HDE Framebuffer ?

    I recently purchased a Reel HDE card and so far I'm very happy with the card. I know the support for this device is still relatively new but does anyone know if there are plans to make this card available as a frame buffer device (possibly to be used with DirectFB) ?

    You can easily activate the framebuffer from the HDe card, you must only "modprobe hdshm has_fb=1" on the load of the Module.



    But, this framefuffer is noch accelerated :(

    TV VDR: AOpen 945 GTM-VHL, Intel C2D-M 1,83GHz, 2GB RAM, HD Ext, 1x TT PCI S-3200 DVB-S2, Intel GMA950, VDR 1.6.0-HDTV, Gentoo 2007.1, Kernel 2.6.24
    VDR Server: Supermicro 370DE6, 2x Intel P3 866 MHz, 2GB RAM, TT-DVB-s Rev. 1.3, TT S1100 budget, KNC1 budget, TT S1401, 2x 500GB WD HDs, 1x 9GB U160 SCSI

    Hmm.. when I tried to insmod the hdshm.ko with use_fb=1 my system froze immediately. I didn't get a kernel oops or anything, it just froze. I had to hit the reset button to reboot. Maybe I'm missing some kernel options. Also, did you mean it is _not_ accelerated framebuffer ? Does that mean drawing to the OSD is slow ?

    the korrekt parameter is has_fb


    Code
    filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r3-HDTV/hdshm.ko
license:        GPL
author:         Georg Acher <acher at baycom dot de>
description:    Shared Memory Communication with HD Decoder
vermagic:       2.6.24-gentoo-r3-HDTV SMP mod_unload CORE2 
depends:        
parm:           has_fb:int


    Not accelerated means, there is no hardware acceleration on the HDe Card,l that means that a XServer runs a little bit slow and video playback also :(


    For OSD is the framebuffer fast enough.

    Oops, I typed the wrong module option in my reply but when I tried on my system I was using the correct option. Are you saying that with frame buffer device it does not use the DeCypher for MPEG decoder ? Is the video watchable when using framebuffer ? Do you know if Reel plans to add accelerated frame buffer support ?


    Sorry for all the questions here but for some reason I can't use Google translate on the official Reelbox forums, I get some sort of POST error.
