Hello I have observed a problem with the TVout function of Matrox G400, using mga_vid on the framebuffer. I have a few movies where it for som reason says: *** Allocating mp_image_t, 720x576x16bpp YUV packed, 829440 bytes I have read somewhere that the G400 only supports 24bpp & 32bpp on the second head.
