Hi,
I'm using a Voodoo3 3000 with TV-Out for my "Multimedia Station". The TV-Out works fine using this modeline in xorg:
ModeLine "720x576PAL" 27.50 720 744 800 880 576 581 583 625
However, I would like to use the framebuffer (directfb with the tdfxfb kernel module) which does not work. My fb.modes looks like this (i converted the Xorg-modeline):
mode "720x576"
# D: 27.50 MHz, H: 31.25 kHz, V: 50.00 Hz PAL
geometry 720 576 720 576 32
timings 36363 80 24 42 5 56 2
endmode
But unfortunately, this mode doesn't work with my TV-Out (in contrast to the xorg-modeline which works just fine). I just get a distorted screen. Do I have to set anything special? Did I do any mistake or is it just impossible because directfb changes some registers on the card so that tv-out doesn't work at all?
