Hello all,

I'm trying to get Mythtv working with QT-embedded and im having an issue with QTE not outputting to the Second head of a matrox g550.

I've followed the Qt-embedded thread's on the ML and still cannot fix the problem.

Right now im running CVS of mythtv/DirectFB 
I've already compiled mythtv/qte and have it working on the first head with the monitor.
But it wont output the the tv no matter what i try.
Mplayer will output fine to the tv with -vo dfbmga switch.

I've compiled qte.3.3.2 with the following.
"./configure -qt-gif -no-exceptions -disable-opengl -qt-imgfmt-png 
-qt-imgfmt-jpeg -qt-imgfmt-mng -thread  -qt-sql-mysql 
-I/usr/include/mysql/"

then i would export QWS_DISPLAY=/dev/fb0
and run mythfrontend -qws

that would bring up Mythtv on the console fine.
But when i would change the display to /dev/fb1 
it doesnt load.

Dmesg shows me that the second head is initlised to /dev/fb1
I've compiled into the kernel : -
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G450=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_I2C=m
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MAVEN=m
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y


my /etc/directfbrc file looks like this
#
matrox-crtc2
matrox-tv-standard=pal#I've tryed to use fbset on the second head but that doesnt seem to do anything.
Any suggestions ?
