[mythtv-users] Problem with Qt-embedded Mythtv

[Dylan D]

Just to clarifye i now have fixed that issue and mythtv is running on my TV through directfb/MatroxFB/QTE


Anyways thanks all for the help.

Last but not least has anyone who is actually using Directfb/QTE got Livetv working, The frontend graphics works fine on the tv but functionality of mythtv is subpar for me .
most things dont work.

  To try and make things a bit more clear.

  Im using Knoppix-latest installed to HDD,
  Running 2.6.5 kernel
  Latest CVS of DirectFB
  Latest CVS of Mythtv
  Qt-embedded-3-3.1
  Matrox g550 agp duel head.
  My kernel config for the 2.6.5 is as follows.

  CONFIG_FB=y
  CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM=y
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE=y
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G450=y
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100=y
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_I2C=m
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MAVEN=m
  CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y
  CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
  CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
  CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
  CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y
  CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
  CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  Dmesg shows me my Matrox G550 fine.

  matroxfb: matrox G550 detected
  matroxfb: MTRR's tuned on
  matroxfb: 640:480:8bpp (virtual 640x65536)
  matroxfb: framebuffter at 0xE40000000, mapped to 0xe080d000, size 3354432)
  fb0: Matrox framebuffer device
  fb0: initalizing hardware
  then future down dmesg .....

  matroxfb_crtc3: secondary head of fb0 was registered at fb1
  -------------------------------------------------
  lspci -v shows....


  "02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G550 AGP (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

  Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]

  Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

  Capabilities: [f0] AGP version 2.0"

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

  my /etc/directfbrc shows as follows:-

  matrox-crtc2
  matrox-tv-standard=pal
  -------------------------------------------------

  fbset says framebuffer is set to /dev/fb0 and when i use fbset to change it to /dev/fb1

  it still doesnt fix the problem.

  Firstly keeping it on /dev/fb0 will output mythtv to Framebuffer on the Monitor in 640 res 8bpp very ugly.

  If i change it to /dev/fb1, Mythtv doesn't showup only the debug info from mythfrontend running...

  for example. /dev/cdrom found...

  Found mythbackend etc.. But no picture.

  It's odd because Mplayer has no issue playing picture to the TV using the -vo dfbmga switch.

  Anyone got any ideas i've been stuck on this for over a week now.
