Hi.
Thanks for your answer - and regarding that, i think my chances to find 
a solution are not very well.
But with my hardware it isn't possible either to use vdr, because the 
analog_tv module is not longer developed (needed when running VDR with 
PVR 250).
I have applied your patch to: libs/libmythtv/videoout_directfb.cpp by 
using: " patch < matrox.diff " and gaving "patch" the path in my 
enviroment. Is that the right way? - because mythfrontend now quits with 
errors:

I think your patch was written to a previous version of mythtv - and 
doesn't change the right codelines in the new svn-release?
Are there any plans in mythtv's development to add the feature of using 
MatroxFB CRT2 in the future or the new release?

Thanks again,
