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.
