Hello Ducson,

I bought a Matrox G550 to use the DVI port for my workstation and the
analog out to drive a TV that would be set up as a permanent PVR. I
would like to be able to use both heads concurrently. Is anybody else
using this setup?
I have a Matrox G400 and I'm interested in doing the same thing. I've
had a little success. First off, the second head works great. Freevo,
mplayer, NES and SNES emulators... they all output to the TV
beautifully. But things get ultra slow if I try to run X on the first
head and Freevo et al on the second head. Also, my mouse doesn't work.
You need XDirectFB if you want to run X on the first monitor while
outputting something else to the second head. Here are some resources
I've used:
http://www.directfb.org/xdirectfb.xml

PLEASE let me know if you make any headway or learn anything new. I'd
love to be able to do this.
I would be interested in using the first and the second head of my G400
simultaneously, too.
Currently, I can:
- run Freevo on TV (using DirectFB)
- OR run XDirectFB on my monitor (but I have to adjust the settings in
my directfbrc every time I switch)
What do I have to do to run both applications at the same time (with
output to different heads)?
Thanks in advance,
Markus
P.S.: I think I once read on one of the DirectFB-mailinglists that
hardware acceleration ist only possible for one head at a time :-(
