No, that's ok, as these files are fifos.

I just tried your commandline myself and it works. I also get "time: 0" when I 
quit fbxine with Ctrl+C, but in the meantime, I can watch TV.

The difference is, that I use vesafb, although I also own a Matrox G550 (I 
just haven't tried using the special matrox fb driver). This is the output of 
fbset -i:

Maybe you get more info from fbxine, if you add '--verbose=2' to fbxine's 
command line.

Another useful output driver for this Matrox card is vidix. Just change the 
command line to '-V vidixfb'. This driver even works without '--stdctl'.

Bye.
