[Linux-fbdev-users] Dual Monitor console with frame buffer

[Uncle B. <ih...@ya...>]

Hi, I am trying to get mplayer to play a v4l stream on
/dev/fb0 and another instance of mplayer to place a
v4l stream on /dev/fb1. fb0 works fine if it is
controlled by  vesafb, but not if its with rivafb
(mplayer returns an error about not being able to use
that video output). If I try to use fbset to match the
settings of the rivafb powered fb to the vesa powered
one, the system just locks. The second card is an ATI
Mach64 and when I try to run mplayer out to it I get
either the same error, or the system hangs. I'm sure
that if I can get a console on each monitor, mplayer
will co-operate.

I've been searching for days.

Thanks in advance

Rob
