Dear Sir ,
I am using matrox g-200 vdieo card , and Mandrake 8.1 as the operating system .And i have downloaded the source of SDL-1.2.2 from the sdl.org wesbite but i dont get the viedo optput . I just get the sound when i try to run the mplayer which is using the SDL . Can you have any pointers on this . And where does the SDL fbcon driver check for the video modes cababilities in fbcon driver , since if the video card is capable of more resolution then the monitor how do i reduce the modes to a lower frequency .
Any pointers will be appriciated .
Thanks in advance
Dinesh Kumar
Hi Dinesh!
Dear Sir ,
I am using matrox g-200 vdieo card , and Mandrake 8.1 as
the operating system .And i have downloaded the source of SDL-1.2.2
from the sdl.org wesbite but i dont get the viedo optput .
Well, something is wrong …
Did you use the fbcon driver before? How long (or which version of SDL did
you use) ago?
I’ve had true problems with initializing the framebuffer within the
kernel. After I’ve initialized it properly (I got the penguin while
booting) everything, except the mouse, works quite well. Are you getting
the penguin during the OS boot? I assume you do, because the SDL_Init
wouldn’t pass without it. Are you sure you are using the fbcon driver and
not e.g. svgalib?
I just get the sound when i try to run the mplayer which is using the SDL.
Can you have any pointers on this . And where does the SDL fbcon driver
check for the video modes cababilities in fbcon driver , since if the
video card is capable of more resolution then the monitor how do i

I don’t know much about this. I’m using the G400 16MB SGRAM and it works
except mouse movement, which I should debug when I have time. It seems the
driver can’t even read from my mouse device, because I don’t even get the
debug messages. But this is not you case though…
I don’t have any better URL that this mailing list, I believe we can solve
this here after some time.
