[MPlayer-users] fb0 and udev, solved

[Peter Magnusson]

Oki, I solved it myself. By simply following my own howto about it.
http://www.flashdance.cx/tv-out-mga-fb.html <- this
(some things are changed in 2.6.18 but anyway..)

Kinda forgot that I had it... :)

Orginally it didnt work to have it as modules, that why I wrote it once.
This was around year 2002.

After some years I upgraded, then I got it to work with modules.

And now I upgraded again and couldnt get it to work with modules.
It really have to be in the kernel.

Strange.

Subject: [MPlayer-users] fb0 and udev

I was forced to upgrade to FC5 from FC3. Hate to upgrade, stuff gets BROKEN. 
ALWAYS.

I have a Matrox G400MAX gfxcard. /dev/fb0 and fb1 are needed for working 
TV-out. But they arent created. I have comment out;
KERNEL=="fb0",                 SYMLINK+="fb"
in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and added
KERNEL=="fb[0-9]*", NAME="fb/%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="video"

but it didnt help. They simply doesnt exist, udevstart doesnt help either.
Does anyone know how to make them created?

Yes I have loaded the modules;

modprobe i2c-matroxfb
modprobe matroxfb_maven
modprobe matroxfb_crtc2

.....
