Hello.
I hope you can help me, because i'm almost getting mad about the mythtv
installation :-)
My hardware:
-> Hauppauge PVR 250
-> Matrox G450 DH
After many hours of trying and many cups of tea i suceeded in compiling
mythtv with --enable-directfb.
I have also compiled mythtv with qt-embedded and compiled XDirectFB (a
X-Server using directfb).
Everything works fine - with the enviroment variable QWS_DISPLAY set
correct mythfrontend starts on my TV - and with my /etc/directfbrc:
"
matrox-crtc2
matrox-tv-standard=pal
primary-layer=2
no-vt-switching
disable-module=joystick
disable-module=ps2mouse
disable-module=lirc
disable-module=linux_input
"
--> dfbinfo:

--> compiled with --enable-multi (fusion module loaded)
XDirectFB runs with a nice quality on my TV-Out.
I want to use XDirectFB (mythtv not compiled against qte but with
--enable-directfb) because qte doesn't use directfb but only the
linux-fb device - the quality is not so nice like directfb.
But that's not import - my problem still remaining is:
When i start the playback of TV or a movie it isn't displayed on my TV
but on Head1 (Monitor) ->
example: mythfrontend runs on XDirectFB on Head 2 (TV-OUT) - then
starting Live-TV -> TV-Out black -> Live-TV plays on my monitor.
So thats my question -> How can i make mythfrontend to show the picture
on Head 2? I hadn't found any information about that.
I really hope you can help me, because i have the feeling i'm nearly
before a nice mythtv-center using my existing hardware.
Thanks!
