Hey there. I am currently looking at setting up a machine to play DVD
and other video stuff, through mplayer, for my loungeroom and I am
trying to work out what video card to use.

So far, it sounds like the DirectFB MGA support here is the best
available, so I am pretty interested in trying it.

It doesn't look like the G400 is easily available here any more, though,
so I wondered what other hardware this works with? 

I read your readme and the various DirectFB documents and couldn't tell
from them exactly what hardware does work.

The things that are easily available are the G450-eTV and the G550 with
DVI output. If you could confirm that either of those worked, it would
be great.


Thank you,
