<P><FONT size=2>fbset says framebuffer is set to /dev/fb0 and when i use fbset
to change it to /dev/fb1</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>it still doesnt fix the problem.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Firstly keeping it on /dev/fb0 will output mythtv to Framebuffer
on the Monitor in 640 res 8bpp very ugly.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>If i change it to /dev/fb1, Mythtv doesn't showup only the debug
info from mythfrontend running...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>for example. /dev/cdrom found...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Found mythbackend etc.. But no picture.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>It's odd because Mplayer has no issue playing picture to the TV
using the -vo dfbmga switch.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Anyone got any ideas i've been stuck on this for over a
week now.</FONT></P>
