[MPlayer-users] Matrox G400 DH TVOut problems

[Markus Winkler]

Hello,

I have a serious problem with tv-out and my matrox g400. every time i
start mplayer with 
        mplayer -vo mga -fs -screenw 640 -screenh 512 file
my system hangs.
u can see my sysconfig in the attached file.

what i did:
read the manual of course :-)
compiled the mga driver - no probs
mknod /dev/mga_vid c 178 0, insmod mga_vid.o - ok
alias, make install - ok
compiled mplayer MPlayer-0.90pre5 - no probs
compiled matroxset, fbse - no probs
mplayer is working in normal, means no mga vo, mode with no problems.
executed modules in tvout, took some time but worked.

executed matroxtv, chose "2" and the monitor and tv got black.
no picture on both
if i try mplayer with -vo mga the system hangs, no recovery possible

i first tried this on a suse 7.1 with a 2.4.0 kernel with its gcc 2.95
with the same results. that's why i upgraded to mandrake 8.2 and kernel
2.4.18 (did an upgrade of gcc to version 3.1) - just the same.
i even tried it with previous versions of mplayer.

i don't know what i did wrong. i hope i included everything important.

can anybody help?

with best regards,

markus winkler
