[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] Hi Martin, I started developing two similar projects [one without X and one with X] two months ago, if you are interested you can get more info from http://movix.sf.net/
The one with X is called MoviX2. It uses the full X 4.2.0 libraries and supports all audio cards supported by the OSS and (in principle) all video cards supported by XFree86, and it has been reported working [more or less] fine with Matrox, Ati and NVidia cards. It boots from CD using SysLinux, loads the whole system in RAM, contains a mplayer compiled with support for most of the vo drivers [xmga,xv,x11,dga,gl,gl2,sdl,xvidix,fbdev,vesa,aa] and runs on machines with >= 96MB RAM, but Ati TV-out is still pretty unstable [did not manage to make gatos drivers working]. I actually do no longer use ATI TV Out, the TV set is directly connected to the VGA Connector. But TV-Out works too (I used it before I got the Modeline working), I connected the TV to the TV-Out before powering on

It would be very nice if you'd want to help me setting up the TV-out for Ati cards, but in any case you may find MoviX2 useful to expand your own project.
I'll try to grab some time to test it. Ciao Martin
Hope it helps, Roberto

I just got to say this because I'm really happy now *g*
I finally got my DivX-Player-PC working:
- P2/400, 128MB RAM
- Diskless Boot via Etherboot,DHCP,NFS-Root, running Debian Woody
- ATI All-In-Wonder Pro (4 MB PCI)
- VGA to RGB Adapter (see e.g. http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~pfeffer/tvout/ for the circuit / modelines) - Definitely the finest possible picture because no in-between converting to composite/s-video, but requires a RGB capable TV set
- minimal XFree86 4.1.0 (atyfb.o doesn't like interlaced)
- uses mplayer -vo x11 (-vo vidix seem not to work with interlaced modes, I got only the upper half of the video, the lower half was magenta), but it's fast enough to play DivX/MPEG4 Videos
- Logitech Cordless Keyboard (definitely the biggest remote ever seen *fg*)
TODO: - upgrade to XFree86 4.2.1 for xv support - nice pick-a-video GUI
As soon as it's running stable & reliable, I might put the stuff on a website.
bye
Martin
