[linuxtv-softmpeg] Re: Which video card will work?
Hello Peter,

The problem actually doesn't seem to be with softmpeg - it's more to do
with DirectFB. I have an NVidia MX440 card which does not have a VESA2.0
compliant BIOS. As a result, I can't get DirectFB going.
I am looking for an alternative card. Any recommendations for particular
models that are known to work with DirectFB + softmpeg?
http://www.directfb.org/modules.xml
Current development platforms are Matrox G4x0 and VIA CLE266.
I guess, the alternative question is, any ideas on how long before
softmpeg can use xv / xvmc to render video?
Please note that one of *my* design goals for libsoftmpeg was to have
the best possible tv-out experience.
Currently, this is can be verified with the tv-out of a Dualhead G4x0
and the VIA cle266. (The cle266 output is currently a little bit
squeezed, but our expert is working on it)
At the moment, DirectFB is heavily used for tricks with the vertical
blank interval to ensure a 100% smooth picture. Additionally,
FusionSound is used, which currently depends on DirectFB, so your gfx
context is stolen when a libsoftmpeg application is initialized (ie. no
x server running concurrently)
Before anyone can start porting libsoftmpeg to Xv, the core has to be
modularized and some of the dependencies have to be made optional.
Thanks,
Peter.

Michael.
