[directfb-dev] latest support for G400 DH add-on breaks "normal" G400 DH

[Lucian Muresan <lucianm@users.sourceforge.net>]

Hi folks,

I updated DirctFB too latest CVS as of 20.01.2005, and rebuilt all the 
apps using it (most important mplayer and vdrplugin-softdevice at the 
moment) and I couldn't run any of them, they all had an output similar 
to that from dfbinfo pasted here at the end of the message.
By searching after "Error reading from maven chip!" I found that the 
problem was introduced 4 days ago in matrox_maven.c. To verify, I kept 
the fresh CVS checkout but replaced matrox_maven.c/h with the version 
from Sunday, and everything seems to just work as expected.
Ville, if you need me to further test and diagnose this, just tell me 
what debugging/tracing I should turn on and where, or let me test your 
fixes.

Regards,
Lucian
