[directfb-users] G550, TV-Out, SetFieldParity

[Stefan Lucke <stefan@lucke.in-berlin.de>]

Hi,

I've some problems selecting field parity with G550.

Setting cooperative level to ADMINISTRATIVE with the following code:

    fprintf(stderr,"[dfb] Configuring CooperativeLevel for Overlay\n");
    videoLayer->SetCooperativeLevel(DLSCL_ADMINISTRATIVE);
    //videoLayer->SetCooperativeLevel(DLSCL_EXCLUSIVE);

    fprintf(stderr,"[dfb] Configuring ColorKeying\n");
    //videoLayer->SetDstColorKey(COLORKEY);

    fprintf(stderr,"[dfb] Configuring CooperativeLevel for OSD\n");
    osdLayer->SetCooperativeLevel(DLSCL_ADMINISTRATIVE);
    //osdLayer->SetCooperativeLevel(DLSCL_EXCLUSIVE);

and selecting field parity with:

        if (setupStore.useMGAtv && (desc.caps & DLCAPS_FIELD_PARITY)) {
          dlc.flags = DLCONF_OPTIONS;
          dlc.options = DLOP_FIELD_PARITY;
          try {
            videoLayer->SetConfiguration(dlc);
          }
          catch (DFBException *ex) {
            fprintf (stderr,"Caught: action=%s, result=%s\n",
                     ex->GetAction(), ex->GetResult());
          }

          try {
            videoLayer->SetFieldParity(0);
          }
          catch (DFBException *ex) {
            fprintf (stderr,"Caught: action=%s, result=%s (could not set field parity)\n",
                     ex->GetAction(), ex->GetResult());
          }

        }

I get the following output:

[dfb] Configuring CooperativeLevel for Overlay
[dfb] Configuring ColorKeying
[dfb] Configuring CooperativeLevel for OSD
[dfb] Using this layer for OSD: Matrox CRTC2 Layer
[dfb] Using this layer for Video out: Matrox CRTC2 Layer
[dfb] (re)configuring Videolayer to 720 x 576 (720x576)
[dfb] creating new surface
Caught: action=IDirectFBDisplayLayer::SetFieldParity(int), result=Access denied! (could not set field parity)
[dfb] (re)configured 0x00200806

but the picture is shown on TV-out. When I set cooperative level to EXCLUSIVE,
the messages are like this and the screen stays black :-( :

[dfb] Configuring CooperativeLevel for Overlay
 (!!!)  *** WARNING [no video mode set yet] *** [layers.c:536 in dfb_screen_rectangle()]

Are there some other preconditions for setting/selecting field parity ?
