Hi all,
Been trying to get the TV-out working from a Matrox G400 DualHead MAX card
but all I get is a corrupted screen.
I've got two Matrox cables, one for a G400 and one for a G550. The G400
cable has a Mini DIN7 connector and a composite connector. The G550 has a
Mini DIN4 connector. Please tell me if I've got this correct.
In ~/.directfbrc is
log-file=/var/log/directfb-mplayer.log
matrox-crtc2
matrox-tv-standard=pal
matrox-cable-type=composite
Running
mplayer test.avi -vo dfbmga -ao oss -fs
I get the picture on the monitor and not the tv, I don't think that is what
should happen.
You probably have the TV-out adapter connected to the wrong connector.

Resolved, took the card out and put it back in again, which may have
helped. I seemed to be correctly inserted before.
Also stopped the loaded the modules loading at boot time and modprobe'd
them later but I wouldn't think that makes any difference.
Been reading matrox framebuffer howto and it should be possible to use
matrox set to display a console on the TV. But I'm not sure which are the
correct commands.
If you do that you can't use DirectFB's TV-out support.
I think that the problem was not applying the
matroxfb-full-memory-linux-2.6.6.patch.bz2 patch.
Last problem is to try to find out why any of the directfb command don't
exit. df_neo and df_dok run just fine, and not directfb but I have to
reboot to reset the framebuffer. It just has the final frame displayed.
I recommend building matroxfb and fbcon into the kernel instead of using
modules. I've never had any console problems with that config.
Rebuilding the kernel with the patches fusion-full-linux-2.6.9.patch.bz2
and matroxfb-full-memory-linux-2.6.6.patch.bz2 has resolved the problem
trying to exit the directfb apps. So one of the gentoo patches seems to
break directfb.
However the tv out doesn't seem to work, with the same set-up and
cabling as before., strange.
Is there a step by step approach to testing the tv-out?
That's why I was asking about the matroxset commands.
Thanks again
Duncan
