[Freevo-users] istallation woes... revisited

[Alan M. <si...@ya...>]

Hello,

I had to do a re-install of freevo-1.2.3, and was
pretty sure I followed the same steps as before (when
I was successfully able to get the OSD to show up).

However, this time, my PVR machine goes into
frambuffer mode, and "freevo_dep" and "freebo" gets
started, but when I swith over to "AUX" on my TV, it
just has a command prompt (i.e., it's bascially just a
monitor, albeit with really bad graphics!)

I am not sure what  Idid incorrectly this time.  Here
is what I did:

  1. Untarred/gzipped freevo-1.2.3.tar.gz to
/usr/local, and renamed the resulting directory to
"freevo"
  2. Went into /usr/local/freevo and issued a "make"
command, which successfully made all the necessary
modules
  3. Created /etc/freevo, and copied
/usr/local/freevo/boot/boot_config to it.
  4. Copied the "freevo_dep" and "freevo" scripts in
/usr/local/freebo/boot to /etc/rc.d/nit.d; added
"mga_ram_size=16" to the "insmod mga_vid.o" command in
the /etc/rc.d/init.d/freevo script.
  5. Copied the "matroxset" binary/script to
/usr/local/bin

The only other thing I did was edit the
/etc/freevo/boot_config script, and remove the
"--remote=lirc" bit from the FREEVO_OPTIONS line,
since I don't (yet) have a remote receiver (I was
going to try controlling via the keyboard from a
remote machine).

Here is the script I use to get everything started:

--- start_freevo ---
#!/bin/sh

## Start framebuffer mode
/sbin/modprobe i2c-matroxfb
/sbin/modprobe matroxfb_Ti3026
/sbin/modprobe matroxfb_crtc2
/sbin/modprobe matroxfb_maven

## Start Freevo
/etc/rc.d/init.d/freevo_dep start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/freevo start
--- start_freevo ---

The "Start framebuffer mode" part was taken straight
from the "modules" script that comes with MPlayer, and
which I successfully used previously, so I am pretty
sure it's okay.

Does anyone see anything I missed?

Thanx, in advance (again!)
