[Freevo-users] directfb /G400 / tv-out Kernel config file
I'm getting closer.. but not their yet.. I can start freevo with no errors.. but the display still appears on my monitor and not the tv. I do get a blue background.. that freevo sits in now.. and I'm assuming that is the directfb background. So I thing directfb is working.. but its not getting the right display.. I have set the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb with no luck.. (I think this is done for you though in the latest release) The problem may be in my kernel... if anyone who has directfb working with a G400 would not mind.. could you send me your kernel config file.. preferably a rh9.. (directly.. don't want to litter the list with config file) Thanks for all your guys help...

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: freevo app on tv-out using directfb
The best thing to do is rebuild the runtime yourself (or install from packages for your distribution) since getting around this libc stuff will be non-trivial. Ok.. I've built all the files... and installed them. http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage_2fInstallDeps 1.14, 1.15 -files are no-longer on htt://freevo.sourceforge.net/filename.tgz 1.19 -spelling error python setyp.py build---should be setup.py python setyp.py install ---should be setup.py I now need to create the dll folder. I see this is done in the /runtime/Makefile If I try to run this file I get: Please see the Makefile source and Wiki for more info! But theirs not more info on how to do this.. that I've found. Would it be possible to get the scripts that were used to build freevo-1.2.5 ??? I would like to build compatible freevo-1.2.5.. where everything is the same.. except that it was build with a newer glibc..(2.3.2). I would like to make this into an rpm, or just tar up the dll folder so anyone can use it if they like. Scott --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing more.

I dont have depth, but I can add that tonight... DirectFB-TV doesn't support resolutions other than true NTSC/PAL out, you should set freevo to 720x480 for NTSC. It might be causing problems if SDL tries to resize the window to 800x600. I was only able to get it working after setting the resolution to 720x480.

Also make sure the matroxfb_* modules are not loaded (or compiled in your kernel). correct.. I did not include them when I built this kernel.. and I verifyed they are not loaded. He said dfbmga was working through mplayer, which is why I didn't suggest that... SDL_VIDEODRIVER might help, but SDL is supposed to use the first available device, if you don't use X11 or fbcon, it should try dfb. I did try to try this.. I'm not sure if this is an evn varable, or something in freevo. I exported the variable in my shell before I ran freevo... it didnt help. --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

Re: [Freevo-users] dfbmga and freevo
if you are using the release from yesterday (1.3.2), you have to build sdl yourself with the psdl12cvs-directfb09-16-tvout.diff patch. you can find this patch somewhere in the freevo cvs. OK.. I've successfully complied installed SDL-1.2.5 ( http://www.libsdl.org/ ).. with the patch. then make sure you are using your self-build .so sdl file and not the one in the runtime and finally start freevo with the dfbmga option in the freevo.conf file. I'm assuming the self-build.so file is not the real name.. I don't have a file by that name anywhere on my system (yes, I tried). I didn't see any sdl files in the freevo dir either.. What should this file be named... and should I assume that is should replace the freevo version of the same file.. ( mv.../xyz.so/usr/local/freevo//xyz.so ) of course after I make a backup of the org. --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

[Freevo-users] dfbmga and freevo
I've successfully complied my kernel, directfb, and MPlayer-0.90 and am able to use the -vo dfbmga at a command line, and it displays the video on my tv. every thing else is displayed on my monitor. How do I get freevo to use the dfbmga, I edited the freevo.conf to use dfbmga, but it gives me libarery errors.. I'm assuming because I need to compile/recompile some of the code that comes with freevo. Could someone that uses directfb help me out here... Im using: RH9 G400 DirectFB 0.9.18 Kernel 2.4.20 with fusion patches. I'm at work right now.. so I cant get the exact error.. but will if needed.

Re: [Freevo-users] Partition type for Freevo?
Its a standard feature on all the UPS I've ever used... usually a serial port or more recently USB... You can get all sorts of info from the UPS... run time, voltage, load etc (depending on the type of UPS)... Surely the partion type is a result of what the distro you are running supports? Yes, most UPS's do.. and some even have their own linux software to shut your system down.. if they dont, you can proboblly get it running with NUT, (Network UPS Tools http://www.exploits.org/nut/ ).
