Hi!

I want to setup mythtv to use framebuffer instead XFree86 for TV output. I 
have G400 DH that has great support in DirectFB and i found out that mythtv 
supports DirectFB so I tried to set it up. I modified settings.pro so that 
mythtv use DirectFB insted X. Everything compiled ok. Then i tried to run 
mythfrontend and I got error message: "Cannot connect to X server" If I 
compiled it with DirectFB how come it still needs X? Bellow is a part from 
settings.pro.

Thanks in advance

P.S. Is it better to use framebuffer than X on low systems? I think that X 
needs to much memory and time to boot. DirectFB seems like much faster.

---------------------------------------

# X11 support

# Default Xv support
# CONFIG += using_xv
# EXTRA_LIBS += -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXinerama -lXv -lX11 -lXext -lXxf86vm

# IVTV (PVR-x50) support.  Disable if building on Windows.
CONFIG += using_ivtv
DEFINES += USING_IVTV


# DirectFB support
CONFIG += using_directfb
EXTRA_LIBS += `directfb-config --libs`
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += `directfb-config --cflags`
