Re: [Freevo-users] Re: call for working DirectFB configurations survey - please share your success stories!
Ah ace! tvtime was my problem, removed it and it doesn't need X anymore. Thanks alot Dischi! I don't have a TV card installed and I must have once emerged that thinking I'd need it sometime. Thats much much better. I'm trying to cut down on the packages installed so thats its the bare minimum needed. All I want is freevo to play movies and audio with mplayer, basic system functions and have webmin installed remote admin. So far I'm down to 208 packages with some more to trim out. :-) Nick Dirk Meyer wrote: Dirk Meyer wrote: Nicholas Ruddick wrote: 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.

How do you run X on your monitor and mplayer on tv out? That's something I need. When I start mplayer, the monitor also switches to that resolution and went black (because my TFT doesn't support 720x576). > but using freevo with the fbcon driver, two things happen: > > 1) It wants to be started from a real VT (not a random X term) - that's > soluble with a suitable inittab > > 2) When I switch VT back to X or anywhere else, any attempt to control > freevo using "freevo remote" will hang freevo waiting for its VT to come > back (I can see that in strace).

And the solution to your problem: freevo 2.0 has native dfb support without patching sdl. Maybe it works that way.

[Freevo-users] 1.5.3 Debian
Has the support for Debian been dropped? 1.5.3 was announced three weeks ago and there have been no Debian packages available yet. It is no problem to install manually, but the Debian packages have been a very convenient way to keep the system up-to-date.
