I thought that was not possible with XFree86, only framebuffer, using the matroxset utility to reroute CRTC1 to the second head/display. > and uyv conversion acceleration. Cool. Just to confirm, it will accelerate even when displaying on the second display/head (because that's the only head that supports TV-Out)? > Maybe > there is something about how syncfb is used in mplayer that prevents > this mode of operation? Maybe not. I never really tried syncfb with XFree86 because I need TV-Out and wanted acceleration and hardware scaling, both of which I thought were unavailale to the TV-Out head with XFree86. If the picture on the TV with XFree866 is not as dark as it was with the G400 using the framebuffer, and syncfb works, with hardware acceleration and hardware scaling I will be very pleased. b. -- Brian J.
