In the next kernel version, it won't matter too much because vsync is in the fb driver now. On Mon, Aug 18, 2003 at 05:37:40PM +, mark wrote: > > Thanks Aubin, I've now got it working. As per > David Amiel's post I needed to use libsdl cvs. > > One more thing, I have modified my MPlayer Ar

Thanks Aubin, I've now got it working. As per David Amiel's post I needed to use libsdl cvs. One more thing, I have modified my MPlayer Args in local_config.py to use dfbmga:buffermode=triple. Can I easilly modify freevo to use this at startup. This may be of benefit to others as it doesnt

If you put directfb in your freevo.conf, it's an error since Freevo doesn't know about directfb, just about dfbmga, hence the message you're getting. On Sun, Aug 17, 2003 at 05:57:31PM +, mark wrote: > > > Thanks Aubin, that checks out fine. > > ldd /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 > libdirectf

Thanks Aubin, that checks out fine. ldd /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 libdirectfb-0.9.so.19 =>/usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.19 (0x40088000) So, sum up, mplayer works stand alone and DirectFB is buuilt against sdl correctly. At the same time Freevo is not even calling DirectFB hence no DirectFB outp

Easiest way to check if DirectFB is working with SDL is to do: ldd /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 Among the output should be reference to libdirectfb, if SDL was built properly. On Sun, Aug 17, 2003 at 12:21:16AM +, mark wrote: > > Okay, after 2 hours wasted trying to get mplayer dfbmga working ag

Okay, after 2 hours wasted trying to get mplayer dfbmga working again I find that a reboot fixed it. Still no luck with freevo though. I have removed my local_config.py (just in case). If I now run freevo with just directfb I get this ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/mnt/cdrom', '/dev
