Ah no, freevo is not displayed in 16:9 but 4:3. It gets the mode from freevo.conf as 720x576 like yours. Whenever I play 16:9 movies or put the audio visualisation on full screen my TV auto detects its in letterbox format and changes to showing full 16:9 goodness!

I forgot to put in my /etc/portage/packages.keywords so here it is:

dev-python/pylirc ~x86
dev-python/mmpython ~x86
media-video/lsdvd ~x86
media-tv/freevo ~x86
media-libs/xine-lib ~x86
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 ~x86

That should make more sense to you now :-)

Yes, I am using -O2, but whenever I made the box for some reason I chose this. I can't remember the justification but I am going to recompile the whole system with -O3 soon.

Question: I'm getting really annoyed that I cannot get rid of xorg-x11 on the system, can you get rid of it?
qpkg -I -q xorg-x11 returns that it is not depended on by anything.
I can uninstall it but whenever I emerge -uv world it wants to reinstall it every time. I have the -X use flag set and all X like packages removed.
Be interested to see your setup files too.


Regards,
Nick

... Interesting.

Is Freevo actually displayed in a 16:9 aspect ratio on your TV? I'm asking that because I see no line like "mode=720x576" (like I have for PAL 4:3) in your directfbrc.

Are you sure your Gentoo actually uses ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"? I thought it's "~x86", at least I had it that way when my libsdl and df_xine brokeon my old partition. But I see you are using the more conservative compiler flag "-O2", and I'm using "-03" on athlon thuinderbird arhitecture. Who knows, maybe the combination of these broke my old Gentoo. Now I'm happy without "~x86" flag, using it only for specific packages directly related to multimedia stuff. BTW, I should publish my configuration as well when I get home tonight, now that it's working again... ;-)
