Hello all,
I can't get Freevo to display when trying to use dfbmga. This is actually two separate issues?
1) Both the directfb and the dfbmga drivers work fine when running mplayer from the console ('mplayer -vo dfbmga foo.mpeg' or 'mplayer -vo directfb foo.mpeg'); however, within local_conf.py when I set:
MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'dfbmga'
or
MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'directfb'
and then run Freevo and try to play a movie, all I get is a perpetual blank screen without audio.
2) Within freevo.conf when I set:
display = directfb
or
display = dfbmga
and try to start Freevo, I just get an error about pygame not finding the video device.
I'm trying to output Freevo and everything to my TV using the second head on my G400.
Any help with these matters will be greatly appreciated.

Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/mnt/cdrom', '/dev/cdrom',

Can't find lsdvd. DVD support will be limited and maybe not
all discs are detected. Please install lsdvd, you can get it
from http://acidrip.thirtythreeandathird.net/lsdvd.html
After installing it, you should run 'freevo cache --rebuild'
