[vdr] Softmpeg and Softdevice problems with Vdr-1.3.6 and DirectFB Matrox G450

[felixaa@ono.com]

Hi All!!
I trying to use softmpeg(latest CVS from DirectFB) or softdevice(0.0.5)
plugins  with my system, Gentoo Pentium III 1Ghz, kernel 2.4.25,
   with a Matrox G450 DualHead and VDR-1.3.6-elchi and akool patches. I
currently using mplayer with -vo dfbmga (DirectFB-0.9.21), RGB Scart Tv
out -  PAL.
 Mplayer replay any kind of video with this driver very well . 
 Then trying to get a decent vdr out ,  I install the related vdr plugins
 with not errors.But I not obtain any result
I observe that when I start mplayer the first time , when the video finish
or I closed it,  the black screen of the tv become jerkly, maybe a refresh
problem. 


Trying to start vdr ( vdr -Psoftmpeg ) I Obtain in some ocations a blue
screen, or a jerkly image where I can see VDR prompt waiting for init lirc
and
keyword wizard or any rare image ..

This is the OUT ..

This out have some errors cause a /etc/directfbrc changes 

I see the plugin that  try to change videomode to 768x576-32 or 1024X768-32
and I don?t have this settings in my /etc/fb.modes

I think that is a fb mode settigs resolution and refresh problem...
