[linuxtv-softmpeg] softmpeg on crtc2?

[Christian Schuld <chris@sonnengesicht.de>]

Hi,

I've got libsoftmpeg running with vdr-1.3.11 - really nice work, Michael :-)
So my next goal is, to get it on the second (tv-out) head of my G450. 
Unfortuantly something like ./vdr -P'softmpeg --dfb:primary-layer=2' won't 
work, because ProcessArgs(int, char **) isn't implemented yet ;-)

My next try, was to add this direct into the source code:
DFBCHECK(DirectFBSetOption("primary-layer", "2"));

Now crtc2 gets activated, but stays black :-(
Here is the log:

Any hints, to get softmpeg working on crtc2? I have to admit, that I am a 
dfb-Newbie, so may be "primary-layer" isn't the way to go?

I really would like to have it on crtc2 since I have seen what a beautifull 
tv-out mplayer -vo dfbmga makes :-)
