nope. like i wrote in my post: directfb can't do the trick with 4 matrox
cards, and that is what i need. i was told so on the directfb-list.

all in all the situation looks very bad for what i intend to do and i would
really wish for proper support of g450 tv-out. i wonder that not too many
people seem to have that problem, but then again, most people prolly stick
with directfb.
