[mythtv-users] Problem with Mythtv & QTE

Hello Juhka,
thanks for you reply :).
I dont think that my problem is directfb-related. QT embedded is 
responsible for the GUI, not directfb ;). (IMHO)
I tried it with the fbdev=/dev/fb1, but it doesn't work.
Anyway, I can use /dev/fb0 for mythtv because only the TV is connected 
to the card.
Did you have to setup the correct resolution on the first head, and is 
TV-OUT even possible with the first head?
