Re: [vdr] Softdevice + vidix + matrox G550 - is this possible?

Hi, I want to set up my VDR to use softdevice and use the output of my Matrox G550 card.

I have got the latest CVS for softdevice, directFB, DFB++, vidix and ffmpeg. Am running Fedora core 3 with the latest 2.6.11 series kernel.

Have built all successfully. Now I want to keep the second head on my G550 running X (a gnome desktop on the local monitor on the box is handy) but also have accelerated output on the tv-out.

I think this means I am restricted to using vidix - is this correct?

I don't think so. You can also use DirectFB. There was a recent (<2 months) thread regarding your problem on the softdevice ML or the DirectFB ML. IIRC, everything was solved for the original poster.
