[directfb-users] Re: how can i set up xine to use directfb

["h.engemann@basicartstudios.de" <h.engemann@basicartstudios.de>]

ok, hate me or not.
Better search the own postbox than others.
i read the tread "df_xine g400 tv-out problem".
found in the extras package, when i run a video the TV goes black and
it seems to work fine, but no video on the screen.
i run this command: df_xine test.avi --dfb:primary-layer=2

than i created a logfile, like in the other tread,
whats wrong here?

primary-layer=2
disable-module=joystick
disable-module=ps2mouse
disable-module=lirc

xine-check gives me this:

[ good ] found video_out plugins
       These video_out plugins have been found:
        dfb directfb dxr3 fb none sdl vidix xshm xv


I reconfigured freevo and it wont display anything, too.
vdr works fine, right after a reboot, when have i run fb_xine,
vdr also gives me no TV Picture.
I know that i had to set the seoftdevice to YUV, to give me the TV Picture,
OSD runs in all modes.


hope you can help me.
