Check out www.linitx.com or more specifically http://linitx.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=22src=adwords1 for compact flash IDE adaptor. I've used one of these with a 128MB compact flash card to boot smoothwall (no additional hard drives) and it works fine... you may run into arguments

Lol well call me a sucker for a simple solution, but from my perspective the great thing about Freevo is its lack of any external dependancies. So when you say 'no external dependancies' it would be nice if this is what it meant. (All required software and dependancies included) >From a new

Hello there, I can confirm that the SDL-Patch is no longer needed if you are using DirectFB-0.9.19 (and you want to use TV-Out, of course). Some more hints to get it working: - compile DirectFB-0.9.19 (./configure;make;make install) - compile SDL-1.2 (CVS tarball) (./configure;make;make

Ahh! Finally! I followed your directions (with the exception of using geometry=720x480 for ntsc) and it works! The Directfb-0.9.19 looks like it did the trick. The only problem i'm having now with the basic Freevo setup is that there is quite a bit of flicker in the SDL menus. Mplayer plays

I found a message from one of the great directfb/g400 hackers during my research (I think it was Ville Syrjälä) that said that this running two different displays in this manner wasn't supported by the current method that the dfbmga driver uses. I could be wrong though. Has anyone done this?

This isn't a driver issue per se. Video cards aren't built for this. If the card actually had hardware to drive each display individually, then it would be easier. A lot of the current cards have limited hardware acceleration on the second display. On top of this, most drivers expect to have
