Is there any chance you could enable the DirectFB output in your libxine package?
It's too late for 1.1.3-2, but I've enabled it ready for whenever I next decide to do a package update.
Thanks. I'll look out for that and try to do a big kernel- and dist-upgrade as and when. It's about time.
dist-upgrade? Are you sure?
Speaking of kernel upgrades I'm still using a 2.6.17 kernel on that box because when I tried to upgrade to 2.6.18 my remote stopped working even though the patch still seeemed to apply OK. I think you're using the same remote as me (Hauppauge "grey") but with a more advanced patch that allows a keymap to be loaded,
I _was_. My budget-ci patches have been modified somewhat since then [1] and are currently in the v4l-dvb repository; they should be in 2.6.20-rc1 (I think that they're already in 2.6.19-git*).
whereas I found a simpler patch which just hardwires a different set of keycodes. Have you used 2.6.18 or later OK?
Not entirely - 2.6.18 didn't seem too good generally here, but 2.6.19 seems fine (apart from, perhaps, a small problem which is manifest via apt updates). Anyway, this is with different hardware, and I have a couple of cx88 patches which need to be updated...
