[mythtv] DirectFB/QTE on /dev/fb1 with ivtv / PVR-350

[Martin Rehfeld]

... Just to follow up on my own post, in case SB is interested.

The relevant settings for choosing the output framebuffer are not in
directfb but in QT-Embedded. One can either set the environment variable
"QWS_DISPLAY=:/dev/fb1" or use the command line switch "-display
:/dev/fb1".

What is directfb acutally used for - I though it was the low level
output driver below QT/E - am I missing something?

Martin

P.S.: As mythfrontend segfaults all the time with QTE I went back to
QT/X for now. Does anybody use QTE with more success?
