Hi All, I have it almost sorted out - perfect quality on monitor when monitor output is enabled - still a little garbled on tv though.

This seems to be a fb.modes problem. I planning to play around with the modes to try to resolve this.

Can anyone point me to any tools or howto's around adjusting modes in a sensible logical fashion?

Any & all advice appreciated :-)

Thanks a lot.

Regards Anthony.

Date: Sun, 08 May 2005 12:07:49 +0930 Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the tips.

I have directfb working but am experiencing a problem where the output is only on the attached monitor and nothing on the TV. When I switch plugs over the output stays on the monitor only.

I guess this means it can't find mode lines that can work with the TV. I just want vdr output on the TV out and normal X on the main hread of the G550.

Can anyone who is using a G550 send me a copy of their fb.modes file and also /etc/directfbrc plus any mods you made to your xorg.conf (or XFree equivalent config file). Thanks a lot.

Any further tips appreciated.

Regards Anthony.

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.
