is there a simple program which is able to play a picture on the matrox
second head (tv) like mplayer.
I am testing my tv out and look for a simpler program than mplayer for
elemiating errors in my configuration.
mplayer is not complicated to configure. it plays 100% on crtc2 if
directfb is corrrectly installed. just use following:
mplayer -ao null -vo dfbmga [video_file]
keep in mind to compile mplayer against the version of directfb you
installed - otherwise there maybe implications. also be sure to follow
ville's guide for tvout
