev/video" -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
