I'm trying to get DirectFB working with my G400 dual head card. As far as I can tell, nobody I've seen has had the same precise problem.
I used these directions, following them to the letter:
Code:
www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/matrox-tv-out-howto
But when I run mplayer (mplayer -vo dfbmga whatever.avi) I get this error:
Code:
(*) parsing config file '/etc/directfbrc'.

Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
My /etc/directfbrc looks like this:
Code:
matrox-crtc2
matrox-tv-standard=ntsc
I created the device w/ mknod:
Code:
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 89, 0 Jun 23 23:33 /dev/i2c-0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 89, 1 Jun 23 23:33 /dev/i2c-1

Here's what my /proc/bus/i2c looks like:
Code:
i2c-0 i2c bt848 #0 Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-1 i2c bt848 #1 Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-2 i2c DDC:fb0 #0 on i2c-matroxfb Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-3 i2c DDC:fb0 #1 on i2c-matroxfb Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-4 i2c MAVEN:fb0 on i2c-matroxfb Bit-shift algorithm
And of course an lspci:
Code:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 03)
I'm using Slackware 9.1, kernel 2.2.24.
