DirectFB provides the same functionality. Now you can get +excellent quality video playback on your TV. + +DirectFB TV output features: +- interlaced picture +- 720x576 50Hz PAL and 720x486 60Hz NTSC +- RGB15, RGB16, RGB32, ARGB, YUY2, UYVY, I420, YV12 pixel formats +- hardware blended sub-picure in I420 and YV12 modes +- brightness, contrast, hue, saturation adjustments +- no more tweaking sessions with fbset to get the image centered :) + +I recommend you use DirectFB 0.9.15 or later since some vsync problems +were fixed in that release. + +Linux kernel setup: + +1. Patch your kernel with matroxfb-vsync-c2vline-irq-patch-2.4.19.bz2 +It's distributed with DirectFB sources in the patches subdirectory. +This patch enables IRQ based vblank waiting. Make sure your card has +an IRQ assigned to it. You may have an option in the BIOS setup for +this. + +2. Add "#define FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC _IOW('F', 0x20, int)" to + /usr/include/linux/fb.h + +3. Build and install the kernel. Set the following options: + CONFIG_I2C + CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT + CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV + CONFIG_I2C_PROC + CONFIG_FB_MATROX + CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100 + CONFIG_FB_MATROX_I2C +DirectFB doesn't require kernel support for the second head. In fact it may +interfere with the TV out. + +4. Make sure you have the proper /dev/i2c-N device file in place. + After loading i2c-matroxfb module you should see MAVEN in + /proc/bus/i2c. You must have the corresponding device file. To + create these files use: + 'mknod /dev/i2c-N c 89 N' where N is 0,1,2... + The number might change depending on the order you load i2c modules + so you may want to create some extra files. + +DirectFB setup: + +1. Build and install DirectFB + +2. Use the following DirectFB options: + matrox-crtc2 + matrox-tv-standard=pal or ntsc +You can store them in /etc/directfbrc or ~/.directfbrc so that the will be +used every time. + +That's pretty much it. Well you do need some applications. mplayer has +a special video out plugin 'dfbmga' for this stuff. You need a recent +version of mplayer to use it.
