If you make any progress please let me know!
I'll do! But I hope we both get a pointer in the correct direction here!
What sort of hardware do you have?
Here it's an "old" P4 with 2.0 GHz. It's at 40-50% with softdevice, so maybe your hardware is a bit too slow for softdevice?
In the original post I was just wondering if xineliboutput has been written with the matrox specific instructions that softdevice's "-vo dfb:mgatv" uses. As I don't understand the difference between "-vo dfb:" & "-vo dfb:mgatv" I can't really say what difference this would make.
If you have the softdevice source code laying arround, you can have a look in that, especially 'video-dfb.c'. Search for 'setupStore->useMGAtv'. There are some if-constructs in there using this variable where some DirectFB settings (and maybe some other settings, haven't looked this closely) are set.
