I gave up on DirectFB - I'm sure it just needed 'a little something' but that something was beyond me.. plus the TV Out didn't work :) > Also the X11 drivers for the Mach64 I can't recommend, I never got a > picture due to lacking Xv support. > So I fear that the Mach64 is not the best choice for use with the > softdevice :-(. I have switched to running X, because in XFree 4.3.0 the 'ati' driver does indeed support Xv on my card .. and not only that but there are options for TVOut. The only problem is the TVOut only works at exactly 640x480 or 800x600 at 60Hz. No opportunity for 768x576 or proper 50Hz interlaced output... I'm still using softdevice just -vo xv:full instead of -vo dfb: =) At least I have a watchable picture now, and it will suffice until I can sort out something better :) Cheers, Gavin.
