Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo on mga framebuffer problem

Most of the skins are designed at 768x576, but I know that all of mine, and the rest that are included with Freevo are designed to accomodate a certain amount of pixels hidden by the TV. You shouldn't have any problems with the resolution, since most of the people using NTSC are likely seeing the

Try configuring with 768x576; I've never had much luck with 800x600 on my setup. The messages from matroxfb seem to happen anyway, because the actual resolution is 720, but it seems to work ok because of the overscan. Aubin On Fri, Feb 28, 2003 at 07:17:05PM -0500, Michael Ruelle wrote: > Ok I am

Yes, the thing you're missing is that you're not using mga_vid. If you have a G400, you can do the scaling in hardware, which reduces the CPU usage dramatically. To use it, you need the mga_vid kernel module; it's included with the mplayer sources, and I believe there is a Debian package also. I

Hi! I'm running freevo on a PIII 800 with a mga g400 as tv-out(fbdev). I'v got most things working but got a problem with 100% CPU usage when trying to play a movie(DivX and svcd). What's causing the problem is that I'm trying to scale the movie so it better fits the TV. Here is the options that

Yeah PCI doesn't have much bandwidth to go around. If I can get 2 tuners to share a PCI bus I'll be happy. I've heard of boards with 2 PCI bus', but I've never seen one. If I need more than 2, I'll just throw hardware at the problem. -Original Message- From: Wan Tat Chee [mailto:[EMAIL P
