Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + DirectFB + dfbmga
Are there some documents that explain how to build this? Regards. * Aubin Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] [140503, 09:39]: Yes, it is possible. However, it takes a few things: 1) A patched SDL (the patch is in Freevo CVS) 2) Freevo must be configured to use the specific resolution for your norm 3) Freevo must run as root It's possible to do, but because SDL doesn't ship with dfbmga support in releases, or even in CVS, you can expect to have to work a little harder than you would for the framebuffer. It does work well though. aubin On Wed, May 14, 2003 at 09:28:57AM +0200, Luca Micheletti wrote: Hi all, I have a question.

Not that I know of, but it's probably something I could write, though someone should independently confirm that my method works :) Aubin On Tue, Jun 03, 2003 at 02:53:50PM +0200, Luca Micheletti wrote: Are there some documents that explain how to build this?

RE: [Freevo-users] X11 and TV Out ** WORKING **
Hi Tommy, (http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=296#KPLE) yet ? Check out the the item marked New (Mandrake 9.0), Looks like those are for the EPIA-M ? Maybe you will have to use them in order to get the Device parameters to work. Actually, it seems that my problem was with the version of X Windows that I was using. I was running 4.3.1(??), from the Mandrake 9.1 install. However, the EPIA trident_drv.o module supplied by VIA is for 4.2.0. So, I: - reinstalled a bare-bones Mandrake 9.1 (I didn't want to have to deal with all the dependencies I would run into if I just removed the RPMS); - downloaded and installed the XFree86 4.2.0 binaries from ftp.xfree86.org; - dropped in your XF86Config file (I had to do a little minor tweaking of the drivers to be loaded) Result: I now have twm displaying on my screen (it's as ugly as heck, but that's onlt the first step!) Next step: get Freevo downloaded and installed so I can really test out it's performance under X. My goal, actually, is to have a system that can support both framebuffer and X. Why? Why not? :-) Thanks for your help!

[Freevo-users] TV out quality of video cards
I'm curious to know about the relative performance in video quality from matrox g400 cards which I see mentioned quite a lot on this list and the mx440 series nvidia cards with TV out. How would the quality of the composite out compare so say a cheap DVD player?

[Freevo-users] Video capture USB?
I want to try to install Freeevo in a Microsoft Xbox. Which video capture USB works fine in Linux? Thank you in advance,
Re: Look ma, no window manager! [WAS Re: [Freevo-users] freevo worksbut will not play divx video nor mp3's.]
Hi The only 'issue' is that freevo is running as root the way I do it, but I'm not worried about that. The info/link in the wiki tells you how to get around this. As for window problems or mplayer problems, there are none - not even when I used 1.3.1. I'm not sure what you mean by SDL not being able to open more windows without a wm? I thought XFree86 handled this rather than the windows manager. How would my mplayer work on the top of freevo otherwise?
